June 2008  

Well, a lot has been happening at the farm.  For Mother's Day, Bert and the kids had a sign made to go in front of the farm (see picture below).  The sign was such a thoughtful gift and really made it feel like this will really be our home one day!  Bert bought a bush hog and has been busy bush hogging the property and also putting up more fencing.  Bert and I took a nice picture of Lady's head in a round frame so we could have a custom sign put on our entry gate.  Below you will see a picture of the photo then the artists rendering of it for the gate.  We laugh every time we look at the photo because I actually had a nasty fall and suffered a concussion while taking that photo..long story, stupid mistake!  At any rate, we DID get the picture we were trying to get and all is well.  We have also been busy deciding where all our building structures will go as well as the arenas.  We plan (budget permitting) to have a jumping arena, round pen, and a full size dressage arena.  We also hope to construct some cross country jumps around the property. The beauty of having so much time, is that we can do a lot of the work ourselves.
