Winter is Here!

Just when you think you've seen it all, something new happens on the farm; well, not exactly new...these horses know exactly where they're going.  But mom said it was new to her.  If you notice, she had to back up while she was shooting the video.  Those guys are BIG!  Check out the video footage on out YouTube right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6iUx_N14vg

All Dressed Up for Lights in the Woods!

Those horses knew their way, but we young mothers-to be were rudely moved from our outside stall to our winter quarters yesterday morning.  We didn't like that one little bit!  We get awfully nervous when we're separated, or when our routine changes, and BOTH happened yesterday!  Though I must admit that we're lots warmer here in the barn.  And now that I think about it, I do recall being here last winter. 

Hey, that's Daisy, with Last Year's Kid!!!!

Before we were moved, that silly calf Pumpkin joined us in the pasture for one last day. 

He's not sure WHAT he is. 

Kathy made us all come in though, because we were awfully curious about the strands of lights her crew had strung for "Lights in the Woods", our Christmas fundraiser.  We need those fundraisers to buy our feed and pay for our vet bills.  I hope you'll join us; there are wagon rides, hot chocolate, cookies, and of course we'll be there if you'd like to meet us (I like licorice, if you're interested!). Here's more information for you: http://www.flinthill-farm.org/.  If you come, you'll be able to see those big, beautiful Belgians in action!

Aren't they beautiful?

Lights in the Woods will happen on Dec. 18, 19, 23, 26, and 30, from 5:30 - 8:30 PM.  It's good family fun.  And I'd love to meet you (especially if you bring licorice!)
