New animals on the farm


I wanted to share pictures of the new animals on our farm. We are housing six horses that belong to the first counselor in our bishopric for the fall/winter season. They are beautiful to look at. They run and play and eat all day. Here are some pictures of them.

Here is a picture of the buckskin. She is a mare. There are five mares and one stallion. They come and talk to us over the fence. They are friendly.

We found this turtle in our yard. We put him in a box for a few days and then released him back into the yard. The kids had fun with him while we cared for him.


Here is our new dog. He showed up on our property yesterday and adopted us. That seems to be a trend around here, we either find animals or someone gives them to us. We are really starting to utilize this farm's potential! There's plenty of room, so the more the merrier! We have not chosen a name for him yet. We also see squirrels all day running up trees or drinking from our water in our bird bath dish.



This is our cat, staying her distance from the dog...




This is the cat and the dog checking each other out but keeping their distance. I'm happy to say, they are now friends.

wow! my kids would love to see all your animals! it sounds like you're all doing well. i'm glad you're keeping us updated.

we're not doing official joy school this year. some of us are doing a preschool co-op type thing like we did a couple of years ago. just once a week, for an hour and a half, so it's less stress. :)

today was the primary talent show. i miss your kids in primary. :(

i hope things continue to go so well!

What a dramatic change from the landscape in good 'ol bountiful! I am jealous of the horses...
So good to see updates on you all. The kids are growing so fast and as beautiful as their mother! You can have your farm, I am working towards my beach house :)

Will you be able to ride the horses? They are a beautiful addition, as well as the dog. Thanks for the bday message on computer and phone. I was SO sick, but I appreciated you thinking of me.
