Elwood and family's journal of our ss journey

[baymule]

I give my chickens "chicken Popcicles" which is frozen watermelon rind, frozen vegetable scraps, frozen cantaloupe........ they love it and it cools them down. Or even freeze water in a bowl and flop that out for them, they will peck the ice and cool off.

Thanks I will try that!! we did give the rabbits ice bottles to stay cool already so no problem to do it for the chickens.

Ok so my wife's horse is now home safe and sound. She got a 10yr old 16 hand thouroughbred mare. She is a gorgeous horse. Has not been worked much in the last couple of years so we have some work to do. Just getting her settled in to her new home now. She is enjoying munching on the grass.

Congrats to your wife! Did the horse ever race?

 

[elwood]

No she did not she had a bowed tendon so no racing for her.

 

[Denim Deb]

I wish her well. Horses are a lot of work, but they're so worth it. If you lived in the area, I'd be asking her if she wanted to go for a trail ride.

 

[elwood]

she would love to but yes there is a bit of distance between us.

 

[Denim Deb]

If she's ever in South Jersey and wants to go for a ride, LMK. I'm sure I can find a horse for her so we could go riding.

My DW is being admitted to the hospital to have her heart checked out. She has had a couple of heart attacks so they take any chest pain very seriously. Hopefully it is nothing this time. We appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that we can get.

Praying for her and you!
