Warning: Read this Before you Buy Chickens for Your Kids

Very, very long time readers will remember that once upon a time, I had chickens. They were mentioned a lot, I even wrote down the history of their colony, admittedly, I did exaggerate slightly.ย  Reading over that again, I really have no idea why I wrote that, but what's done is done. Chickens a[...]

One Year of Blogging!

Wordpress tells me I have now been blogging for one year (as of yesterday). Hurrahs all around! When I started this blog, I wasn't really sure of what I wanted to do, I just wanted to write. I thought it might end up being an "Outfit of the Day" type deal, because I love looking at those kinds of[...]

Berry, the Weirdo

After a tiringย few weeks, I'm feeling much better. I even rode Vintage! In an effort to make taking care of my horses easier, I let them in the my backyard, so they are literally only steps away. But, because I own a Weirdo Horse (TM), it turns out this does not make everything/anything easi[...]

We Found a Chick

A few days ago, I was walking down to the barn when my husband started calling me over to the chicken coop, saying there was a chick in the coop. I didn't believe him, as he frequently says things like that to mess with me. I went to the coop, and sure enough, there was a little chick in there.[...]

Stu is at his new barn. This was his first ride with the new trainer. I think he's a bit confused about what's going on, it's a big change for him. He's not used to being stalled and he lost all his old herdmates ๐Ÿ˜ญ poor guy! But his ride went well, so well that she took him on a trail ride after to cool him off, something I've never done. She's a braver woman than I, but really that's a good thing ๐Ÿ˜‚

Great day at @middleburgspringraces ! 

@thetravelingrider were trying to coordinate our outfits, we were going for: "Modern Ascot Scene in My Fair Lady." How do you think we did?

I was trying to completely make my daughter and I's outfits, but I ran out of time and couldn't finish my own dress. I made Bridgette's dress and both of our hats. As a beginner, I'm pretty happy with how they came out! Just look how elegant my daughter is as she rummages through the cheese. 

The kids liked watching the horses in the paddock, which are apparently more impressive than the horses we already own ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe they will be thoroughbred lovers. They also ran in the stick horse race, but two horses baulked so only Bridgette actually completed the race. That didn't stop the boys from weaseling their way into the winners circle photos though! 

We also had an unexpected bonus to this trip. We visited @rescuepetconnect and there was a beautiful little dog that could have been my beloved Paxton's double. I literally cried when I saw her There was no way we could walk away, we adopted her immediately. She's been absolutely wonderful and we are so happy to have her join the family! @rescuepetconnect is a great adoption service and was wonderful to work with. I highly recommend anyone looking for a furry family member to check them out. 

This was long, but I'm just so full of emotions! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน
