Summer Photo Update

(This is a post I made a while ago and never posted. I'm not going to finish it, but here it is anyway.)

It's been a while since I've posted and, despite the fact that this is summer, I've been really busy. I wish it weren't that way and it probably wouldn't be if I would stop putting stuff off, but that's how it is. Since I last posted I have taken pictures of the following: Rusty and Pepper, miniature horses, and my Ben medallion. My mom got pictures of me riding.

Rusty and Pepper were totally uninterested in me when I went to see them last weekend. They decided to eat rather than be hams like the minis I saw. They never have been, so it's nothing new.

Yesterday I went to Crowe's Nest Farm to drop off my Bearded Dragon lizard, who is imaginatively named Lucky. Since I'm going away next year, he needed a new home. Crowe's Nest's Bearded Dragon died a month or two ago, so we were happy to find each other through my friend Mandy.

Crowe's Nest also had several groups of miniature horses. One consisted of three full-grown horses and a foal. There was a pinto gelding called BooBoo who was the most tame of the three. Then there was a mare who I believe is a silver dapple. She wouldn't let me touch her, but if I'd had more time I think she would have because she looked very curious. The last adult horse was the broodmare, who apparently doesn't like people. Her foal is very friendly, though.

There were more mini photos but I can't be bothered to go find them now. Oops.

Horses

Okay, so I didn't post the horses right away. Sue me. I'm easily distracted when it comes to the internet... but if stuff outside the World Wide Web is more interesting, that's good.

Anyway, here are a few horse pictures.

You can see the editing difference between the two shots of Kate, right?

And because this blog needs more cat photos, here's Rider.


Oh! I almost forgot. The latest additions to the NMH farm aren't the calves anymore... we have goats now! Technically they don't belong to the farm. They belong to the incoming farm manager... but they live here now. They are SO cute, and they make this awesome noise that sounds like a door creaking.



Calf Photo Spam

I guess that after so many Blank Photo Spam posts I should just rename this blog "Photo Spam" and entitle my posts after whatever I'm spamming with. That would make everything so concise.

Today I have various photos of the calves, Sarah and Jordan, and afterward I will be making a second post today with the horse photos. Sound good?

Lots of photos of Jordan first.







Next for Sarah.

It's sad that I have so many more pictures of Jordan, because he was the one who nicked my finger while attacking the bottle I was holding for him. I like Sarah just as much, if not more, because she's so sweet. But they're both lovely.

I guess this post could be maybe a little longer... right?

Cider apples. Speaking of which... as soon as I finish this post I'm off to the dining hall for some cider!
