I thought about Gobble, Gobble but that is just plain tacky. Hunting is a fact of life around here. Sure, it's a sport but it's also much more. I never realized how important animal management is until Papa started the DMAP program. Just like too much or too little water on my tomatoes... too many does/bucks/gobblers/hens, etc throws off the whole circle of life.
Heck-fire, I'm trying to be too complicated here. Ryan hunts. Ryan killed a turkey. Yeah Ryan!
Yesterday was ASC's Prom
Don't these 2 look sharp!
I got to the rodeo just in time to leave and make it back home for pictures before the limo picked them up. They went to Jax to eat 1st. Next up, Prom @ FHS the Thursday before Easter.then I guess GRADUATION!
Thanks for the pictures, Amy!
The last 3 weeks have been hard. Nothing I can't handle. Not hard like my world is falling apart but hard like when you just feel unnecessary. Know what I mean? I know Nana does. She taught me about days when you "feel unnecessary." My boys used to have them all the time when they were @ Cotton Branch Daycare. I think it was her nice way of saying they were NOT in a good mood.
Anyway, I just walked out on the front porch and noticed Ryan doing this...
know what he's doing? Checking to see why the dump truck won't move. Yep...STUCK. It's wet. It's nasty. The sun hasn't come out in days. My spring break was planned around working in my yard. I want to move all that brand new mulch to it's new home. See all the trees and shrubs budding out? That's God reminding me of his timing.
Bucky's baby is here. I don't know how I managed to get the boys up and out the door early Tuesday but we had time to go check on Bucky before school. I was so shocked to see a beautiful baby standing beside her!
I think I'll call her Lucky. Bucky lost her last 2 babies. 3 strikes and you're SOLD so Bucky is LUCKY that this baby is alive and well. We don't know what happened to the last two. Her 1st baby was the best colt we had 4 years ago.
In case you don't remember the story about Bucky: Shelly bought a red roan for me one Christmas before Sam was born. He was Hancock bred and I called him Hank. He was only 18 months old and couldn't be ridden. By the time he was old enough to ride I was either pregnant w/ Sam or taking care of him and well, one day Hank was gone... Shelly traded him for Bucky. Hank was my horse so it only made sense that Bucky would be mine. Shelly said I could have the mare but he would get the colts. I was cool w/ that until Bucky lost her 2nd baby Mares that don't have live babies aren't kept around to feed for nothing. Life was hectic last year when Bucky lost her 2nd baby. I took it really hard and blamed Shelly for not taking care of her even though I know he barely has time to ride through and look at all the animals a few times a week much less every day. This year I wanted the baby to make it. Mostly so Bucky would get to stay but a lot because I just needed something to go RIGHT. Shelly told me the morning the baby was born that he was worried he'd have to leave the country if Bucky's baby didn't make it. I promise I wouldn't have put a hit out on him! Mrs. Jackie asked me if the baby would stay or be sold. I don't know the answer but I do know that you can't keep them all. I feel like if one of our babies will reach it's full potential w/ another family then that's where he/she needs to be. I am attached to this one though :)
Two babies in 1 week... both girls
I'm still waiting on one particular baby to get here...
Shelly says there's still 1 more to come before Bucky's baby gets here. I can hardly wait.
