Fall is Getting Closer

The lambs have all been butchered and 3 turkeys. We have a mating pair left, named Popeye and Olive. Farm Boy leaves for bow hunting on Friday. I hope he gets something, I miss our game meat. Grocery store hamburger is disgusting.
I sold my last 3 Aracauna hens today. The lady put them in a box next to her dog in the car. The dog tore open the box and pulled feathers out. My poor hens, I took my money and went inside.
I'm going to put in an order of chicks. I don't think there will be any until Feburary though. Buff laced polish, crevecoeurs and sultans.


I started my own antique junk booth in an antiques and collectible mall. I set up yesterday and had so much fun. I have more stuff to add to it tomorrow. My house is getting easier and easier to clean. I hope I make a little extra money, for my horse addiction. Well the laundry is calling my name.

My Poor Baby

We were at Grandma's house with the dog's riding in the back of my truck (it's all on the same farm). I have an extra cab chevy with the back doors that open backwards. I was putting stuff in the back seat and my sweet pup Dollie was leaning out over the edge of the truck bed, trying to see what I was doing. When I shut the back door I heard this weird screaming sound. I looked to see what the heck it was. Dollie had her lip stuck in the crack of the door, where the hinge would be. It took me a second to figure out what the heck was going on and open the door again. Poor dog I tried to comfort her, but she just wanted to play. There wasn't any blood or swelling. What are the chances?

I caught it again!

Horse Fever!
I seemed to be slowly recovering, when I had my children. But I started riding every Friday morning with the neighbors. And then I got a free VIP pass to a rodeo with one of my best friends. It was all just too much. It's back with a vengence. I can't stop thinking about horses. HELP!!!!

We are leasing a little mare to teach the kids to ride. We're going to meet her tomorrow night. She is a 14 yr old fjord named Fria. My friend is moving her horse next month and then we will bring her home. I'm hoping at least one of my kids gets horse fever too. I'm doing everything I can to expose them. hehe I need a riding partner.

I'm selling off everything I own to put my QH through training this winter. I hope by next year we are doing some penning and gaming. I hope the kids will be ready to move up to a POA also.

Well a lady is coming to buy some chickens tonight, I better get ready.
