Of Horses and Chandeliers...


The things that excite you are not random...



Like beautiful chandeliers...

This beauty was found at a yardsale and it is now proudly hanging in my new office, I need to get some pictures soon.






And beautiful horses...

This is "Prada." She is a 2 1/2 year-old filly born at our farm...

If you 'Fall,' I will be there...

Except today~~~
Today, I was busy raking up all of the Autumn leaves and cleaning up the front yard...

When I was finished my front patio pots looked so empty. I detest empty porch pots, it's a phobia I have, well that and parallel parking...

I went for a walk wondering what I could do to perk things up on the front patio and the sagebrush and rabbitbrush along the trail were just breathtaking. I came home and ravaged my garden for some dried flowers and walked up into the brush and cut some seed heads and branches from various desert bushes and I filled those beautiful pots with some dried florals.




I used wild rose branches with some leaves still on them, dried wild sunflowers, some sagebrush seed heads, Russian sage, rabbitbrush with the yellow seed pods in full bloom, some dried yarrow flowers, dried sedum flowers and some raspberry canes with some leaves still clinging on...

A temporary home for the milk cow...

My hubby had a few days off this week, so he spent a little time building a temporary shelter for the bovines. Cows are similar to children I'm learning. New things really excite them. My cows LOVE straw. I'm not sure they've ever had it before, but they have developed quite a love of it this last month at our farm.

The cows were sleeping in this morning...


We have been having record-breaking COLD weather here in Central Utah...

The water troughs have been frozen solid. I've never seen such a thing this early in the year.



We have discussed putting up a barn for Clara and her calf, but we just haven't had to the time. We do have the possibility of moving them across the road to a stall in our horse barn, but it's not quite ideal.

Then, this record-breaking cold front moved in...
