Thanks RC! I think it is kind of dark though.

Maybe. But they way they are leaning in to chat to each other is precious.

Looks rather costly…

Maybe more scaled down only two or three strands - ?

I know tomorrow is Pony Sunday, but Rosie celebrated both the first day of spring break and the fact that Russ's abscess is healed playing in the ring so I got a ton of pictures. Here is just a sneak peak with some of my favorites.

Well I did. But I can’t see it in camera because it is i. the lower level nest boxes.
I need to figure how to use the second doorbell in those nests. Maybe these ladies are playing three dimensional chess!

I used a heating pad and it worked really well. It is critical to make sure you get one that doesn’t automatically shut off. Sunbeam still makes one of you can get it in Canada, model 731-500. There are a couple of good threads on making a “momma heating pad” cave. You just need something to make a fairly rigid frame that you can attach it to, preferably at an angle and some way to adjust the height. Here are a few pics of mine. The heating pad is sandwiched between the frame and some hardware cloth to keep it in place. I strapped a kitchen towel on the underside to give them something soft to snuggle against. Another towel that I covered with Press and Seal is draped on the top. They loved snuggling under it, and also laying on top of it.

Will definitely send healing thoughts for Mike.


Oh no! Hope you manage to take care of the culprit.

Awwww so cute and so creative that’s a wonderful place to snuggle!

Pony Sunday
For once I can contribute!

All you horse people can tell me all about this one. There are usually two of them in a field across the way from me. I keep forgetting to snap a picture but remembered when I was heading off on my trip.

Wow what a beauty ! Black with all that ‘chrome’ (white legs and face are chrome). Very unusual and pretty.

You’re so cheap!

Power costs lots here!

Also I am not convinced my Buttercup won’t try to fly over it!!
