Everyone talks about hot how it is in TN in the summer. And it is. Very hot. Except when it isn't! Like this past week. This morning it was 62 degrees when I walked out to feed ponies.

A whole lot of stuff happened and I finally got out of my conference coma kind of by Friday (it literally takes me a few days to get my brain and body recovered from being ON for a solid week running around and being customer service the whole week). So by Friday … Continue reading A Hodgepodge of Updates

So yesterday was great, Tate got delivered promptly around 10 am  then after they left with the trailer I found/saw the snake in my tack room and never wanted to feed the horses again.  Remus also lost his shit when the TRAILER LEFT without the pony. He just knew someone else was on that trailer. … Continue reading The New Odd Couple: Remus and Tate

Gretchen never goes far (and if she does she is always to be found at the front … Continue reading Farm Life: Ollie Did a Bad, Bad Thing!

We have our pest guy coming back this am to re-treat for ants and I have found a swarm of red paper wasps everywhere including the barn walls (right outside Remus's stalls). They need to go bye bye and … Continue reading Bugs Are Bugging Me Bad: Anyone Have An Auto Fly Spray System?

So I told you I got Remus and he is home safe and sound. He is by himself right now due to we have met Tate, we love Tate, but I haven't had time to go get Tate yet! Remus seems to be okay on his own in his paddock. However Saturday night when I … Continue reading Maps, Miles, and Motoring: Kentucky or Bust!
