How about after he is here, you just plan a day to come out and visit

Quail that is such a nice story and your DH is so cool. Obviously this guy loves you big time! That is so sweet!

this is your chance for a horse, and he said go for it. I love it. and willing to build a barn, increase pasture, etc. etc. you got it good there!

enjoy him. be sure to post pics when he comes!

Take him......Now is your chance.......I am envious, just like beekissed, green with it. I put my parents thru he** because I wanted a horse. I spent one summer feeding, watering, petting and talking to my IMAGINARY horse. When we had to go somewhere, they had to wait till I got my horse in the barn. OMG I dont know how they handled it.
I am so GLAD FOR YOU, CRYING TEARS OF JOY RIGHT ALONG WITH YA GIRL. Yes we love your husband.

I am telling you, I could not have done better in a man. Really, I don't think I could.

And I haven't been an easy person to deal with. He has put up with a lot from me, and loved me right through it.

I am truly blessed!

No joke, if all we had was a one room shack, as long as I was with my DH and our five kids, I'd be crowded, but happy.

keljonma, did you get my pm about Sunday?

Yes, I am sure hoping it works out. I did a lot of praying, asking God to tell me what to do about the horse, even after DH said it was up to me. I strongly felt like God was telling me to "not look a gift horse in the mouth."

Yes, I emailed you because I got a message your pm box is full. Sunday 3 pm is good

OK, I'm just waiting to hear back from my mom. I think that will work for her, too.

 

[Quail_Antwerp]

I think I am going to write a book LOL

I went back, reading through some of my journal entries, and some things are kind of cute and funny. LOL

Call it, The Daily Adventures of a Hobby Farming Stay At Home Mom.

Well, I am a bit proud of myself. I managed to earn money today. Not too shabby money either. lol

I sacrificed some of my poultry. I sold 2 turkeys, 5 hens, a pair of milles, 2 geese, and 4 chicks. Oh and Rooster plates.

The money from all that is what I am going to use for Christmas shopping for the kiddos. That way it doesn't have to come out of the money DH is making at work. Well, I am sure he will still spend some of his check on Christmas, but I know this will help so it won't cut too much into his check.

Monday I am taking some roosters to auction.

Tonight I will be moving my Light Brahma hens into the coop that the buff orpingtons and speckled sussexes are in. The light brahma roo I cannot use for my breeding project, so he's one of them going to auction.

We have 4 buff brahma roos. I don't need 4, so two of them are going to auction. One just started crowing, going to make sure I keep him LOL

Auction money will go to the feed costs of feeding them.
