Whew. Back from our way too short trip to the beach. I had a blast. We drove down to Assateague island and got to see the wild ponies, which was awesome. There was even a baby with the herd, and the Ranger said it was less than a week old. We also got to see the full moon over the ocean, which...

I don't like it one bit, either, FEM. 2 3/4" from Saturday night through yesterday afternoon. It's NASTY wet right now. Cowboy and Coyote are only using the old hay feeder since the new one is half finished with stone dust, and it's GROSS around the old feeder. I feel bad for them, and it's...

Thanks, FEM! I don't really know how I do it either... if I think too hard about it, then that's a bad thing so I try not to think about it and just keep going. Specter did fine at the vet. He wasn't thrilled about it, and we had to dump him out of the carrier, and even then he kept his back...

LOL, I'll probably use them all up FEM!! Things are rocking along. The zero interest balance transfer cleared from my personal card, now I'm waiting for the one to clear on one of my business cards to see what the minimum payment will be. I'm hoping that it's low enough that I can sort of...

Getting it crossed off the list will help tremendously! I hope we can manage it soon. It's just going to depend largely on the weather. We didn't get anything done yesterday afternoon. I was hoping to, but both of us were tired. This afternoon the plan is to mow again. Hopefully it will be...

FEM, yes, it's insult to injury and the reason why we can't get stuff done. I have to do turnout and stalls on Friday mornings and Sunday mornings, and it seems like it's almost always raining... @Lazy Gardener I have the same struggle, but occasionally there will be stuff that we use, and so I...

Bummer, @Lazy Gardener That stinks. They're fairly competitive here. Yesterday, it was $2.75, most places around are $2.79. So the member price was $2.65, and we bought a couple things that got us and additional 25c off, so we filled up the BF's truck for only $33! They're still running that...

Yay progress! That feels so good!

This week has been ok. My back is still giving me issues, especially when I sneeze, which is terribly annoying when allergy season is in full swing. Friday morning I managed to get a load of stone dust for Cowboy and Coyote. The problem being that the smallest dump truck they have apparently...

Glad you made some progress! The weather has been nutty for sure!

Thanks FEM. I unfortunately went backwards before I can go forwards. My back was feeling pretty good, and then I was walking across the barn yard at Cowboy and Coyote's and SNEEZED. I F'ING SNEEZED. And threw it out again. WTF! That was Tuesday, yesterday I spent some time with some friends, one...

Thanks, ya'll! The tractor is great! The BF is already playing with it all the time LOL. I know it will serve us really well, and it's simple enough that I can drive it easily, too. I'm looking forward to being able to take care of things on my own! Not much happened this weekend. We went to...

I hope yall didn't get hit hard this weekend. We avoided the worst of it, too, thankfully!

Thanks @Lazy Gardener and @baymule Things finally settled down on Monday. I was able to start drinking more again, and I ate a piece of toast and a couple bites of pain rice. Tuesday was better, and finally I feel like I was mostly eating normally again yesterday. I decided the biggest issue...

Well. That was unexpected. Friday I reheated soup from the freezer, and then we ate dinner out. I wasn't feeling all that great that evening, but then overnight I slept terribly and my stomach hurt. I woke up Saturday morning feeling queasy and really uncomfortable. I had a riding lesson with...

You are as busy as I am! I'm glad things are doing ok though. I'm trying to balance the need for a little spring rain with not wanting to go back to a mud fest any time soon... And the hope that the rain comes gently enough and often enough to keep the pollen down.

LOL true, NH Homesteader!! Of course, that was well over a year's worth, frankly. The problem was that they've never actually officially had the paddocks cleaned. I've cared for the boys for over 10 years, and they always just harrow it in, and it "disappears". It would get soggy when it rains...

Tractor brand alliances are as bad as cars! :gigThe BF doesn't like the gas/brake rocker pedal style of the Kubota. I haven't driven one, so I don't know. He agrees they're tough tractors, but it's an ergonomic preference I think. And don't worry, he'll work on the tractor anyway, LOL. He's...

:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee Yall!!!!! We're getting a tractor!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooo SH (Cowboy and Coyote's owner) talked, and he and I came up with a bit of a plan to get the manure cleaned up. KD, the hay guy, has told us we can use his bobcat any time to help clear it out, and...

Hahaha that's too funny, FEM! I don't really enjoy washing eggs. The sink is deep, and my back and knees end up hurting pretty quickly. Thankfully it's only a couple dozen, not like the 10 or 12 dozen at a time that it used to be. The new girls haven't started laying yet, so it wasn't bad. We...
