Always Something to Do

 It's so beautiful here. There is all kinds of room, not only here at the Nashs,

but everywhere you look.

 Bart has been trying to help out around the place fixing/mending a few things here and there. We bought some wood to help fix a few spots in the fence where trees have fallen.

 The horses really seem to love it here. They have adapted to the pasture grazing, the weather and the barn really well.

 The barn is setup nicely. We really like it. There is a breezeway into the barn, then the corrals are on one side. There is an enclosed part where the horses can get in out of the wind, but they don't like going in there. I think because it is so dark in there. Dan & April don't like it at all, but DeeDee doesn't care. She will go right in there - especially if you have grain for her.

 Off of the enclosed part is a short little run for them. They hang out here the most, when they aren't turned out to pasture. We had to buy some panels to enclose part of the area. This part is also covered, so when it rains, they all come back up to the barn, and stand under the cover til the rain stops. They are pretty smart. We are trying to get it all situated, so when we leave, it will already be set up for the Nashs in case they decide to get a horse of their own.

 This is just one of the many pastures that the horses can go out into. They just love it. At first, I turned the horses all out into their own pastures, so they could all have their space. But April didn't like it at all. She would run around like crazy working herself all into a sweat. At one point I thought she was going to try and jump the fence! So, I would turn DeeDee out into her own, and then Dan & April together. But now, I just turn them all out together into the different pastures. There is plenty of rom. When they get them all chewed down, then I turn them out into another area. They are awesome lawn mowers!

 The house is quite a ways from the barn.

The barn is located at the top of the hill. It's so peaceful here. I really like it when it starts to rain while we are here at the barn. We can just sit in here, and listen to it. It is amazing!

 There is dense trees and brush on all sides of the place. You can't see the neighbors next door. Good thing because this guy over here is a jerk!

Here he is again....working on getting and keeping things all clean.

He is absolutely in heaven here.

It took a little bit of effort to get all of the horses arranged and settled into their new surroundings, but it wasn't hard. There is power that goes to the barn that isn't working. That is one of the next things to check into on Bart's list. Melody would like to have a barn party this summer, so Bart is going to see what he can do to make it happen.

Here is Jason's lawnmower. He pulls it behind his excursion to mow the pastures (when they don't have horses around). Well, he broke it. And, Jason will admit that he isn't much of a handyman. So, Bart went with him to Home Depot to rent a welder so that they could fix it. Bart fixed it, then let Jason practice with it, since he had never really welded before.
