Wordless Wednesday: Mules Coming and Going

 Coming...

Going..

A few words this Wordless Wednesday - this is yours truly learning to drive a 4-up.  That's Molly and Nellie as lead mules;  Frank and Jesse are the wheel team.

Love those dancing mule feet!

Wordless Wednesday: Summertime

 

All of our many hummingbird feeders are very busy as the "hummers" ready themselves to take off for winter quarters.  Flocks of geese began heading south a couple of weeks ago.  I suspect we'll have an early winter in the Ozarks.

Our equine, Cakes and Ditty, could care less about the little winged things.

Jeffie likes to watch the hummingbird wars from a safe distance where they won't dive bomb him.

National If Pets Had Thumbs Day

Ruuuuf! (wow) Now this is a holiday we can really sink our canines into! If we only had thumbs... it would be much easier to take the lid off our cookie jar! Soccer and flippy flier would take on a whole new dimension! We could use the can opener open our favorite, Country Stew. The list could go on and on! And we don't even want to think about what it would mean for the horses! They'd be going on exciting new adventures since, with thumbs, they could open all the gates! Hey! Wait a minute! WE could open gates, too and go with them! sigh... we'll use the whole day just coming up with thumb ideas! A big paws and claws up to National If Pets Had Thumbs Day!
Woof! Woof!
