I love photography. It's right up there next to my love of horses. Naturally, I combine the two whenever possible. I have been working at it for a while, and as I learn more, my photos are getting so much bettter. I've studied it, practiced, and followed others good advice, and it feels like there's still so much more to learn. I w[...]
Sometimes I have a busy week, and I get so much accomplished. I look back at what I've done with pride. Other weeks, I feel really busy, and then when I look back on what I've done, I can't really figure it out. I was definitely doing something... but what was it? Who knows. Maybe I'll figure it out. The Unstoppable Baby Monster[...]
Stubert is getting worked with just every other day now. Nothing excessive, just groundwork and manners. Things I would/should have been doing before if I wasn't pregnant, and then converted into baby life. But now I have the time, so it's a priority to turn him into the best possible young horse. To clarify a few things about him:[...]
I feel like I've been complaining about winter too much recently. It's cold, miserable, muddy, etc. This may come as a shock, but I actually don't hate winter. Really, I just like complaining. There are lots of nice things about winter that I can appreciate, especially since the pipes in my barn aren't frozen. Things like... It's Be[...]
I continue to try to combine the baby and the horses. One day I'm going to get this to work. I bundled up Bridgette, and took her outside once again. This time she understands more of what's going on, and I'm pretty sure she remembers the horses. She was pretty happy to see them. "Hello, horses!!" She was happy the whole time. She[...]
Stu was shy when I first met him. Being a little foal, he naturally wanted to be with his mother, and not with this stranger who showed up occasionally. He was still timid when he came to my farm and was overshadowed by the far more personable Ollie, who wanted to be best friends immediately. He started coming out of his sh[...]
As a nature lover, I believe we have an obligation to take the best care possible of our world. I don't mean this as a political thing, or a debate about climate change. I just love the natural beauty of the world, and I hate seeing it marred by trash and litter. A lot of the trash that exists today is a result of our lifestyles. Tha[...]
Everyone poops, but horses are particularly well known for their pooping. I've been stalling my horses at night for about a month, and this has caused a large side effect. My horses are no longer out all the time, pooping where they please, and instead are pooping in stalls that have to be cleaned daily. I have to take a more active[...]
It's been a while since I did one of these! Thanks for having me. Glad to be back. Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune Whew, that's a mouthful! I did say it's hard for me to relax/read much anymore, but I still do when I can, usually while laying in bed. This has[...]
So, wow, I've come to the exciting time of having a mobile baby. She's past the "lay there and look cute" stage, she's got a lengthy agenda of things to do, and no time to just sit around. She is constantly on the move. She just learned to crawl. As in, yesterday. She was taking little bitty crawl steps, and she actually still is, but be[...]
