~And The Year Begins Again~

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Yesterday was the shortest day of the year….. …..the Winter Solstice….. It’s just about pitch black by 5:00pm every evening now….. Awhile ago we started this relaxed annual tradition of having a bonfire on the Winter Solstice….. …..and we’ve had one ever since…kind of on-again…off-again…but semi-planned…nonetheless….. It’s fun…it’s pleasant…it’s relaxing….. The Infamous Big Purple Cups are involved…along with mediocre bourbon and cheap wine coolers…(good hang-over material)….. …..junk food…S’mores…cookies….. …..you know…a healthy meal….. Weather-willing…lawn…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I like dog fennel…I suppose that’s weird…it is a weed after all….. But I like how it smells….. …..and that’s just as well…because we currently have so much of it flourishing in our front yard….. With my recent health-hiccups (along with that heinous PTO attachment)…there hasn’t been a lot of mowing going on….. …..I’d be exhausted just trying to hook up the stupid thing to the tractor….. …..(I need to invent some tool…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** ***Summer Sores*** They’re just another of the many things to watch out for during the hot/humid months here in soggy Florida….. But this story has a positive/happy theme….. Summer Sores are yucky…(What’s a Summer Sore, You Ask?)….. Anja’s a cutie pie…she moved down here from the North…I think she was born in one of the Dakota’s…and she was transported down from her family farm in Minnesota….. But with a lot of the transplanted…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Not only was it Mani-Pedi time…but we were also over-due for hoof trims….. On the plus-side Claire was the best I’d ever witnessed her at picking up her feet for our blacksmith Montana….. Claire’s not fractious…or vicious…or mean in her dissent….. …..she’s just a pro at locking her leg joints and turning them into cement-support pillars….. She totally refuses to lift her feet….. Perhaps her compliance this time…might have been because the lock…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I understand Anja’s dilemma….. She could survive on air alone….. We’re trying to reduce her princess-pony-zaftig-ness….. Anja does enjoy her meals….. Where Claire needs all the calories we can spackle on her….. Anja requires a minimalist chef….. You know sometimes when you look at someone every day…you don’t realize when they’re changing…..?….. …..and then for some reason there’s a flashbulb realization that things have changed right under your nose…..?….. I recently had one…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Summer humidity is here in grande/soggy fashion….. There’s a green hue to the air because of all of the suspended mold….. Inhalations can be a challenge…..it’s more like gargling algae….. …..(something tells me that Florida’s Board of Tourism wouldn’t want me as their spokesperson)….. But with the thick/wet/hot air comes the sweating….. I was told my Grandmother would say….. —–Horses Sweat…..Men Perspire…..and Women Glisten—– …..(I must be a horse then)….. …..and with the…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** I’m not actually sure if we did have a hard freeze here….. I think there’s some sort of meteorological formula for the temperature getting down to below freezing for a set amount of time to be considered a “hard freeze”….. I know it got down to below 32F degrees the other night…..but I’m not sure how long it lasted….. I also…

This is on the heels of the entirety of our goat herd walking out of their pasture….. What’s happened is….. …..WE HAVE CRAP FENCING!….. …..(and I don’t want to talk about it)….. …..it’s a long long story….. …..with a lot of heated expletives….. However…..here’s the skinny on the saga……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** I “think” we’re making headway with Claire’s hooves….. But when my vet doesn’t know…..and my blacksmith doesn’t either?…. …..then who am I to guess…..(?)….. Remember that weird semi-soft-semi-turgid-lumpy-thing that appeared on the outside of Claire’s hind right hoof? My blacksmith didn’t want to touch it…..he wanted me to show it to my vet….. I showed it to Doctor Stevie Wonder…..he said…
