A Fun Day At The Farm And Another Daughter Comes To Visit
Steph and boys came to visit Monday and stayed till Tuesday, today Michelle came out to play. But before she went out to ride (her favorite thing on the farm to do) she was a trooper and helped the girls with their inside chores. Thanks Chelle! The circle of discussion. Who gets what tack.

What Happens When Roy Gets Jealous
Last evening, as we finished up in the pastures with a few incidental chores, Easy came over to visit the new horses over the fence that separates them till they can manage to get along better. Holly wasn’t much impressed and ignored the Grand Mare of the farm. That’s fine Ivan was friendly enough for … Continue reading
How Ivan Got His Full Name
When the new horses came to the farm last week the girls knew that they wanted to rename them. The names they had weren’t terrible but they just weren’t the girls’ names. I was surprised when they had them renamed that very evening after getting them home and snuggled in. Holly and Ivan. After the … Continue reading
Oooh, I’m Not Doing So Well
Yesterday’s sting is now swollen and itching and burning wildly. My wrist is red, tight and hot. but that really isn’t the worst of it. In the middle of the night I gave myself whiplash. I have no idea what I was dreaming (that could be a blessing) but I woke myself up sitting up … Continue reading

It beats the heck out of a gym membership any old day.That’s me just standing around, loafing, if I went to a gym I would just watch everybody there too. Oh, did you think I liked to do … Continue reading
What I Meant To Do
When I sat down here at the computer I meant to look up a chicken recipe that used fresh apricots. Then I got sidetracked when I was curious if Kathy has a new post. But now I am back on track but disappointed, can not find what I wanted. So once again nutty Lanny is … Continue reading
Rabbit Trails>>>>>>
Went to Kathy’s blog and that lead to Dr. John’s and that lead to Pub Philosopher’s and that held a bit of information I am going to share. (could this be why I get little to nothing done?) August 1 or actually the exact day between summer solstice and fall equinox is Lammas Day or … Continue reading
The Carpet Has Left The Building
No more wall to wall carpet in my life. Oh wait, there is still some upstairs in my sewing room because the large cracks in the flooring up there swallow up small children and sewing project. Bet and Anna removed the carpet from the living room yesterday and today I hear Bet tapping away at … Continue reading
