I'm really intrigued by Flickers. My good friend started
bird watching because of flickers visiting her yard. It really
is amazing how big they are. I hope to keep the pair we have
around our yard and I want to try and create a feeder
for them this summer.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas with their friends and family.
Meet the new family member! This is Hopper. We just adopted him yesterday, so far he is an amazing dog. He is house trained, crate trained, leash trained, gets along great with the cat and is a complete sweet heart. It is amazing what you can get from a pound puppy. Hard to believe he came into the shelter as a stray. Someone spent some time with him, or he is just a great mellow dog with a tail that never stops.
Snapped this photo of a little guy at practice behind us at the soccer game. There were some awfully cute kids and some awfully big kids for little league.

The youngest riding competitor at I think 22 months. Baby T better start practicing.
The big move is coming too. We close on our house next Friday. I do plan on getting pictures of everything before we fill it with all our stuff. Look for them around the beginning of October. It's an exciting time.
Of course the fair also includes the fun races. One of the cutest by far is the Half Shetland pony races. It reminds me of my friend and I breaking out her little shetland pony, Sassy. The only reason she couldn't buck was that I could almost reach the ground with my legs :0)
This little pinto led the way until the little girl
The pony express races are by far the most exciting. The image below is after the first lap and the jockey is jumping off her first horse to vault on to her second horse standing by. It is one wild race and you never know what is going to happen.
In the 17 and under race on Saturday afternoon there was an accident while switching horses in the Pony express race. Although the image is small the jockey got caught underneath the hooves of one of his horses and had to be taken off the track by ambulance.
