Spring Hodgepodge

Spring sure is flying by! June is already upon us, and Mother Nature has been ringing it in with multiple rounds of thunderstorms. 

I rung in the new month with some livery stalking! No, we have not been able to part with Sandstorm or Mr. Devoted Disciple. (M.D.D. really needs a real name, poor guy.) In anticipation of keeping one or both, I've been looking only at the mares in the livery. Aren't I so helpful? Check out this beauty I found this afternoon!

Whoa, +93! I sure didn't have to twist Lily's arm for approval to adopt her. =)

Flaxen chestnuts are so pretty! <3

She's the same height as Julie's Racking Horse mare, Xia.

Yoshi, my Racking Horse stallion, is an inch shorter than them both. XD

Now we have a tobiano RH, a sabino RH, and a solid-colored RH. What great variety!

That's the end of our HI2 news for the moment, but before we totally move on from May, let's backtrack again to Mom's birthday and take a look at her gifts.

As you can see, they included:

- a hairbrush. Talk about thrilling! XD

- audiobooks. They make long drives much more enjoyable.

- fun socks: 3 pairs with birds on them that came in an awesome sock box and a pair with horses on them

- horse and dog towels (because why have boring bath towels when you can have fun beach towels instead?)

- barnyard-themed puzzle

- Christopher Robin DVD (We all really like this one for obvious reasons.)

- 3 classic-sized Breyer horses and 2 riders. Mom loves all of these horse molds.

We dolls got new pants!

They fit us alright and are very comfortable. They vary a bit in length, though, and all of them are awkwardly short. Oh well, capris are great for this time of year. XD

Here we are each trying out a pair:

I will leave you with snapshots of what we were watching while we were sitting on that couch.

The show is Longmire, usually a pretty serious fictitious series about a Wyoming sheriff who investigates murder cases. (Felicity's choice, not mine, but there are often nice horses in it.) Closed captions were on so we don't miss any indistinct dialogue, and we just happened to pause it at these particular places.

Mmm, canned sandwich.

Ha ha, I feel this way about all coffee.

That's it for now! Happy June, everybody!
