This morning is was 52 in the barn and it was cool and misty outside. As I brought the horses in, you could see their breath. Everyone got a warm breakfast(I love watching the steam rise up off the beet pulp)and as they ate, I changed everyone into their stable sheets. Now they're all cozy munching on hay. I love mornings like this ( Read more... )

I am in the process of converting this journal to friends only.

Still not feeling any better-the burning, watery eyes, the headache, the sore mucles and this lovely cough are killing me.

I fell asleep while going over the lesson calendar for the month ( Read more... )

I woke up at around 1:30AM coughing my lungs up. This continued to happen ALL NIGHT. I seriously think when I cough now, I can taste blood. This is not good-I have a tendency to tear the lining of my throat/esophagus when I get bronchitis or any bad cough. Hooray ( Read more... )

We have readjusted the board-it will still go ( Read more... )

Heard anything about this lovely string of storms including tornados that killed ppl in TN?? Yeah well, those are headed our way today. Supposedly they will be losing strength by the time they get here so shouldn't be *too* bad but still... ick. Central NC should get it worse than us for once ( Read more... )

Tossed Dylan and Trucker down in the small barn today so they'd have that field to romp in all morning since today they both got the day off. Went down to check on them later and found a verrry dirty pony. So, bath time ensued...
