Horses are fickle creatures. Remus loves Tate. But he also hates Tate. And there are scars to show it. We extended the fence yesterday so they have a bit more space and a bit more grass. I went out to check this morning since the optical illusion of the fence made it look like Remus … Continue reading My Horse Is A Shark: Jaws Has Nothing On Remus

I can't stand looking at these two anymore. What the hell were they thinking? Did they roll in that mud thinking it would help their skin tone?Their complexions? Keep the flies off?? ummm, just no. Horses are pigs. There I said it. Tate waits to come into a clean stall to pee and poops more … Continue reading Why Pay for A Spa Day? Remus and Tate Do Their Own Mud Bath

We are really still loving all the wildlife we see here. The hawk above we saw several times this weekend. He is a different hawk than the one  I saw on my fence a few weeks ago. SO MUCH WILDLIFE :). We also have something that is knocking my bird feeders down again (after a … Continue reading Mud, Muck, & Monsoon: Tennessee Weather All or Nothing!

First let's celebrate the fact today is Friday! Why you say? Because tomorrow is Saturday. Nuff said 🙂 Anyway the in-laws leave on Saturday to head back to the UK. I bet they will need to dig their winter clothes out the heat has been so intense here. Whew. Of course they leave on Sat … Continue reading Thank God It’s Friday And How Do You Keep the Food From Being Flung?

We have one more week with the in-laws (They leave on Saturday). They are with me this week since Mark trotted off to work this morning happy as can be to get back to a normal schedule. Leaving me here with them trying to work from home while they are here. I have several teleconferences … Continue reading Farmer in the Dell: In-laws Are Still Here

We had about five days of lovely lovely weather. I was all by myself so didn't get to do much but take care of Tate's foot but it was crisp in the am and never got above 75 each day. YES PLEASE.MORE! Today we are back to a heat index of 99 by afternoon. BOO … Continue reading Wonderful Weather and Tate Update

Nothing is ever dull around here.  Tate was laying down in the paddock (yes mud and all) when I went out Monday morning. The funny thing was I had this part in my blog yesterday and then had a feeling it might be worth a blog post on its own and deleted it. Good thing … Continue reading And the Academy Award Winner for Best Drama Goes to: Tate

Mark and his parents headed to VA on Friday afternoon and I have had the place to myself. Which sounds good on paper but we have had torrential downpours all weekend so ummm no. I was hoping to figure out a way to climb aboard Remus but with half the soil floating by from all … Continue reading Wash Out Conditions Makes For a Quiet (But Wet) Weekend….

Liz bought the Shoofly Leggins (excellent review here!) and a few others talked about them so much, so since the flies were so bad around here I bought a set too. I do think they do what they promise pretty well (i.e. keep flies off the legs) if they STAY on said legs....BUT Remus is … Continue reading Remus Wins This Round: Shoofly Leggins vs. Remus!
