How windy was it?
It was so windy that all seven outdoor family members took shelter on the leeward side of the barn
and I got them in the same picture.
It was so windy that George and Alan had to entertain themselves with whatever toys they could find.
It was so windy that I gave in to their demands, served supper a little early,
and ran back in the house to fire up the woodstove, clean the camera, apply more chapstick,
and drink wine...and not necessarily in that order.
I love the picture of all 7 family members, and it looks like the boys will be boys, no matter what.
ReplyDeleteWinds are coming my way today ... hold onto my hat!
"...George and Alan had to entertain themselves with whatever toys they could find."

When do they NOT
...entertain themselves?
....find toys? :-P
The first photo of handsome Hank looks like the background is a mural or something.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course the burro brothers would find something fun to do. They each are a party in a burro costume!
Great group shot. They're all adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe wind was ferocious, wasn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYou even got all of the girls in the shot! That's pretty incredible! Love that pic of Hank - he is so handsome. And you know I love George & Alan - totally!
ReplyDeleteI love George and Alan too. They're so funny!! Love watching them play. My jack has a jollyball that he's constantly teasing the big horses with.
ReplyDeleteMercy loves them too, I had to tell her which is which. She thinks they're silly.
Your ferocious winds are at my house today. Thanks a lot!

I knew there was a reason your blog is the first I check every morning. Love the photos, and the handy tips.
ReplyDelete(i.e., the chapstick, wine, and woodstove)
My kinda girl!
Woodstove would be first here! (Closely followed by wine...) Bored burros make good photo ops.
ReplyDeleteChapstick first, always first and then the wine. Gives your lips a provocative "come hither" look. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your family photo! And sitting by the woodstove with a glass of wine sounds like a lovely way to spend the evening!
ReplyDeleteWell it's nice that they can get out of the wind. I always feel bad when I see animals that can't get any relief.

My least favourite weather system is wind. I used to suffer severe earaches as a child from the wind and have never really warmed up to it. My second least favourite weather system is...well...there's currently a battle going on for 2nd place between snow & rain. I'll let you know how that goes.
ReplyDeleteAwesome photos!
ReplyDeleteI just want to squeeeeezzzzzeeee those two!
ReplyDeleteIt's just nearly impossible to get everyone together for a family photo isn't it? Glad you caught this one!
ReplyDeleteFess up now ... How many shots did you shoot to get one of all the "kids" where nobody's head was hidden by somebody else's butt ?
ReplyDeleteThe "outdoor family" portrait is very nicely composed too with the guys & gals on the edges facing outward and the one in the centre looking at the camera. Well done !
If you come across a reciept for gas from Shell station in Canyon Lake, let me know. Last I looked it was heading for the middle of nowhere so maybe...
ReplyDeleteGlad they've got the sense to get in out of the wind!
How fun that they're all in the same photo! I think Alan is telling you that he needs a new traffic cone. :)
ReplyDeleteYikes, no post yet today! I wonder if she got blown away. Say it isn't so!
ReplyDeletelooks yucky in that first shot!
ReplyDeleteBut wine and a woodstove sounds great!
Hey...where'd you go? :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen a person posts every single day, their readers get worried if they suddenly stop...
Everything ok?
that top photo is classic and quite wistful!
ReplyDeletellovely
Hmmm, I have a real funny feeling that a new member of the family is about to be introduced?
ReplyDeleteThe tension is nearly unburroable !!!!!
Love the group photo! And I also love the December snow photo - brrrr!!!
