Why we own horses.......

This is Rock. Rock is 27 years old and still going strong. When he came to us about 4 years ago he was very underweight and in need of a lot of attention, but he has rewarded us sevenfold. We still struggle to keep weight on him and we are not sure how many more winters he will survive but for now we are enjoying every moment we have. I walk outside and see my little ones with their big babysitter and I smile, kiss him on his sweet face, and whisper in his ear....."thank you"........

A day in the life....

The ewes are in their new pasture and are happy. We banded tails and whethered the ram lamb, trimmed hooves and wormed so everyone is healthy and happy. I know, I know the banding should have been done when they were born but they weren't ours then.

It is lovely looking out our living room windows and seeing our sheep. It is peaceful and warm and fuzzy all at once!

Just a few pictures......

Not feeling very witty so here's just a couple of pictures........

Learning to trust.....

Todd and I have been a bit discouraged lately. We are waiting for God to answer a need and we are waiting. And. Waiting. In the meantime we are discouraged. And to add the discouragement......we find our little Eddie has passed away in the night. We could find nothing wrong with him and he was fine yesterday. Yes, we are a bit discouraged.....but it is the hard times that teach us to trust. More on that here.....

We do have good news though. I have confirmation that I will receive Cormo's from Indiana and from Massachuttes. We are thankful for that!

Ah life.....

Such as it is....Busy. Too. Busy. And of course what do you do when you are too busy? Well, sensible people slow down. Weed things out, say no a couple of times...... Me? I am not sensible, practical or (I need another llll word....). No. I take on more. Oh well this too shall pass or I will! It would be really nice God if you would send me an employee or two.........
