what’s on your mind?
It has been a busy winter! Never mind the holiday season…that is another story! I hope that it was enjoyed for what it was suppose to be: the celebration of Christ’s birth. Enough said. There has been a lot of illness going on since before Christmas! I had it at my job. And I had it personally! It changed a few things – I had to temporarily work at a different location. It was harder work and made me very tired at the end of the day. Add to that the days are shorter and with the earlier darkness I didn’t get to do much besides their general care! I am feeling overwhelmed with 4 of them! Last week there was a very warm day and most of the snow melted. The old pony saw that grass and would not stay in the fence! If she could...

The other day, Thursday Dec 27 -was a very snowy stormy day. I had to work and thankfully made it to work and home alright! I was exhausted that day. I wanted my husband to help me with the evening chores. He had an excuse not to. I realized {again} how alone I am with all of this. I know he is not happy with the number of animals we have.

I was with my granddaughter this past weekend. Since I work on Christmas day that was my Christmas celebration time! Then there’s a full time job. I visited my son and his wife another weekend. I am off every other weekend. That is the only time I get 2 days off consecutively. It is a challenge just to have time to take care of the horses and dogs! But it feels good to know that now they are comfortable and safe. I cleaned the barn well and put fresh bedding down. They have good-quality hay and plenty of water. (and a Redmond rock salt-block)! I spent time picking up their...

This ordinarily would be a joyous time of year. But with the events that happened in Sandy Hook….there is a blanket of doom and gloom over it. How could it not be!? There are no words that I can say now, but I was glad to hear that Dr. Phil went to Ct. to try and provide emotional help and support. There are so many people rushing to help now, of that I can be sure! But damn…it never should have happened…let’s make sure we especially hug and treasure each and every family member this season.
