Hands, Hay, Hay eaters and Flowers....and Frogs.

Well....I really think that someone needs to cut this hay.  I am so too short for this.  




You think you are too short.....look at me!!!!




What a relief!!!  Short grass for short legs.  



At least the butterflies like it.  




Because of a recent hand injury, my husband was unable to help with picking up our hay.  The hay is from my parent's farm.  So....my dad helped me load the hay and then I hauled it back to our place.  



My poor little truck worked very hard.  
So did my dad!!!  Happy Father's Day!!! He he he.  



My parent's farm is very pretty.  I also must add that the hay is very nice.  




THANKS DAD!!!!!




Larry the Magnificent also got some hay and helped us bring more in for our horses.  His truck and trailer can handle much more hay.  
Thanks LTM.  



The day that my husband hurt his hand, we caught our wild mini mule Ollie to have his feet trimmed and give him a makeover.  Oh, and the hand injury had nothing to do with Ollie.....That happened later in the day. 



He is such a wild thing.  He may be small, but he is very very strong.   A Mighty mule.  



Just look at that cute face!



What!!!   I thought I was the cute one.  



No....it is me Fran the frog.....I am the cutest. 
Besides.....just look at my beautiful flower.  



Speaking of beautiful flowers......




After getting behind on blogging from visiting doctors and hauling hay......My flowers are a welcomed sight!




The butterflies love these foxgloves.  

Me too. 


My Canterbury bells are just beautiful this year. 




Blooming like crazy...




My delphiniums are also going wild...Here you can see how tall they are.   Those are my giant pumpkin plants in the front.  



I love the blue and purple that blend together in these.  




This is a wild orchid.  Of course, I am unsure of the name. 




It has huge leaves. 




Ahhhh.........




The end.

  2. I'm glad to see someone can cut hay. Here it has been so wet hay cutting is out of the question and it looks like there's no relief in sight.
