This Week Around The Ranch

We have a bobcat living somewhere on the property who found the chicken coop this week. The girls are good but I've had to change up their free ranging time and stay with them. No more afternoons out with the dogs... I'm pretty sure it has been stalking us for a while now but the confirmation was seeing the bob cat next to the coop at the time I usually have them out...scary!
Luna wanted in on the Christmas fun too. 
She and I went on a three hour trail ride with friends today and she did great.  We stopped for a break at this plateau that over looks my hood. 
Chancie and I got out a bit this week as well. I sure love the views over these ears...
This week I also spent some time in the garden. Pookie and I checking over the damaged plants we have from the hard freeze earlier in the week. We'll be singing songs and planting more seeds this weekend, we lost few. 
This week we've been enjoying more gorgeous sunsets as the passing storms continue to make them dramatic with their clouds weaved so beautifully into the colors.

Linking this last shot to Sky Watch Friday

Happy weekending peeps,
Jen

    Yikes about the bobcat! I'm glad everyone is ok, but that would have been such a scare. I love sweet Luna in the hat! I'm glad to hear she is doing well :)

    Nasty ole' bobcat. Too bad you couldn't just relocate him. :) Have a wonderful weekend even though you have a unwelcome "guest" around. :)

    I've missed catching up with you! It's so beautiful where you live, and how lucky you are to be a year-round gardener :) Love all the pics, but your Santa Horse steals my heart. Here in MO, we are covered by a blanket of snow this morning. So beautiful, but takes longer to do chores! Have a great weekend! -Tammy

    Oh, your pics make me so happy! However, that bobcat needs to find a new hobby! We've still got snow on the ground and there was BIG coyote walking the fence line today. Aargh.
