Are you tired of Sage and her Cut?

Hope you aren't, I think it looks better. Don't you? She stood there and does not even flinch when you squirt the Vetricin on the cut. That makes me happy with her. When we started it took two bottles of water squirting until she would let us put the Vetricin on it. We need another bottle too by the first of the week. That is good stuff.

Ron came over and started to hang my chandelier in the living room. It made a big mess but it will be worth it.

We went and got groceries today and that was about the most exciting thing I did. LOL

Another Snow Day

Today our grandson Ryan turns 15. Can't believe it. He is a good boy, gets good grades and is very musical. Love you Ryan.

Out my bedroom window just after it started to snow. Ditto and Sage were walking around in circles wanted me to come get them and put them in the barn. I did in a little while. Emma just stood there getting a white blanket on her back.

Sage's cut looks better tonight and she is fine about us working on it and spraying it. I will take another picture in a day or two. I am going to try to ride her tomorrow snow or not.

Blessings

Update on Sage

I think it should heal faster but it is shrinking. I cleaned it all out tonight again. It is reallty gross to have to do it but since we have had horses, I have had to learn to do things that I never thought I could or would, in fact I didn't even want to learn how. But I have and I can do it. She just stands there and lets us. I am proud of her.

The view from my front door this evening. It was a pretty clear day but the mud is knee deep. It freezes every night and thaws during the day. We have half and inch to an inch of snow later yesterday that made the roads very very slick. After we went to dinner it was creeping along to get home. It is almost gone, just a little here and there today. We have had so little snow this winter that I really don't think I should complain.

Blessings,

This and That

This is Piper. She is l8 months old.
This is Kiyanna. She will be 3 next week. She is my little buddy.

Our grandson Robby who is the father of those precious great granddaughters. He looks so much like his father - our son Scott. They were too wound up to want to sit on his lap and post pretty for their Grammy and Robby said it was like trying to hold an armful of worms. We love them so much.

Nikki was here this weekend since late Thursday. We had such a good time. This is Isaac and Tiger. Lane was determined to take Tiger home but his mother of course said no and I told him that was my cat and he could not have him. Lane is 13 and having a hard time growing up. Isaac got to ride Rosie for a while but I forgot to take any pictures. Rosie was not really wanting to mind very much either. I should have lunged her first but it is still icy in the round pen and they wanted to go home today.

Lane and Raspberry. He is a real animal lover and its too bad they live in town. He would have chickens and cats and heaven knows what else.

This was Sage today. She is healing up so well. I would never have guessed it when I found it last week. Vetricin is wonderful stuff. She is getting a little better about the spray bottle but it is still not her favorite thing. Maybe by the time it is healed she will not wig out.

We did have a good weekend. I don't think Nikki realizes how much I miss her. She had a good morning at church. She got to see friends she has not seen in a while and I got to introduce her to Greg and Lisa, two of our favorite people. Her bestie friend from high school was there and she got to have a good chat with Joanne. Our youngest daughter Chrissy and her family came out Saturday evening. It was good. And today we sold two of our cows and now we have money to do some things and some to put in savings for an emergency fund. That had been worrying us.

So that was our weekend. Loved every minute of it.

Looking Back

Mustangs at the Wild Horse Corrals in Burns Oregon Probably close to 15 years ago. Lloyd was a youngish man and has now retired.
Bob at Mt. Rainer, Longmire area when he was young. I think the date on the picture is l943 but its in his brothers hand writing and it was later than that. We were born in l938 and I know he is older than 5 in that picture. Maybe l0 or 11.

Me and the Horse at the Fredrick Meyer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan a few years ago. My friend Sue lives in Hastings. We had such fun.

Sage is doing well. She does not like the spray bottle but she IS going to get used to it.

Blessings.

Update and Raspberry

This is how her cut looks this evening. Its getting much better. I will be glad when its covered over though.
My new little love bug - Raspberry. She is lonely because she has been with a large group but she will get used to being here. She is very sweet.

We are waiting for Nikki and her youngest two boys to arrive. It won't be for a while. She didn't leave until she got off work. I am so excited about her coming. It has been a long time it seems since she came over here. Last July I think.

An ugly grey day but no snow so I will not complain.

Blessings.

Winter Returns

Yesterday around the farm. Rowdy and his hens sitting in the sun. Its a good thing they enjoyed it yesterday because it snowed today. Nothing on the ground but it was nasty and grey. I wanted to ride again today but no such luck.
Raven looking for a treat.

Wrangler wondering if I was going to be waving that darn tarp around again. He has never gotten so he can tolerate that.

Domino. He is so pretty.

This afternoon we went to watch out grandson play basketball at his middle school His number is 24. He did great and they won by lots. I was proud of him. He used to be quite blond but now he is turning into a real redhead. His hair is very curly and he hates it. Grandma loves it.

Tomorrow evening Nikki will be here and I am so excited. Miss her so much. I have some real cleaning to do tomorrow like the guest room and the mess room to get it all ready for Nikki, Lane and Isaac. It isn't really dirty just messy and it makes me worry because she cleans houses for a living and is a perfectionist. She does not get that from her mother. Nor her father for that matter.

Sage is coming a long. I don't like how it looks but Bob says it is improving. I hope he and Shannon are right. I want it well yesterday. Ya know how that is.

Blessing
