Wal-Mart......Here we come!!!

The "View Crew" have "left the Heavenly building"!!  That's right...the gang is making their way down to your local Earthly Wal-Mart and since I'm going along to chaperone, I know for sure that I'll have my Heavenly hands full!!  The gang is due to return to Heaven's Gate Farm on your Earthly Tuesday, so I'll report on all their shenanigans on your Earthly Wednesday!!  Remember....if any of you happen to be at your local Earthly Wal-Mart and you see something "odd", it could  very well be one of the "View Crew"!!!!

Till Wednesday everyone!!  Have a great Earthly weekend!!

The Painted Pony, er ah, Ponies!!

Here's a "head scratcher" quiz for everyone.......What happens when you combine tonnes of Heavenly paint (for Easter Egg decorating), a Pottery Barn FULL of Heavenly animals, and then sprinkle into that mix about a hundred giant plastic water gun cannons???  The answer.........A MESS!!!!  That's right.....seems like the Heavenly Easter Egg decorating task is getting completely out of Heavenly hand, er ah, hoof, since some "genius" or "geniuses" (we're not sure who, but we have our suspicions!), decided to start putting the paint into those giant water cannons, instead of on their paint brushes!!  You all are familiar with those kids toys, right?  The cannons that you have to "pump" the bottom before it'll start shooting a massive flow of water equivalent to your Earthly Niagara Falls at you??!!  Ya...those!!!!  Needless to say, after peeking in on everyone, I decided to retreat and retrieve my Heavenly "Maid of the Mist" cloak in order to regain control of this "out of control" Heavenly situation!!  On my way back though, about four Heavenly equines, namely, Secretariat, Affirmed, Alydar, and Swaps, blew by me looking more like the Partridge Family bus rather than their handsome selves!!  YIKES!!!  I had to "tuck and roll" into the front door of the Heavenly Pottery Barn and head for cover as a rainbow of Heavenly paint beamed across the air heading RIGHT for me!!!  COME ON!!  SERIOUSLY!!  I don't remember reading this in my Heavenly job description!!!!  A "slew" of Heavenly laughter ensued, and as I pulled down my Heavenly face shield (Yes, I put on a mask with a face shield....you didn't think I'd go in here unprotected did ya??), I could feel the out of control beam of paint reach it's destination.....and that destination would be directly on my Angel wings!!  SPLAT!!!  Now, you know me, as the Heavenly Farm Manager, I'm all for having some Heavenly fun, but when I see your undefeated Earthly Triple Crown winner (that would be your beloved Seattle Slew), with a Heavenly forelock and mane FULL of PINK, PURPLE, and MAUVE paint......well, something's gotta give!!!  Oh...wait.....I can see Ruffian tucked neatly in the corner of the Pottery Barn with some other Heavenly equine ladies......From what I can see (because my Heavenly face shield is now spattered with paint), Eight Belles, Go For Wand, Flawlessly (Affirmed's daughter) and Shenanigans (Ruffian's "mom") are with her......and while they are not participating in the "paint fiasco", they ARE doing something productive......THEIR NAILS.....er ah, HOOVES...!!  Yep, that's right....there's always time to polish up those pretty Heavenly hooves...and leave it to Miss Ruffian to have the pinkish of pink hoof polish on while she quietly chats away with the ladies discussing tiaras, the latest Jimmy Choo designs, and how much Heavenly luggage she's going to bring the next time the "View Crew" decides to visit your Earth !!!  What the heck happened to having a relaxing day painting some Heavenly Easter Eggs???!!!!  OK, wait a Heavenly minute here.......WHO had the bright idea to paint Northern Dancer to look like an unsolved Rubik's Cube?????  I'll bet it was our "face painter extraordinaire" Native Dancer!!!  It actually looks pretty cool, but I'm not sure if Northern Dancer's Earthly owners, Windfield Farms, would think the same!!

Well, I have come to the conclusion that I will exit this "mess" with the hopes that at least a FEW Heavenly Easter Eggs end up getting painted.......If not, then at least fun was had by all.....and as I retreat backwards out of the Pottery Barn door, I am pummeled with a barrage of turquoise/blue/green plume of paint!!  Hey, at least it's a pretty color!!!!
