Celebrating Lujen!

February is big love celebration month at Cheyne Ranch. It all starts with Lujen! His 22nd birthday and his 2nd anniversary of living at Cheyne Ranch both happen this month! We Love you Lujen!

Hand-washing station

I made this! This was one of those Pinterest inspired projects, I thought - I can do that! I started the project right - I asked someone much smarter than me to help me plan (thank you Stephanie), she drew me a diagram. Then I thought, this will be a $20 project because I have the barrel! and some left-over PVC pipe!

In the end, it cost around $100, it took a whole bunch of banging head against keyboard moments, and approximately 14 trips to Home Depot. I switched to copper pipe for some reason? And, in true form, I didn’t exactly finish it. I think it needs to be topped off with some prettier rock, or even some flowers? And the faucet is kinda spray-ey. I’m just thrilled we have a place to wash our hands near the playground.

Handsome boys

We have such beautiful sunsets, the entire sky turns a million shades of pink. While I was giving some guests a tour, we saw the incredible sky while Evan cleaned the run out and spent some time with Lujen. Such handsome boys

Our herd of horses

Have you ever tried getting all of your children, or dogs or cats or whatever all in the same photo? This is the closest I can get with all 5 horses... Princess Buttercup, Pearl, Lucy & Nelson all waiting for Lujen to return from his walk.
