Cody's Busy Weekend

 I'm working all weekend but we will be making

sure that Cody has everything he needs to go on

a week long hiking/camping/canoeing trip up in the

woods of Algonquin park.

He leaves bright and early on Monday morning

at 5 am.....gee I'm having flashbacks of Colin

leaving that same way just a few weeks ago, lol!!

 

He also has a plant sale and car wash

on this weekend, so I hope it doesn't rain.

Cody Won a Prize

 I'm pretty sure that I told you all that my oldest

had participated in a Trash Bash a few weekends ago.

He did this with his Real Life class from school.

It was raining and a miserable day but him and one

other student showed up, lol.

Anyway, some local real estate company was

offering a prize to be drawn for one student who

participated....well he won the draw!!

And it was $200!!!

He was pretty happy when he got home today

to show it to me....he just couldn't believe his luck, lol!!

We've Got Babies....Lots of Them!

 Yep, it's spring, lol.

On the farm that means baby time

 

This little guy is just a few hours old and momma

surprised us! I had been watching another mare,

(who hasn't even foaled yet, four days later, lol)

and saw this little guy beside his mother in the same field, lol.

This Palamino mare started giving birth just before

supper about a week ago.

Most mares foal very quickly and you miss it, no matter

how often you check on them, lol.

So we put supper on hold and even the little kids got

to see her have this little colt.

Notice that white on his back leg there...

he's still trying to get out of the sack

when I took this pic

We were hoping for a little palamino but

he's all red just like his daddy who lives here too

This little appaloosa colt was the second to be born

about two weeks ago.

His mom isn't the friendliest mare, so it's kind hard

to get close to him in the field but when

we go out to pet the other colt (coming up in the next

pic) this little guy comes real close just wanting

to be spoiled but still afraid to get close enough

for you to touch him, lol!

This little paint colt has just stood up for the first time

He was the first to come this spring and we just

missed his birth, but as you can see he's still

pretty wet so isn't even an hour old yet.

 

This one is our little pet, lol!!

His mother is the black mare there which you can

hardly see and while she isn't broke to ride,

she is super friendly and so is he!

When we go out to the field he is eager to greet us

and get his neck or behind rubbed, lol.

He follows us around and this is what makes the

other colt in my previous post want some of that

luvin' too

 

We've already had two offers on this one and he's not even three weeks old yet

And even more babies!!

But these aren't the kind with a mane, lol.

Our Australian shepherd has 4 puppies.

This one is a red and white like two of the others,

and the last one is black and white.

In this pic he's only a two days old.

They all had to go get their tails docked when they

were just 3 days old which sounds horrible,

but that's what the breed does

They are just opening their eyes now, and are

starting to get their legs under them....

look out nowlol

Colin is in Newfoundland

 Yep, he's done gone and left me!!LOL

 

He left yesterday morning at 5 a.m. on a bus bound

for Toronto where they were catching a flight to St. John's.

Just as we were leaving I asked if he had his wallet,

cuz he would need it to show his ID at the airport and

what do ya know, he couldn't find it!!lol

Back in the house we go and after at least 5 minutes

searching we find it, lol

 

This is a common thing with him, lol, and he has

already replaced his bank card twice within the last

few months because he lost the first one

So I am just hoping that he doesn't lose anything while

on this trip!

 

He won't be back till Sunday nite,

and he called today at lunch to say that things were

going well and he was having fun.

They were just on their way to have lunch at

Red Pepper.

 

They will be touring Signal Hill, Cape Spear and

Petty Harbour today and seeing a musical tonite.

They are also going to "The Rooms",

the Botanical Gardens, Freshwater Fluvarium,

a Spirit of Newfoundland dinner theatre,

the Geo center, Quidi Vidi Village

and many more places!

He's going to be pooped out when he gets home, lol!!

 

Our house is very quiet without him here, as

he is the one who can't sit still and is always

doing/making something, lol.

 

I have never flown before and this was his very

first time and I really wish that I would have been there

with him It was good to hear his voice today though

 

I sent him with two disposable cameras,

so I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures when

he gets back

update later....he did bring home a teeny, weeny Coke bottle...
273 ml...you can't even buy them here in Ontario!
