shots and worming..........

I think we have truly forayed into the horse world. We gave shots and de-wormed the horses Saturday! They all did well except Bear...........he was naughty as always! We finally had to put a twitch on him to get him to take the meds! Sigh........

On a good note, I put a bit on Rosie today - she just hung her head for me and took it! - and I walked her all over the property - just led her around to get comfortable with me at her side. It was a really pleasant afternoon!

Well, I did lose my camera. It never even made it from Judes car to the hotel......it's just vanished..........a pentax.........bad doobie suzanne.........

I think spring may arrive this week..........mid 50's all week........of course it was 14 degrees outside this morning when I fed the horses but who's keeping track of that.................brrrrrrrrrr................

Palm Springs or bust!

Well, I am finally home. I feel like I've been gone for weeks on end.........oh wait, I have!

Palm Springs was wonderful. We had quite the schedule worked out - walked a mile to the store for breakfast.........sat and talked at an outside table while we ate........walked a mile back..........sat at the pool for 6 hours............got in the convertible and drove around for awhile...........ate dinner and caught a show......it was a pretty great week. I was ready to come home however. I missed that husband of mine......imagine that! :)

We picked up the new horse.........Rosarita..........from O'Brien Oregon. She is a great old mare and I'm anxious to start getting on her. I did find out about a new mixture you make up to help any skin ailments - she has a few 'rain rot' spots on her back - you mix half and half Listerine and baby oil! I wonder what it would work on for human skin...........I'll keep you posted!

I'm also looking at changing her name. She's been called Rosie but I thought something southwestern/western would fit better. Any suggestions would be welcome!

I'll get to putting up some pictures someday............I can't find my camera or my cord..........big surprise eh?

7:14

So it's 7:14 and it's still light outside. Can I just say 'Hallelujah' for daylight savings? I know that every year when it changes I am so happy. I need the light and it makes me realize that I can manage it until the snow goes away (we still have a foot) and that summer is coming........even if it's slowly! I would just like my driveway to be clear! That's not too much to ask I don't think.........

Had a wonderful week with all of the grandkids and their moms. Thanks for coming. It's just so great to have the house full of noise and messes! They are just the best grandkids ever and I love them to death!

Happy Daylight Savings Day!
