Rainy and Windy Days...

We have had both rain and 60 MPH winds the past few days...

Here are some pics of the days, enjoy!

On Saturday, the 50-60 MPH winds knocked down two of our old shelters in Assisted Living. Thankfully, no horses were hurt but it was very scary for all of us trying to get the shelters picked up and stored safely. The wind can pick the very heavy shelters right up and into the air!
The second shelter...
The commotion got the boarder horses all riled up in their adjoining pasture!
Alydar, one of our goats, found shelter from the wind and blowing dirt in one of Assisted Living's feeders...The next morning, the dog office and the Cherry Pie's patio was completely buried in blown dirt!
Some of our hardworking volunteers cleaned it up...
On Sunday, we were able to use the new big tractor to lay some donated sod...
Derby, exhausted by the last few day's activities, took a nap on the new sod...

Finally Some Photos!

I have been swamped the past few weeks and found it difficult to find the time to post on the blog. Not only do I run Shiloh, and all that entails, but I also run my late husband Tony's business as well. My business partner and I are working hard on licensing Tony's artwork, something that Tony worked for as well. I am continuing the business and it has been taking up alot of time. It is a way that I can honor Tony and his artwork as well as support all of the animals at Shiloh.

I am also scheduled for major back surgery next weds (I had been scheduled for yesterday but it was postponed at the last minute).

So needless to say, my life is very busy (but isn't everyones?).

But, I finally took some photos today at the ranch and here they are! Enjoy!

Yep is doing better. We actually moved her into the Gummie Saloon today so she can make friends and live in a herd which is good for her quality of life...

Good news as Icey Isungur was adopted to a Las Vegas family where he will be spoiled by young horse loving children!
