Hope everyone in the USA has a wonderful Thanksgiving and those not in the USA I give you permission to take the day off 🙂 Okay? I managed to squeeze in a lesson yesterday. Lots of driving around to make it all happen but it happened. We had rain on Tuesday (cold, cold rain) so … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving: And I Rode My Horse!

Weekend got away from me. Not because I rode or anything fun like that but because I am in the doldrums and not feeling life right now. So Schnauzer Monday it is. At least these dogs make me smile. Right? Ollie had a dental this past week. Scared me to death to put him under … Continue reading Schnauzer Monday

It is like a horror story come to life at my farm. The ladybugs are back. They are everywhere. On a warm day they literally swarm my trailer. And it grosses me out. They also swarm my barn in the afternoon sun. Today is supposed to be almost 70 and I have the barn doors … Continue reading Either My Trailer Has Measles or Ladybugs Are Back!

I am so tired from my trip to my dad's where I essentially got rid of ten tons of 50 years of memories. (We kept some, so don't despair!) I also found a literal box of slides about the size of a medium moving box and a projector so cant wait till it gets here … Continue reading I Am Back: Cold Weather Still Here But A Bit Better…

I don't have a load of time due to traveling today and having to get everything set for the winter squall bearing down on us (UGH). It is 60 degrees and SUNNY right now here. Going to rain all day later today and drop to 30s then 20s overnight. I leave at 430 today. My … Continue reading Lesson Recap! Also a Question?

Remus lost his damn mind last night. Like PigGate 2018 but the 2019 version (I didn't actually see the pig.. About the same time of the year too.) I put him in his stall, he was eating his dinner fine, looked out the window (It was almost dark by then) and WHAM. Lost his damn … Continue reading Schnauzer (and Swine??) Saturday & Sunday

So it is pouring here today in the 50s then dropping to 40s later today and then going to drop in the 20s tonight. Fun. Next week I go to Dad's on Monday and not only is it going to drop to the teens in the nighttime but they are calling for snow and ice … Continue reading Remus and His Dapples….

So the torrential rain and over 10 (YES TEN) inches of rain we got last week ensured my lesson was cancelled. ACTUALLY they never cancelled but I did end up not going and there is no way they were going to have lessons in that muck and mess. It was cold and chilly and deluge … Continue reading The Agony of Defeat (The Feet!)

The inlaws are heading back to Nashville Airport to fly home today. My husband is taking them (thank you Mark!) on his own so somehow I ended up being home alone with my dogs. Heaven!! 🙂 Considering Mark's back of the truck was full with luggage and there was a suitcase in the other back … Continue reading Schnauzer Sunday is Back!

Crazy ass weather, we have rain in forecast tomorrow and Thursday (bye-bye lesson probably) and had torrential rain the past weekend. But for some reason even though the forecast for the last two days has shown up to at least 70 and partly sunny, we haven't seen the sun once or had the temps get … Continue reading Forecast Fun (Not)!
