Friday night on the ole farm.

We got another day of sunshine today, dodging the rain, thunder and lightening that was forecast. Funsize came over for dinner and then she, Hubs and I went out to the barn to do some riding.

We harnessed up Kipper the Rotund Rebel and I took him in the cart while Funsize saddled up Lil' Bud and off we went. Hubby manned the camera so that I would have some pictures for the 'ole blog. We got them brushed up and sprayed with lots of bug spray and lots of people spray on us.

Funsize and Lil' Bud have a special relationship. She has been riding him since she was 11 years old and he goes better for her then anyone else. He does a lovely rocking chair canter for her that he will not do for me or anyone else but her.



We headed out through the carriage trails and it was blissfully bug free as there was a nice breeze. (Plus we had on enough bug spray to cover the whole town.....)

Now you may have noticed the Confederate flag saddle pad. When I bought it I thought it was pretty because I like red, white and blue. When I got back to the stable everyone started giving me a hard time, the Yankee that I am, with a Confederate saddle pad. I was clueless but I wouldn't take it back!

I took some pictures of my flowers this afternoon. The have started to perk up with a couple days of sunshine. These are in an old bean pot that I found in the basement of one of the houses that I redid.

Mock orange that has the most delightful scent.

I put white and yellow daisies along the walkway this year instead of petunias. They will get so big when they fill out and be gorgeous.

Aren't these shades of pink just delicious?!

More next time! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
