No Tar No Feathers

First official boarder's meeting here at Kindred Acres Farm. I am happy to report I was not tarred and feathered by an angry crowd!  It was a lot of fun and the meeting was chaired by William and Emmie the barn cat who made a motion to eat the desert Shirley brought and we all second it before she broke into it and ate it all herself. 

The herd was happy getting out to pasture and is eating enough.  Weight watchers called today for Echo but he wouldn't come to the phone. Seems he is growing a dimple on his butt from the good eats and it is time to think about his girlish figure.

Everyone was a bit feisty coming in this evening with the new coolness and they knew they had pellets waiting for them.  I think the flies are on their way out and I am glad to see them go.

I feel like I am coming down with a cold or something. Hopefully, it will pass as I have too much to do to get sick.  

Everyone took a turn sitting on Big Red today. I think it will be interesting to learn to shift gears again and I hope I don't freeze or panic and run over a vehicle or something. Apparently the breaks work I just need to remember where they are with all the pedals and gadgets. I think I'll have to put some stickers on everything so I will be able to figure it out when I am actually driving.  Too bad it doesn't have training wheels or we don't have drivers ed for tractors. Look out world here we come!
