My cable/internet was out again on Thursday since the cable company was working on the bucket truck and took it offline again. HELLO PEOPLE, I WORK FROM HOME. Sigh. It took about an hour and half for them to fix it again and then the guy actually came up to the house to make sure it was working before he left so I do appreciate that! Here’s hoping this is the last time (though they still have to come bury our wire).
Anyway as of today we still have internet so I am happy. But it is raining. Again. Hard. I left horses up because it is so nasty and my vet is coming to do Remus’s teeth later. The horses didn’t even mind staying up it is that bad (usually Remus is ramming the stall to get out). I am glad to get his teeth done though as he (even though he is not losing weight) is dropping a lot of food. He has some sharp points one each side of his mouth and I think they are bothering him. Plus this gets him one step closer to boot camp.
Remus is very special talented. How many horses can manage to pee in their haycube/beet pulp feeder? OH, Mine can. SPECIAL SPECIAL SPECIAL. And he didn’t even finish the mash before he did this. ICK. Not my idea of a good mash.
We did have sun for a brief period Thursday morning. Didn’t last long but it was nice for three seconds. I hope it returns sometime before July!
And finally we had a woodpecker sighting at our feeder. They don’t always come to feeders so it was great seeing one (I missed a good shot in the feeder but got him on our fence instead). I love seeing woodpeckers again we had so many in Delaware. I hear them around here but this is my first time seeing one. This is the red-bellied variety I think (though it has a red head too)!
And speaking of hungry! Here is Tate!
Happy Friday all! Hope everyone has fun plans ahead. Mine are just to stay warm and dry and if Sunday turns out nice for us to finish running the fence up by the road so horses can go up there for grass soon! It is getting so green up there. Remus says yummy (Tate too)! What are your plans?

Oh man, we get woodpeckers at my house, too, and they’ve taken to pecking our house. Which is so annoying. We leave suet out for them specifically and they still do it. UGH.

Oh our neighbor in Newark, DE had one (a pileated one so very rare to see in town) peck the paint off his windows. LOLLOL So I can see that is annoying. Ours in DE would peck at our steel chimney and it would echo around the house and get the dogs barking! HA HA HA

Rain here too. Looks like until Sunday evening. SC never has standing water and there are 4″ deep puddles everywhere. So gross and will take forever to dry out. I’m hoping to us ea local indoor arena and actually ride before H’Appy gets himself on the chopping block with the Hubby. Those two are butting heads bad right now.

The pooping in buckets is SO GROSS. Batt does it semi regularly. Sometimes in his feed bucket, more often in his water bucket.

Making it to Friday doesn’t mean we made it through Friday… It’s 1pm and I still have an office consult and a class to teach. I just want to go home and sleep. Instead I have to go home, clean stall, and wrangle horses. After that class and consultation.

Our weather has been awful too, and the multiple storms seem to be timing themselves for power and internet outages on my work from home days. You have my sympathies – not being able to work is quite stressful (file that under things child me would have never thought possible!)

I don’t want to say this too loudly, but we’ve had two gorgeous days in a row! Shhh. I hear it’s ending tomorrow though.
Jamp peed in his rubber tub not too long ago too. I wish I could train him to do that and just leave a muck tub for him!

Tate’s looking adorably dirty and Remus sounds more like a Pig-Pen 🙂 there was a little bit of sun where I’m at today, but between rain, sleet and snow it’s been (and is going to be…) hard to come by here too and I’m over it

It’s so absolutely frustrating when you work from home and the internet goes out. Especially when you don’t have easy access to an alternate place. Luckily I did when I was working from home. Hopefully you get that line buried and they leave your wires the hell alone!
