Photos ‘Round the Farm + BIBPC

Hey everyone!!!! I am so sorry that this blog has been abandoned so much lately! *sighs* I’ve been meaning to make a post soon but… I’ve been too lazy about it! I know you probably don’t care too much to hear about how much I miss you all and how my life has been, so let’s get on to the fun pictures!!!! Honestly, a LOT has probably changed since I’ve last posted on here, especially since I last posted pictures…but we still have many of our same animals! Also, if you don’t know what BIBPC is, visit THIS POST!

I’ll start with the BIBPC photo for category #1: Cozy:

(while you’re at it, give a cheer for team FOX!!! WHOOO!!)

That is darling Guiney-bear! I don’t know how many of you remember her, but this is my sister’s gorgeous and very fluffy (aka cozy) Aussie!

Now if you notice the title does not only say pictures of Guiney for BIBPC, but Photos round the farm!!!! So, without further ado, into the “photos”!

First are the rest of the pics of Guiney!

Next is pictures of Scout! Taken this morning! He is SUCH a great model! 🙂 Haha! Honestly, he did really good with me taking pictures of him!

This one is definitely my favorite!!! I love how half of him just disappears into the black and the other part is lit up by the sun! That is one handsome dude!

Next is pictures of Junior! He is such a handsome and cuddly bull!

 

And, Junior’s newest release! XD haha!

Then there is the darling little baby deer! No, it is actually a calf…but please tell me that you also think it looks like a deer? I think it does!

Next is my fluzzy little Meow!!!

And lastly, the best couple pictures of them all that I took last night!

Cattle dog, boots, hat, saddle and blanket… and I am proud to say that those are my boots, my saddle AND my hat! Frog is SO good with all of that! Such a good ol’ boy!

Hey guys, thanks for reading! Don’t forget to check out that post on Megan’s blog! Are you participating in BIBPC? If so, let me know down below! Thanks so much guys! Talk to you soon! Please let me know which pic was your favorite!

Sincerely,

Introducing The Summer Bored Games

Hey guys! Yesterday in my post (Introducing…Meow (+photo shoot)) I mentioned there was a really exciting post coming today that you wouldn’t want to miss. Well, now it’s here! Guys, if you are scrolling past this on Reader wondering if it’s worth your time, I’m telling you that it DEFINITELY is! You WANT to see this!

So now, I am introducing…..

*drumroll please*

The Summer Bored Games

Ever had one of those days… or weeks.. maybe even entire SUMMERS, where you just felt like you wasted eternities of time sitting around because you had NOTHING to do? Well, no more! We have the Summer Bored Games now! A fun and creative way to not only bust your own boredom, but to make others around you smile as well! Full of thoughtful challenges and crazy activities, the Summer Bored Games will give you a summer full of memories, fun, and so much more! The more challenges you complete, the more points you get. And on top of shooing boredom out the door, having fun, and making others’ days, you can even win an amazing prize by earning enough points!

CHALLENGE HOSTS:

Megan // A Barefoot Gal

Clara // Clara & Co.

K.A. // Cuddly Critters Blog

Allison // A Farm Girl’s Life

CHALLENGE RULES:

We four hosts (Megan, K.A., Allison, and I) will take turns posting a challenge post, one a week, for the month of July.

Each post will have 35 challenges, ranging from 1-4 points each – the harder the challenge, the more points you earn! Super hard or courageous challenges earn you Mega Points, which means 10 points instead of 1-4.

Participants collect points by successfully completing challenges. You don’t have to do the challenges in the order we list them, and you obviously don’t have to do them all (but then you won’t get as many points). However, you must complete any weekly challenges within the week that they are posted for those points to count. If you miss a week, feel free to do the challenges just for fun, but they won’t earn you any points toward the giveaway.
Also, please understand that honesty is always the best choice. Do not say you did a challenge when you really did not. No one wants that. I trust every one of you to follow the rules and not do that. Please don’t make me lose that trust.

HOW TO REDEEM POINTS:

In each of the challenge posts, a survey will be provided that participants can use to send their points from the completed challenges to a (only one) host blogger for a chance to win a prize (host bloggers are not eligible for the prize). However, if a participant would rather conquer the challenges just for fun and not win a prize, then they can simply complete the challenges however they wish and not worry about keeping track of points.

PRIZES:

Prizes come in a three-tier winner system. Participants are entered for a chance to win the prize corresponding to their point range.

If, at the end of the challenge, you have 0-50 points, you are not eligible to win a prize. If you are in the lowest prize tier, which is for participants with 51-250 points, you have a chance of winning a $5 Amazon gift card. If you are in the middle prize tier, which is for participants with 251-400 points, you have a chance of winning a $10 Amazon gift card. If you are in the top prize tier, which is for participants with 401+ points, you have a chance of winning a $15 Amazon gift card.

At the end of the challenge, we’ll tally up each participant’s total points, fit them into the proper point tier, and random-generate the winners. If you work hard, you can earn yourself more of a chance for more of a prize!

DATES:

Challenge Post #1: Clara & Co. on July 2nd

Challenge Post #2: A Barefoot Gal on July 9th

Challenge Post #3: A Farm Girl’s Life on July 16th

Challenge Post #4: Cuddly Critters Blog on July 23rd

Challenge Winners: Clara & Co., A Barefoot Gal, A Farm Girl’s Life, and Cuddly Critters Blog on July 30th

IN CONCLUSION:

To sum up the above info, you can look at this helpful graphic made by some of your amazing hosts!

Introducing…Meow!(+photo shoot)

Hey guys! I know it’s been FOREVER since I last did a post on this blog that I actually wrote! Crazy, right? I used to do one almost every day! 😉 Or sometimes twice a day! Anyways, here I am!

So, as the title simply states, I am here to introduce to you a very very special member of the blog! MEOW!!!! Now, if you can’t tell, Meow is a cat. He is actually not very little, I just haven’t really made time to tell all of you about him! He is SO sweet and cute! I will do a quick little “Profile” about him, and then I will move onto the fantastic photo shoot of him! Which I think you guys will really love, as he is the most photogenic animal I have ever come in contact with! 🙂 So first:

Meow

Meow is a sweet, gentle cat. His hobbies include being a good barn cat, taking naps, and watching mice. (as to how many he actually catches… I’m not sure. ;)) He also loves drinking bits of cow milk that are given to him. But his favorite thing to do is to play with his owner (aka the one in the family that loves him the most, me) and snuggle into her arms.

Gender: Boy
Breed: Uh..barn cat
Color: Tabby
Nicknames: Mow (pronounced ow (pain) with m), Mew… etc
Owner: Meeeee
Companions:… me? and he likes the chickens..and sometimes the milk cows

Okay, now that you know a bit about this handsome little fuzzball (who, did I mention is extremely lazy), I will move on to the adorable pictures of him! Hold on tight, because some of these are TOO cute for bearings!

Isn’t it neat how the light through the trees almost looks like a spotlight?

Okay, so I had to post both of these, even thought they look so similar(the one above this and below this), because the one below was taken right after the one above…notice any difference? Yes, his neck is slightly longer and taller in the second one! XD The vacuum in the house started going at that moment, and he heard it and was trying to decide whether to stick around for some more modeling, or to run for his life. Thankfully he stuck with choice A. But I like to look at both of them, because in the first he’s just chilling there, and the next it’s a life or death choice on his mind.

ONWARDS!

HOW IS THIS CAT SO PHOTOGENIC?????? None of my other animals hold still enough for me to use the close-up setting!!! I LOVE YOU MEOW!

Is this not just super cute? He looks shocked. XD

This is one of my favorites! Just because of the lighting, clarity, and how the picture is centered!

This one is for sure my favorite. Look at those amazing eyes. I love this guy so much!

Anyways, there is the end of the photo shoot and introduction of MEOW!!!

Goodbye, and have a fantastic day! Also, please drop me a comment on which was your favorite pic, and how you’ve been lately! Miss you guys, and stay tuned, for an EXCITING post tomorrow that you will NOT want to miss!!!!

Sincerely,

Your blogging buddy,

K.A!

The Horse’s Pasture Life… (+lots of pics)

Why the long face? Maybe some horse pictures would cheer you up!

We went to pasture a while back (where a lot of our horses are) and I got quite a few pictures! I decided that since it’s been QUITE a while since I made a REAL post, I would do one now! 😉

So why do we put our horses out to pasture?

So the horses go out in this pasture throughout the summer and then come back to our place in about September or October… November if we’re lucky! 😉 Now, when I say I like them being out to pasture, I don’t say this because I don’t like them being at our place…but when they can be out on grass, it is not only WAY better for their health, but also is great for them to be able to have that kind of space and nature…and a lot less expensive. We have one horse that gets respiratory problems when she eats too much hay, so we can’t use her too much unless she’s out to pasture (she doesn’t eat grain), so it’s good to get her out to pasture. We also have Huddy (the flea-bitten gray(a color)), who is pretty old (24ish?), and she is way healthier when she can be on grass out to pasture. So there are way more pluses than negatives to having them in pasture. And don’t worry, we always make sure they have access to plenty of water when they’re out to pasture. So just a few reasons why we like having them out there!!!

Pros and Cons about Pasture:

Pros:

• It helps them be healthier.
• It’s less expensive.
• They love the space to run around and exercise.
• If any of them bully each other in small pens, a lot of time they won’t in pasture because they have more space.
• They absolutely love it!

Cons:

• They get cockle burrs more easily.
• They sometimes aren’t as easy to catch and pet (the younger ones) after being out to pasture.
• They have to be picked up and dropped off. (which isn’t usually a huge big deal)
• We sometimes get calls saying the horses got out of the pasture, and we have to go catch them and lead them back in! XD (that one is actually pretty funny most of the time! Only after the fact, of course.)
• We have to check the water to make sure it doesn’t run out.
• When they start running out of green grass, we need to bring hay.
• We have to make sure they have a salt block out there so they get their minerals. (which we do that when they’re home too, but we have to haul it out to pasture on the fourwheeler when they’re out there. )

But see, even the cons aren’t always cons! The fact that we have to bring them hay when they run out of grass is more of a fact then a bad thing… I mean, it’s not hard! 😉  It’s fine. I love having the horses out to pasture, and even though it may seem that there are more cons than pros, the pros even out and make it all perfect, and I love having them out there! But when they’re at my house, I can play with them and ride them easier! 😉

Now that I’ve bored you to death with information you probably already knew and didn’t care to hear, do you want to see some slightly more interesting pictures???

Do you???

Are you ready? Here we go!!!

So, we first headed out to the main pasture just to check up on everyone. This is when we were first approaching the horses on the fourwheeler!

A horizon picture!

(picture below) It was the cutest thing ever- when we drove up, Pepper saw us and just started walking all the way to us while the other horses just stared! Keep scrolling to see more pictures of that! It’s hilarious!

I love this picture!

This next picture is great because this horse (Cricket) like NEVER lets me pet her, so I got a picture of me petting her!This is Autumn!!! In a silhouette!

Now we’re in the other pasture, with two different horses: Daisy, and Harley.

She’s such a poser!

And again!

Random sky picture! 😉

This is one of my favorites! *featuring random horse tail hair!*

This is probably another favorite! It’s great!!! I was having fun playing with pictures in the sun! I like those two red spots!

That’s all of them!!!! I hope you enjoyed that! 🙂 I’ll try to be back soon… I need to do a photoshoot of a special horsie outside….BEFORE I INTRODUCE HER!!!! Stay tuned for that special post! 😉 😀 Bye everyone, thanks for looking at this post!
