She'll love rolling in horse manure and being a dawg! -evil grin-<br /><br />Hi Kathy, horses are healing slowly but healing...thank God.<br /><br />Hi Farmchick, time is always an issue, eh? It's a struggle to keep up and I, usually, don't.<br /><br />Hi Leslie, everything about a farm is hard work...and a LOT of hard work. The older I get, the harder it gets to keep up. No wonder I'm generally tired! -grin-<br /><br />Hi Jules, give your Dad a hug for me.

It is nothing to mess around with.<br /><br />Your animals are obviously happy and well-loved even if the girls aren't thrilled with the diet :) (I'm supposed to be on one myself so I can relate)<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely post.Jules@MoonCatFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638422573079515625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-49294761059253341892010-06-15T14:21:42.382-04:002010-06-15T14:21:42.382-04:00I know next to nothing about horses.

You reconfirmed the one thing I did know and that was that there is much hard work and knowledge involved in caring for horses. You obviously know what you are doing, your horses are happy and beautiful. Too bad they don't understand why they can't eat all day. <br /><br />I hope that they are well soon.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976416338706426809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-8711625791937190862010-06-13T09:30:43.803-04:002010-06-13T09:30:43.803-04:00Love reading about your horses.

A good storm allows you to do more inside while you wait for it to pass. I too have marveled at rain on one side of me slowly moving to cover me as the rain clouds travel across our property. It really is the little every day miracles that stand out!<br /><br />I hope the horses are well very soon with such good care.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-68299125186510518492010-06-13T01:36:35.296-04:002010-06-13T01:36:35.296-04:00.....and when I come here, I feel fulfilled, renew........and when I come here, I feel fulfilled, renewed, and a little envious ( only a little ;o)<br />What I would give for that much natural joy!The Strawberry Mallardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04476019794761005644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-43785445524270841332010-06-12T19:14:04.322-04:002010-06-12T19:14:04.322-04:00I love reading your posts.
