Look at these two beauties!

 

Buliding a new chicken coop!

 

Tinker runs through a barbed wire fence...

I knew the barbed wire fence was a problem... I was literally gathering supplies to fix the fences when Tinker got spooked about something and ran through the barbed wire fence.  I was shocked!  I happy she didn't get more injured than she did.  We took her to the vet and he stitched her back together and put in a drain to drain the fluid from the large wound on her knee.  She will be on barn rest for 14 days with daily bandage changes.  I'm hoping that she will heal well! 
 

4h horse camping trip at Quinn Meadows near Bend!

After a very hectic and busy move we left to go on a previously planned horse camping trip with our 4h group.  It was nice to get away from the chaos of moving and enjoy our 6 horses.  The horses were troopers, especially considering all the changes they just went through.  7 days prior to this trip they were in familiar pastures in Ashland... then a 5 hour trip through winding mountain roads and thrown into large pastures that were completely unfamiliar to them.  4 days later they were loaded back up into the trailers and stuck in 12x12 corrals and trail riding.  Reba had a few rough moments, but overall all the horses were great! 
 

Moving Day! (August 29th!)

                                  The 5 car caravan!  4 trucks, all with trailers, and one 26' moving truck!

                                                     Lucy's little friend on our trip to Sisters!

                                         The sellers left me beautiful sunflowers... my favorite!

                                                                Happy horses in the pasture!

 Well, we did it!  We sold our home on July 6th and bought a new home on August 27th!  The last few months have been absolutely so busy!  Our home on Neil Creek Road sold in 5 days.  Chris and I were absolutely surprised!  Escrow went relatively well, but there were so many changes that happened.  We were supposed to close late July and keep possession of the house until October.  That plan changed and then we were supposed to be move out towards the end of July... then that plan changed and we were supposed to move out on July 8th!  Keep in mind that the 1st two weeks of July were also Maddie's 18th birthday AND horse fair week!  WOW!  We ended up moving into the shop/apartment that we built for the next 7 weeks.  We ended up finding a beautiful home in Sisters, Oregon and made the 1st big move on August 29th! Chris and I made so many more trips, but on September 11th we were officially moved out of the Neil Creek house.  We have many projects to keep us busy at the new house, but.... we are so excited to be living here!
