The Last Few Days up in the Mount.

So, I was looking at my mother's camera and came across some photos she took last Sunday, and I decided I would blog them on. Last Sunday, was cleaning time, moving time, and for me, well, I got in a last minute horse ride with one of our neighbors. Actually, the neighbor who used to own Spirit. I also have some pictures from BEFORE the wedding and when our good friend and photographer, Missy, was visiting.

But first I will post a photo of a AWESOME sunset. It isn't the best photo. We were in the car and Mom pulled to a stop so I could take a pic as we went to pick up my older brother from work.

This photo is one that my older brother took of our old property, before we moved.



Riding Flash. Flash is a Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse gelding. He is a nice ride, very responsive.



Our neighbor and I riding Flash and Gunny. Gunny has such a gorgeous coat!

This Sunday we had some friend's stay for lunch after Sunday meeting. Their two or three year old helped make pizza, and play in the flour.

The Last Eight Years!

We are moved....But definitely not completely unpacked. We brought our big German Shepherds down last night and they are still adjusting. Elsie, however, is settled in quiet well.

I decided to make a picture post about the last eight years of our life in the mountains, and tell about what we did and what we learned!

We built a stucco house and several other buildings on our property.

Made hand prints in our dog kennel.


Raised our first dogs, Poimein and Skia

Skia


We learned how to raise chickens. Me and Tennessee.

Raised meat lambs for several years. (Wilbur, Patches, Delta in the far back, Hoody? and Conqueror.)



Purchased, half raised, and attempted to train exotic yaks.

Owned our first and second camels, Tu and Gunner.

Owned our first horse, Ashanti.


Had a really good mare, Spirit.

Learned to ride.


We met new friends.

Explored different areas.

And did countless other things! Enjoy!
