So yesterday I managed to get 2 of the 3 mares back up north for breeding. Carmen was supposed to be in heat and did act like it when I dropped her off. The breeder later called me and said she had kicked the poor stud in the chest, a sign that she either wasnt ready or past ready, which is...

Sorry to hear about your billy :(

Hey Deb, Sorry to hear you are feeling tired. Maybe it is the time of the year, or has to do with the unusually warm March we had? Are you getting all your vitamins?

We did AI the previous 2 years and had no luck whatsoever. I hope that Megans pregnancy/abortion is a sign that we are headed in the right direction.

:hugs So happy for you and your hubby

Thank you all. It will be a good day, I wont give up on getting those horses bred. It is just hard seeing it cut into our profit but that is why I always calculate costs on the higher spectrum, and income on the lower spectrum. Leaves room for adjustments. Katie has Stringhalt from an injury...

Oh, WOW! Congratulations! You must be so proud! They are beautiful!

Hey Boogity, I love your wax and I will definitely think about contacting my bee product suppliers. First I still need to finish the product, seems like I have been looking at the pot forever but right now I need to focus back on the horses. Wish that at least one of them would have takenwell...

Thank you all. Yeah, the vet fees suck, but I am one of those people, I'd rather do it right. Thankfully, because of the vet I was able to tell that Carmen was already coming back into heat, where I didn't have her scheduled until 2 weeks from now, so that is good. Obviously the old owners were...

Yeah! A fire!!! :weee :weee I so crave one. We are drowing in rain up here. Somebody, make it stop please!!!!

:yuckyuck :lau

That sounds good! This is how I do my beekeeping too. Everytime there is a modest profit, I grow it a bit more and make things a bit easier. Gotta keep chugging along. Now how do you come up with these flavors? Does it just come to you?

So I finally got around to take a picture of my unfinished beeswax. The picture really doesn't do it justice because it is a dark day and the yellow is normally brighter. We just had the vet out and the birthing God was not good to us. None of our mares took in the last breeding. One did take...

:weee Yeah! You are going to love those Salmon Faverolles. Such beautiful birds!

I will probably try to sell it, don't know if I have the market up here. There don't seem to be too many self sufficiency people in my corridor but I will try, since I need the money to pay for the new bees.

:welcome from West Michigan Roger! Sounds like you have some interesting tales to share! Don't forget to start your own journal so we can all enjoy your journey to self sufficiency. Don't forget to add many pictures too :drool

Wow! I love all your soaps! Looks very neat. What do you use to cut it so that it looks like a clean straight cut?

Wow, the rain took the paint off????? WOW. I think we are getting this rain of yours right now too.

I will promise to take some tonight or tomorrow. Today will be busy with the mares preg-check and possibly going out to dinner depending on the results. I am almost done with my last batch, then I need to melt it all into one big block rather than many little chunks.

Hey Deb, I hear you. What is it with people stopping by at the most inconvenient timeand then keep on talking while you are itching to get back to work to get stuff done so you can have a halfway decent evening and have time to make dinner? I usually dont mind the people who come over all the...
