Mini Forge

so, I was told that the pictures are unviewable. I tried to fix it, so comment and tell me if it worked please!!



tonight Lawson, Landon and I tried out our little mini coal forge that we made. (Mostly Landon made it though) He even made a set of mini tongs (only about 4 inches long) and a hammer. It's mostly for the horseshoe nail hooks that I make to put on my woodburned art. But tonight we made a mini knife only about an inch long. it's adorable!!

LIFE

I really haven't been posting much lately... so I'll try to make up for it in this post.

on Friday we got the cows in and gave 'em shots and pour-on. I didn't get any pictures :( :( :( :(
I ran the headgate and endgate of the chute.(so that means I opened the tailgate for a calf or cow, and when they'd come in I'd shut it real fast so another one wouldn't come in and squash it. then after it got pour-on and (if it were a calf) a shot i'd let it out. Dad did the shots and Landon did the pour-on and we had a friend get them in from the corral behind the barn. he kept growling a the cows to scare them, it was the funniest thing.  we got all of them done that SAME day before the snow came. their was still some stragglers so we went riding to get them. the horses were really frisky because it was windy and cold. that made it more of an adventure though.


also Lawson had his eighth birthday not long ago. my cousin and I made him a chocolate cake (it was really good, but we didn't have powdered sugar for the frosting so it wasn't the right texture because I just blended crystal sugar in the Magic Bullet. haha...) and mom and him filled a pinyata with toys and candy. the only thing that day lacked was balloons. haha we had some we just forgot.












these two are just the cutest pair :)

















law and I went riding before the snow. it was sooo much fun. we set up jumps in the arena and Nala (Lawson's palomino that  I'm training for him) just loved it. she's got such smooth gaits I love it. just perfect for a little rider like Lawson. then I asked him if he wanted to go check on the cows in the pasture and he said, "well, whatever you decide determines what we'll do." lol!






I've also been woodburning. and knitting presents for people. (Because if I make Christmas presents now, they won't suspect anything. ;) )

Larissa made this dirty chai for me. it was SOO. good.




I love my watch. :) and my married (and now pregnant!!! yay I'm so excited!!!Guys, I finally get to be an aunt! I guess its gonna be a boy. but I'm not sure. the only sad thing is that they live 9 hours away AND in a different country) sister brought that cowrie shell home from her recent mission trip and made it into a bracelet for me. <3

❄️SNOW❄️

This morning it snowed big, fluffy white flakes! I'm sorta surprised 😳
 I wanted to horse around more before it got slippery. Oh well. At least we have a cozy barn. In the winter I don't train my horse as much as I sit on her or brush her out, and I feel like we bond a lot more. So I think this winter will be pretty fun even if I won't  be riding and roping and galloping.

Alice's questions for me:

Favorite Fall activity? That ones easy. Making Lefse for Thanksgiving!!! Sweater or Hoodie? Hoodie. For sure. They seem so much more cozy. Who cares if their hair gets messed up???

Hot Cocoa or Pumpkin spice coffee? Oooohhhh. Pumpkin spice. Alll the way😋
Favorite Fall color? Ummm, I like all of the different leaf colors put together the best, but If I had to single out just one, it would probably be orange. Because that would look the best by itself.
Rather waKe up early for the sunrise, or stay up for the stars? 

Wake up early.For two reasons.1: because sunrises are prettier, and 2: I get 


really tired when I try to stay up late.





Are you looking forward to Thanksgiving or Christmas the most 
right now? thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday!!


What is one of your favorite Fall traditions? Same as the first question. I love lefse!!!😋😋😋 Thanks again for tagging me Alice!! You had some really good questions!!

Here are my questions for you:

Would you like a windy or rainy autumn better? 

Pumpkin spice, coffee or chai latte?

Stay inside with a warm cozy drink on your sofa, of go outside on an adventure and 

freeze half to death?

Would you rather be the one up in the tree shaking down the leaves, or the one raking 

them up?

 What is the craziest thing that you remember doing in autumn?

Favorite color of autumn  leaf?

FALL 🍃🍂

Right now your reading my fiftieth post. YAY!! Well, actually that's not very many posts considering ho long I've had this blog...😬😬😬


It's officially been autumn for a little while now. I definitely don't like the weather, or the terrible horrible thing called weaning season that happens to all the calves. Some even sit and try to die cause they're so depressed. And there's mooing 24/7 for a few days.

But other than that, I like riding in the wind and cold bareback. Yeah, it's freezing, but I love the adventure of it. And the thought of a chai latte when I get in is enough to make me do anything.

I also like thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday of all time. Why?  I have two reasons. The FOOD, and all the heroic stories of the men who trusted God to make America free.

And I also like:

☕️ Chai lattes☕️😋😋 (and coffee, too)

Furry socks

 

My knitting basket

My favorite yellow sweater 

Fuzzy blankets 

Chorus' 5th Ride

Yesterday I rode Chorus on a ride for the first time!! I've sat on her the yard bareback while she's eating, and also ive been riding her in the arena and teaching her what different signals are and stuff, but yesterday my cousin helped me get the last buck out of her and finish teaching her how to flex. and then I  decided  to take her out for a ride. She did sooo good! when I cantered she didn't even buck and she was so calm the WHOLE time yet she wasn't lazy. its such a good feeling having pure success at your fingertips.

Here are a few pictures:
