Yesterday,on my way to Ordway to do the "Randy" chores I saw a pair of coyotes. I was headed west and they were cutting across the pasture headed north. Then I turned north and a young coyote ran across the road in front of me! That's too many coyotes for me in one area! Glad they are not closer to my house! Although we have our share. Every once in awhile I throw a firecracker out the door to scare them away because they are making too much racket, too close to my yard!

Today, as I was headed to Ordway, I saw the most beautiful Buck run up to the road! He was awesome but, what I didn't realize at first is he wasn't stopping! He kept on coming and I had to hit the breaks to keep from hitting him! Then as I cross the bridge I glanced to the west and there were 4 or 5 more crossing the river! What a sight. It was just neat. Guess this is wild animal week!
Larry got to see a momma Bobcat and kitten on his way to Rachel's house. I am so jealous!
I will be able to post wild Halloween pics on Friday! Eeeeew! Hope they're not too scarey!

Pumpkins!

These are my 3 little pumpkin carvers!
Damon, Aiden and Hunter!
Damons' had 2 faces.

Hunters' had two sides as well!

Aidens' was the scariest! Especially in the dark!

Round one ...done!

Well, according to a neighbor this horses nose would turn black and rot where the bite was. He looks pretty darn good to me! Took this picture this morning. No swelling,no black, no nothing. And I am thankful! Dispite the flies trying to gobble up his face he is fine.

Not all fun and games

Today started out pretty interesting. My poor horse was bit on the nose by a snake! I am sure he don't appreciate it a lot. His mouth is swelled open so the flies are having their way with him. I put him in tall weeds so he can maybe wipe them away.(Probably good place for more snakes) There is not a whole lot I can do for him. Antibiotics and fly spray. Poor baby. He is a site for sure. Never a dull moment. If it is not a kid it is a critter.

Hot Tub Treat

Tonight my son said,"I'm going to take you somewhere." I said ok?

What a sweetie. He took me to the kids' other grandparents house and we got to get in their new hot tub! Pretty awesome. Never expected anything like that! AND we were invited back so we could have a barbeque or something. I think that is a nice invite since the price of propane is out of this world! No pictures...but it was nice!

Coyotes!

I think I may need a BIG dog that is good with kids and cats and furocious with coyotes! They were very close to my house tonight. I yelled at them and threw a fire cracker but I think all I scared is our old dog who is now on tthe porch with the cats! They give me chills when I hear them especially that close! My son came in the room and told me not to let my little dog out. I thought that was kind of nice since he doesn't like her. But for him to come and tell me they were here, it wasn't just cos they just "sounded" close, they were close!
