Horses in the snow!
Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, filled with family and delicious food! I'm now at 27 weeks pregnant. The final week of the second trimester. Next week, 28 weeks, will start the third trimester homestretch. It feels like this pregnancy has gone at light speed. In the beginning, it seemed like it would nev[...]
I've had big barn plans in the past, but I've since scaled back my more elaborate ideas. A couple of factors play into this - the time required, the cost, and considering resale value down the road. If I built something more elaborate, chances are I would never get my money back. So, the new plan! I've started by moving[...]
Big news in our world! The baby is in the factory, continuing to get bigger and stronger, but to double check on that, I had my anatomy scan to ensure all the parts were there. After all, we don't want any surprises! The anatomy scan is typically done right around the 20 week mark. They check all the vital organs to ensure everyt[...]
This has been the wettest year I can remember. Certainly, the wettest year since we bought this farm. We would get weeks of rain, one week of sun, and more weeks of rain. All that rain amounted to so much mud. More mud than I've dealt with. My normal mud control is to scrape it out once a year. My barn, where the mud is the[...]
You already knew that I wasn't dead, so me being alive isn't the big deal (although, in a way, it's a pretty big deal for me.) Instead, this is a different life changing event, although it is actually related to why I have been MIA for a while now. For you see... I am pregnant! 19 weeks along now! While I am excited, it[...]
It's been almost three months since my last post. My god, where has the time went?! At first it was time. And then it was exhaustion. And then when it wasn't my routine anymore, I just forgot about it... To get everyone all caught up, here's the high level of things that happened over the last (almost) three months. 1. I got Lyme[...]
My little Stubert is officially a yearling now! My little boy is growing up! Technically his birthday was June 4th, but it's never to late to celebrate! So what has little Stubert been doing? Well, I'm glad you asked! He's gone on solo walks around the property, getting a bit excited and light footed, but learned to rel[...]
I have wanted to see Biltmore since I found out it existed, and we finally made the trip down. We stayed in Asheville, which is a bit too hippie-ish for my liking, but Biltmore was pretty amazing. The area has been getting a lot of rain recently, and when we first arrived, the driveway to Biltmore was completely flooded out. We had to go[...]
Happy Monday everyone! The rain finally stopped in Virginia (for now), the animals are doing good, and I'm really excited about an upcoming trip. I've gotten out of the practice of updating, but I'm going to try to get on a regular schedule again. I'm thinking like Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The pressure is on! I hope you like foal pho[...]
