Duck Egg

We are getting fresh eggs now and we got a duck egg in the batch. Rob cooked it and it was about the size of a dinner plate (as you can see). He said it was good, but not delicious!

Chrismas in Pennsylvania

Mom and I spent Christmas in Pennsylvania with Jami and Travis. Brandi and Tim came too and we all had so much fun. We wanted to share some pictures and highlights from the trip.Jami made us stockings

Elsa just loved me and the feeling was mutual. :)
Cute girls
The Museum was phenomenal and I loved it. Here I am with a Thomas Moran.
One of my idols, Jacques Louis David. This is a later David, when he was the court painter for Napoleon.
A true revelation seeing Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' work in real life.
Rockey
I also have to say that one of my personal highlights was the cheesecake that I got at the Reading Terminal Market. It was sheer bliss and I have not been able to reduplicate the euphoria with any other cheesecake here yet, but we're shooting for it. :)

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here at home with the usual array of fantastic food. Mom wanted me to take a picture of some of her pies for Jami.
We also broke Shine to lead and she was vary receptive. She's promising to be a smart little filly.

Go See

It was wonderful. It's in Mom's favorite top ten and my top five.
It was wonderful. Great movie.

100th post!

Mom and I just took a road trip with Aunt Debbie up to Huntington to see family and Trent's reception. The drive went much faster because of a fantastic book by Christopher Paul Curtis BUD, NOT BUDDY. In addition to goodreads I had to blog my personal five star. It was fantastic. Mom and Aunt Debbie would agree with me I'm sure. A side splitting personality rolled into a poignant theme.

New Addition

Introducing our new foal! Spark foaled on Sunday and brought us this beautiful filly.

Day one with Momma. I'm glad she's now getting more than enough milk and you can hardly see her ribs.

She loves to plop down by momma and lay almost on her back. Its so funny.

One of my favorite things is to watch her tail go crazy when she nurses, or the froth of milk on her lips after. We're blessed nothing went wrong and are so grateful to have her here.
