It finally stopped snowing. Hurrahs are in order. Friday afternoon Saturday There was lots and lots of snow, and lots and lots of wind. Dave and I dug lots of paths, but after realizing how far away my barn is from my house, I decided it was easier to just struggle through the snow. I […]
Lackluster 2015 Overview
I figured I should probably make a year end review, but I’m such a boring person, there’s not a whole lot to say. I made some goals this year. In retrospect, I set the bar pretty low. And even then, I failed to succeed at many of them. I took hunter lessons. All I committed myself […]
My Daily Horse Care Routine
Maybe you have or had parents that would respond to your pleas of horses with “Do you have any idea how much care they take?!” I don’t think many of them actually know though, other than the generic “You’ll have to shovel poop!” (the horrors!) I don’t find my horses had to take care of. It’s […]
Random Things
My dress came in, and it is better than I expected. The material is really heavy and just beautiful. It’s so pretty! With Poffins sitting on my dress and me laying out on the floor, I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to get this dress dry cleaned before I even wear it. I’ve now […]

Frozen Weekend
It snowed over the weekend. So naturally, we were the terrible neighbors that ruined everyone’s peaceful snow day. Dave just got a second ATV. We had to take it out. We had a grand adventure! For about 20 minutes anyway… But as it turns out, while these helmets might protect our head in the event […]

Berry gets colicky.
More on Chickens
Even though Chick Days is approaching, I ordered chicks online. They will be arriving on June 8th. The wait is agony! I order my chicks from mypetchicken.com. It is the only place I have ever ordered from, and I’ve been very happy with them, so I don’t see a reason to try anyplace new. Although […]
Almost Chick Days!
This bitter cold weather makes me think of one thing. It’s almost Chick Days!! Chick Days is a period of time in late winter/early spring where Tractor Supply sells chicks. I love going there and checking them out. I wish I could take them all home because they are so darn cute. Our oldest chicken […]
