Chinese Coins and Excitment On The Farm!

Hunter is sick once again! He was sick last week and started getting over that and then on Friday the school called. Hunter was very sick so I picked him up and took him to the doctor. He had the rotovirus. Very sick little boy but he seems to be feeling a lot better. Still running to the bathroom and is weak but better than what he was.

Saturday we had to make a trip to town, we stopped by Tractor Supply and Hunter found a basket for Strawberries. He wanted to plant and grow them so I could not turn him down, it's not like it was a toy or something and it was only $5. When we got home we got the seeds planted and now we just have to wait to see if they grow. He was a very happy little boy!

Here is a quilt that I had started probably 10 yrs ago and finished the piecing last year. Just one of those UFO's that I kept putting off doing. Not a fancy quilt but still a nice one, it is called "Chinese Coins" It measures to be a full-size bed quilt. I love the heavy quilting that she did on it not a bad job for $20 huh? Anyway, I have the binding attached to the front now and need to sew it down on the backside. Hopefully I can work on that on and off this week!


I have spent a lot of time outside this weekend. It has been so nice and near 80 degrees! Here is the maple tree that is in my front yard, it is starting to bud out! The animals are loving this weather! Speaking of animals....

I mentioned the other day about Beauma our mare that is about to foal. Well she is due around April 2 so by that she has 25 more days but.....she should have it SOON! I know I am going into great detail but this is just life on a farm. Her vulva is VERY relaxed and she lost her mucus plug earlier today. So just like a woman the birth should come fairly soon. If she has it tomorrow she will have it on my birthday!! :) Here are some photos of her today.

Here you can see how big her belly is! She is miserable!


And if you look real close in this photo you can see that her teats are waxing! Another sign that the birth is near.

This is the proud "Dad To Be" his name is Bullet!

While I was out taking photos, I took this one of Storm too! He is my baby! This is the one that the boys won on during the horse show in the "racking" class.

On the way back in the house I snapped a photo of a couple chickens! Lots more animals on the farm but I will save them for another day.
I think I will sit and work on my quilt to keep me from pacing the floor over Beauma! Would this make me a GRANDMOTHER since I consider all of these animals my babies!?! Hopefully my next post I will be showing a colt!
