@baymule I certainly hope so. As a draft knowing that he isn't as likely to live as long as a regular horse I've always really tried to keep him as healthy as possible. I think he's doing better than he has now, even with him struggling to pick up his hind feet a little. I just need to make sure...

Oh man, @Britesea that's hilarious. Good grief, some people are silly! I haven't updated here in a long time, so I should probably try to remember what's happened since then.... which may or may not be possible.... I did get Storm moved, finally. Took an hour to get him loaded, but everything...

Well I've been under a rock for a hot minute. Missed yall! Things are rocking along. We expanded the garden this year and added a 3rd bed, so I now have 3 4x12' beds. It's a really comfortable amount of space, and with my friend that has been hanging out with me we can do a little more with my...

:frow Hope you're well, @FarmerJamie

I've been under a rock for a while, hope you're doing well, @frustratedearthmother

Dang, I guess I should update a bit more often.... Storm has settled in beautifully at the new farm. I am SO happy with how he is behaving. IH and I arrived to the farm last week, and I didn't realize it but BG had left them in overnight. We were late on top of everything, and so it was almost...

Thank you, FEM! It went ok. Not as smooth as I would have liked, but it could have been worse. It took an hour to load him, which wasn't fun at all. When we got him off the trailer at the new place he was all sweaty and shaking. I felt bad for him, but he did really good once we got there. We...

Thanks yall. We ended up pushing off the move until today. I'm a bundle of nerves this morning, so hopefully I can work through that!! Send good juju for us! I'll update early next week after we're all settled (and I need to update about the SH money situation, he finally called me... it just...

Yes, I'm SO grateful that he was able to take care of that. I still need to call an electrician to see about getting some quotes for upgrading the panel, but I've been resisting doing that for some reason. I'll get to it eventually... So Storm's move is lining up for Wednesday next week. And...

Whew, lots happening right now. I forgot to ask RW to put Storm's blanket on while she was there, so TM said she'd do it before turning out on Thursday. I get to the barn Friday morning, and find him without a blanket, but he didn't look wet. His stall was also REALLY gross, and it looked like...

@flowerbug my perspective changes, by the end of winter I'm excited to see those temps... right now, not so much!!

Thanks FEM! Yeah, not surprising, honestly. The part that I wish he would be more candid about is what HE is sacrificing to "keep things going". Not that I want him to be a martyr, but it would be helpful to understand what HE'S cutting for himself in order that the other 15 people that depend...

EW! No offense, but you can keep it!!!

@Icu4dzs I appreciate the offer... the commute would be hell, too! :lol: He did fine in the 36" of snow we had 4 years ago. And on one of the farms we were on years ago when we got back to back 25+" snows, they actually turned him out first to "plow" the field a bit before they put the other...

Oh man. You can keep it!! LOL

YES! It's very satisfying, FEM! That makes me feel so much better. The BF seems to think it's enough, I'm not totally sure, but then again there's more wood at his dad's house that he has to go get. W was over this weekend working on the table that they still haven't finished, and he was really...

Yeah, no real updates at the moment, everything is still pretty much the same. We did manage to get all of the wood split and stacked that we had, so that's a good thing. Only part of that will be ready right away, but hopefully enough will be ready for this winter that we won't have to go...

Good weather is a blessing!

There's been quite a bit happening, but I don't really know where to begin. Things did not end well with GH, she and I had a lovely lunch, and we were finishing when I brought up the discrepancy between what they have paid me for and what I've worked. She sort of lost it, which I should have...

Glad to hear things are rolling along. I am SO with you on the "daylight saving"... My favorite "quote" that I have heard about that is supposedly attributed to a "native american" but it says "Only the white man would think you can cut a foot off the bottom of a blanket and sew it on the top of...
