Happy New Year

Already it's 2013 and new projects are on the horizon. This morning the blanket bars were attached to all of the stall doors, and the wall blanket hanger was hung, so now the barn looks so much better. I also talked with Jason Travis and he is going to get me an estimate on tearing down the old chicken coop that once served as Nancy's run-in. It's pretty well falling apart and needs to come down. Andy and I just got back from Las Vegas and what a place! It made me so grateful to have Laughing Fox Farm, our heaven on earth. Bill Kenner took this photo of Maestro and me hunting a week or so ago. I don't think I enjoy hunting at all - HA!

There is not a lot happening her during the winter which is usual for a farm. Stay tuned for more posts as it warms. Happy New Year and stay warm!

Well, I couldn't stay away from hunting. After much searching, and actually giving up on finding my next hunter, I had sold a lot of my kit, and then I happened upon Maestro. He was introduced to me by his owners Judy and Karen. He needed a new owner who would hunt him and love him like the gentleman he is. I picked him up this past Monday, and he is fitting in very well. His real name ought to be Cool Hand Luke, he is laid back, but doesn't' take much from the alpha, Derby. I hope to have and hunt him for a long time to come. Welcome to LFF, Maestro!

In the meantime, Cappuccino's original owner wants him home and that works perfectly for me. So tomorrow he will be picked up and taken back to Monticello, FL. He has been a jewel and will be just the perfect pony to teach the children whom Cathy Taber will teach with him! Thank you, Cap for being my summer riding partner.

This is our newest foster, Lemondrop!! She is a terrier mixed with who-knows-what? She is adorable and can be adopted through Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue and searching for "Adelaide". We love her and she is Miss Personality!

Maury County Historical Society Preservation Award September 16, 2012

Today Andy and I were honored with receiving the Maury County Historical Society Preservation Award for Residential dwellings. The plaque is beautiful and will be hung on the house. It weighs a ton! very beautiful. Thank you, Kathie Fuston for nominating our home for this honor and to Greg Martin for presenting us with the award.

The Soybean Field and the Road to Our Home September 2, 2012

The soybean field shown in the first photo has done well in spite of the drought. They are starting to yellow which is expected at this time of the year as the beans grow and develop. The second photo is the road on which we live that leads to our house. I like the trees over the road, the fencing and the fields. A nice way to travel.

Winner of the 2012 Maury County Preservation Award for Residential Structures

Maury County has always had a strong sense of history, and historical preservation has been a big part of that history. Our home has been honored by winning the 2012 Maury County Preservation Award in the Residential category. The awards ceremony was held on September 16 where the pictured bronze plaque was given to us. Thank you Kathie Fuston and the Maury County Historical Society for this award.

Andy and I fostered two puppies who were, believe it or not, litter mates for Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue. We had so much fun with them, and here are their photos with their new owners. Quail, now Sugar, was adopted by Carla Chamberlain and Quilt, the black and tan, now Stella was adopted by the McIntyre family and is shown with her new "siblings". It was a joy to foster these precious little female pups. And goodness knows we have the room!!:)
