I have utterly given up on the older blog pages, as this server can no longer make updates to them.  I sincerely apologize that the older pages seem to be incomplete -- because they are (I would start typing or uploading a photo and it would time me out... Argh).  Let's see if a smaller page (and blogging less frequently?) works?  It's counter-intuitive to what I am aiming for and keeping folks up to date -- for instance on new rescues and passings of old ones...  But nonetheless, that's what I'm working with.  Let's try, shall we?

Scroll down for some of our actual updates...  And be sure to check out all the stories in the older "News" pages, linked above!

March 2025
      Wow, it's so hard to believe it's already 2025, much less a quarter of the way through?!  This winter we've pulled through several snow storms, so many windy days, and now we're technically in a water slump?  Hmmm....   So, in addition to the regular care I continued bringing the horses in for the harsh, cold nights (they love that!). I've done my usual hay counts and -- while I'm out of my dairy farmer friend's second cutting, which is the horses' FAVORITE?! -- I'm pretty well set with enough hay through the summer and until this years' first cutting seasons...  While sad, it did help that we lost three of the oldest horses from the herd this year: Ginger first, Sterling right after, and then Ohio at Christmas....
       But looking forward, we are preparing for the new hay season (I have a flat tire on my main tractor, the new compact tractor is in the shop, and I'm not sure if I will keep or upgrade the new hay rake...) and for a new season of CAMPING!  Yeah!
