Of Spring, Kittens, and Horse Shows

Spring is in the air, and along with a new season comes new life.  Our long-haired cat (named"kitty soft paws" after the cat in Puss in Boots) finally had her babies on Monday afternoon.  She had six, but one of them died soon after birth.  So, we now have five beautiful baby kittens (they have not opened their eyes yet; they probably won't until early next week).  Well, enough talk, on to the pictures:

Our garden

 These little weeds are everywhere!  Our friends, however, told us that they made Dandelion jelly and that it tasted like honey and was extremely good!  Another fun project....

Yay!  Our pasture is looking very nice...lucky horses :)

The raspberry bushes that we planted last year.

And the kittens!  4 dark ones, 1 orange one :)

Also, last Saturday, I went to my first horse show on Hope (I've done shows before, however, this was my first one on Hope).  It went terribly well :)  Hope was quiet and well mannered and loved her job.  In the end, we got five 1st place ribbons, one 3rd place ribbon, and 2 division championship ribbons.  It was a fun day!
