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!

Thanks Olivia for the blog hop idea. Who knew when you posted your post that this would happen? First Amanda, then Emily, then Kelly and even more jumped on this blog hop band wagon so here I go! I couldn't get my shit together to get mine done on Friday but as I sat in … Continue reading Blog Hop: The Lives of the Rich and Famous (Millionaire Me)

Some weeks are just like this. No weird animal showing up. No major catastrophes. Nada. Nothing, Zilch! BORING for posts I know. So here is a mishmash of what is going on here before my in-laws arrive on Saturday and turn our world and life upside down. Shoofly Leggins    Remus got himself a set … Continue reading The British Are Coming, the British Are Coming…Nothing To See, Move It Along

Remus's new fly sheet arrived and I love it. The neck thing attaches great but it is so hot outside for now I removed it but otherwise it definitely helps keep the big ass horse flies off him as well as the smaller flies. He seems less stressed with this sheet on than his other … Continue reading Feeding (and Keeping Flies off) Easy Keepers

I am still using the pellets that was discussed earlier. They are still dusty as hell but considering Tractor Supply keeps those pallets in the store and their shavings pallets OUTSIDE IN THE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS and they are the same cost, ehh I will stick with these for now. (Seriously the shavings were soaked even … Continue reading Stalls: A Stinky Situation

We sure do see a lot of wild animals here. The good thing is none of them are my actual horses. HA. The farrier came yesterday and did Remus and Tate. They were perfect angels (I was not sure how Tate would be but he was cool though he still has issues crossing the threshold … Continue reading Wild Kingdom Has Nothing on Us Here!

I had my whirlwind trip to the East Coast (yes it is just as hot and humid there as in Tenn and also they got a lot of rain) and got my dad all set up for stuff and then went and saw friends. Had a blast catching up with people. But was ready to … Continue reading So Glad to Be Home: Too Bad It’s Monday!

I am in VA as I type this. Flew into BWI yesterday and rented a car and drove to VA. Saturday morning or so I am going to drive to DE so I can see my Fusion (gym) friends who I miss dearly and anyone else I can see in the short time I am … Continue reading Shout Out to Mark: Thanks For Being You!

I head to to the East Coast this week to see Dad and so on (leave Weds, back on Sunday) so just posting a mishmash of our weekend and other news. First off, Tate got his fly gear and tried it out. Isn't he the cutest and why do pony fly masks have SUCH long … Continue reading Busy, Productive Weekend and East Coast Bound!
