Mama finally popped and out came a very cute little filly. We thought she was going to go Saturday night so I gathered together my sleeping bag, pad and pillow and set up shop in the tack room with Kathy. We watched a couple of movies and when we went to check after the second movie Abby was down and pushing hard. It was a false alarm though. We slept really lightly jumping at every noise, but Abby decided to hold on to her baby a bit longer.
As I was pulling out of the driveway last night I got the call. Kathy told me her water had just broke and I had better hurry. I made it just in time with just the feet sticking out and within 10 minutes there was a new little filly on the ground. It was so amazing watching her try and figure things out. Her first little whinny was so cute. I plan on heading out Wednesday to get some more photos of her while she is a bit more steady and playing in the pasture.

One Big Momma...
And she's due in a month. I got the privilege to photograph a very pregnant horse today. She's due in another month for her fourth baby. I hope to make it to the birth as well, but with such an experienced momma it might be over by the time I get the camera out :0) It was quite a challenge trying to figure out how to get the best view of her big belly and still be able to tell what it is. You can see more photos from the day at http://www.flickr.com/photos/k-sphotos/

Spring has Sprung
While at the kitchen sink this morning I looked up to see my first flowers blooming! I was so excited I dropped everything and ran outside with my camera. I can't wait until everything is blooming so I can see where things are planted around here. I have had an invasion of bulbs in just about every open area and I'm sorry to say I'm going to have to rein some of them in and rip them out, but until then I can enjoy how pretty they will be. The garden and landscaping around the house are all a mystery since we moved in the fall. We ran into the previous owner and he said that it is about to get really beautiful, so that just makes me more giddy. I've never really had a garden, so it will be fun to experiment.
Other then finally having nice enough weather to venture outside, we've finished the living room and most of the entry. Although the entry way color is still on the iffy list. I think it will stay until I get a few opinions, but then it may leave. Don't worry pictures will be coming. If it weren't for the short time this morning I'd post all of that, but I have to leave you the edge of your seat just a bit.
Enjoy the day today!

Sun Mountain Scenery
We set off for a hike down one of the trails at Sun Mountain and soon Jill had a mission. We left the kids with Steve and kept going to each bend in the trail to find the Homestead. Jill had been to the little hut before and really wanted to find it again. I was happy to get out and hike with the camera. Also very happy to get some of the shots that I did. It is always refreshing to get good pictures after being cooped up all winter.

A little from Sun Mountain...
Finally! I got to some photo editing tonight and got some of the photos from Sun Mountain uploaded. There will be some more scenery photos to come as well as another update on how the house is coming along. We got quite a bit more done in the living room and there is more to come over spring break. Not to mention we got our new windows put in too.
I can't believe how busy things have been! Now spring is here and I'll want to get outside even more. Where am I going to find the time??
