Coffee anyone ?

Oh I’m sorry about Richie. He’s way too young for that. My 36 year old TWH mare has heaves so bad I haven’t ridden her in 10 years. I just let her hang out and eat. Not everyone can do that. In my current situation I was going to put her down, so glad DeeDee took her!
I really hope Richie gets some relief and can be used for light riding. If not you may have to make hard decisions. I’m here for you if you need me. I know that heartbreak.

Not good news for my horse Richie, it's arthritis due to the past laminitis. More challenges to keep him sound even for light trail riding.... pretty crushing as I was hoping to start some more fun things for him and I... dressage lessons and more challenging trails with the kids once the trailer gets its new floor. Which we have bought the wood finally. Sigh.... Anyways he's only 13 so hopefully we can get him comfortable without constant bute.

Well... that news is..... crappy.

Okay so my brain apparently has been so tired that even after noon it needs a nap. And not even that had me mentally aware of the fact i am 15-16 days way fron my due date.... my midwife came down with covid the day after whe came over. We been exposed multiple times before not to worried but still allergies need to take a hike so i know what going on with everyone. Have two other midwifes on call just incase so thats good. Kids are getting more and more excited about the baby i am getting more and more ready to be done. Gonna get the kids in for lunch in a minute then back to laundry and cleaning... i swear i would make a fortune if i was paid like a house keeper with how much i clean.

The joy and sleeplessness of a house of little ones!



I sure hope you all skip the covid, or get a super mild case.

Only 2 weeks! I’m praying hard for you and your family that Covid stays away. Please try to get some rest.

@promiseacres I'm so sorry about Richie! Have you tried/read about forage based diets? I've been doing a ton of research for bringing my 24yo gelding back home, and it seems like the best for laminitis/Cushing's/other foot issues. Here's the website that got me started thinking about it: https://www.hoofrehab.com/Diet.html

I hope you find a system that works for him either way!



I spent the day doing not much, despite a whole house to pack. (we're also recovering from mild covid here. Energy is hard to come by). But I managed to sort out cloth diapers between loans which need returned, stuff to sell, and the few we're still using. Baby steps right?

Up too early! But awake just the same....4:30 and still dark. Coffee working. Left 2 windows open in livingroom a couple inches for the cool air. 52 outside and brisk 67 inside. Yikes, a real wake up climbing from under the covers! 😁 closing down some tonight.

Tractor fixed. Will use it later. Since I can, I checked tracking on my rake...it left NC at 9:17am yesterday....about 3.5 hrs away. So I'm sure it's in my area!!! Yippee!! While it could be here today, not holding my breath. Just really hoping for it to deliver today.. It would sure make my day good because I need to use it!!!

Guess I'm farming today I deserve to be able to for now....
