When the ex and I were separating one of the main worries that kept coming up in my mind was – what am I going to do about the driveway this winter? So far it hadn’t been bad. I signed up with a plowing service to plow it as needed. The problem is that my [...]
I went outside this morning and fed the horses and it never occurred to me that there was an unusual amount of snow. Then I tried to back out of the driveway to go to work. When I couldn’t move I stepped out of the car to see why and sunk into snow much deeper [...]
What a day! It was bizarre. Here are highlights. 1. A cat with all kinds of problems comes in for an injection. At the last visit an x-ray reveals as an incidental finding that this former stray has some shotgun pellets in him. The owner is now super worried about them (instead of worrying about [...]
I’ve been on a non-fiction and documentary kick lately. I read The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places on Earth by Eric Weiner. I picked this up because it talked about Iceland and I really want to go there. It mostly talked about eating really gross things in Iceland. That would [...]
I have the bestest horses ever! I went out of town to work today. The pet sitters came this morning. I think they might have come back tonight too because when I got home the horses were outside with a pile of hay in front of each of them. If they had been out all [...]
Sunny and about 70. Warm enough for shorts but not swimsuits. The height of beach fashion in Florida this spring.
I got home while it was still light today so I decided to send the horses outside for a bit. Spirit goes out first and was grumpy about the mud but decided he could live with it. I turned Prize out and she went off full speed through the pasture like normal – except that [...]
It is amazing what you can do with the right tools. I love the look of the intricate hand carved stamps that you see in letterboxes. I could never figure out how to do it. Then I found the right tools. I found a site selling a variety pack of stamp materials to carve and [...]
I found out today that the best horse ever in the whole universe (and Spirit’s archenemy), Q, died. Q came into our lives a year or two after I got Spirit. My friend’s family bought him and another large pony because she was outgrowing the pony she had. Q was a stallion at the time [...]
I did my good deed for the day. My friends were on the way here for sewing day when one noticed that a neighbor horse was stuck. She came and got me and we met up with our other friend on the way back. We all went to the rescue. There was no one home [...]
I posted this entry once and then it went missing. This is what the beach looked like most of the time we were there. Cloudy and windy and cold. But I did get to see some dolphins so that was cool. This is a blue heron in full breeding plumage. This was taken on our [...]
I survived the wilds of Florida. Note that I didn’t say sunny and/or warm Florida since it quite contrarily decided to be neither. I also came back on the verge of death from the world’s worst cold. To be honest, by the time I was leaving Florida I had come to the conclusion that I [...]
I am alive and well in Florida. The flight went well. My friend who had never flown didn’t have a panic attack which I think surprised her as much as anyone. She really liked flying. The weather isn’t great but it much better than at home. The sun isn’t out much so it is a [...]

I am going on vacation this week! One of my sewing buddies had the prophetic realization this fall that we were going to be cold in February. So we bought cheap tickets on a discount carrier to anywhere they went that was warm. Round trip ticket to Daytona – $106.00 Fee for 5 days in [...]
I went through the 101 in 1001 list (link on the sidebar) to see what’s changed lately. 15. Adopt On hold 27. Breed Prize because I love baby horses! Bred her May 2007. Waiting to see if she is pregnant. Not pregnant. Also on hold depending on where we move to. 54. Make a donation [...]
I made a small wallhanging for a person I work with that features one of her many, many dogs. It is about 22 by 30.
