dear L/lofters,
i apologize for my prolonged absence. i have been taking care of an orphaned foal, a whippet, not-my-Anatolian Turkish hound, a mama cat, and finally, myself. the foal's mother died in giving birth to Nickers. he had to have a blood transfusion b/c he didn't get any colostrum. he isn't even a week old but is already over 110 lbs (weighing more than i do!), eating like a horse, healthy, sweet, a fighter, and very smart! soon i shall be able to post pics of myself w/Nickers and the rest of the menagerie. the first pics of me on the internet! i guess i'm a farmhand now, lol.
namaste,

Hello everyone..

Blueeyes you ask where everyone is.????.From watching the weather channel i think they are in the basement..Its been scarey out in the back yard..So sorry to hear about your aunt..I hope things clear up for ya or at least tolerable conversations in the family..

I was able to pick up a few extra hours at work and the sun came out 2 times here in La La Land..Now there is the outside chores to get done..I personally prefer the outside chores..It is raining here again and will continue until friday..Flooding is an issue here now..I have issues with the mud..

Damselfly..Animals take up alot of time..Watch out for the mosquitoes..A friend of mine lost his 3 year old horse last summer because of the westnile [spelling?]..Hard to believe a small little bug like that will put a healthy horse down..

I hope everyone had a good Easter..I did..Went to my brothers and ate alot..

Have a good week everyone

i would have been in the basement for the last three days n nights, if we had one! we don't even have a storm cellar. the weather here too has been scary. a town in the same county got hit hard by a tornado about a day ago. plus, every night has been severe thunderstorms with hail, which i can hear hitting the roof. so i know what you mean!
thanks for the info about horses. vickie already sprays both lovey and nickers, and nicker's pen area, with a special fly/mosquito/other bugs spray which is a natural formula. it won't damage horses or other mammals, just insects.
*wishing for more rain but NOT more tornadoes*
