Yo! Morning again!

Now that's something to celebrate!

(don't worry, I'm just miming the yelling - wouldn't want to spook the horse!)

Mornin' all!

Howdy!  Early start on the day, getting horses together in one herd, supervising, yawning and leaving to go plant the fall garlic.  Very boring, just how we like it.
Last night, however, was very exciting for DS$ who got to "ride" Woody and was very happy to be the first one up.  I felt like I was leading a little kid on a very overgrown pony.  Very boring ride, just how we like them.  It froze last night here, ice on the chicken water.  Squash and beans are gone.  Tomatoes fine in their greenhouses.
Have a great day!

Usually by now we've had a killing frost.... But not yet thank goodness.... I'm too sick to deal with that at the moment.

Yo! Morning again!

*sigh* she looks filthy (anybody know of a fly spray that dirt won't stick to? ) and there's that jungle that used to be a vegetable garden in the background. . . . But here's Syd, being helpful.

That's nice! Helpful ponies, we love em.
Phil, sorry you are not up to snuff. Feel better soon!

Joe got up on Woody again this eve. Bareback this time as we were kinda doing this at the last minute. He is just okay with most anything, that goofy horse. We didn't take up too much of his time out of eating..... about 10 minutes.
Coffee beans ground for tomorrow.....

All fly spray I know of is sticky. That is a nice training setup, dowel rod and 2x4?
The coffee pots are done and ready to go, yes I have already had a cupa out of the xtra strong pot, it's about like BertS would like.
Have a good Monday Morning Everybody!

Good morning everyone. Weather is typical UP weather, cold and rainy on Saturday, and now we are back to sunny and gorgeous. And for whatever reason, I am always extra busy at this time of the year. I made Danish this weekend, the dough is very labor intensive, but sooooo worth it. Today I need to plant some more mums and try to enjoy this beautiful weather....and maybe make some cookies! Have a great day everybody.

PS and I promise I will get the chocolate cake recipe up soon!

 

[Mtn Margie]

Why don't you just send your clone out my way and call it good? Your pictures make me hungry and I live too far away.......
Morning! Coffee and an imagined Danish please. Snow showers on Tues morning. I tell you what!.........grumble, grumble

You do have a way of making a person crave something from over a thousand miles away.

Is there a Fedex near you?

That clone idea is a good one, if you get one maybe I can get one also.
How about they open up a small bakery shop named 'Miss Wiggles Goodies' on the side?

Yep, cobbled together from stuff I had lying around. In the "it takes a lot of wet saddle blankets to make a good horse" vein, I figure the only way Syd is going to get comfortable between the shafts is for me to put her there as often as I can. This rig may not look elegant, but it works in a lot of ways - because the cart has 4 wheels, this puts no direct weight on her at any time, so all she has to deal with is pulling. Being low to the ground, it is quite stable, and visually less intimidating when she sees it following her. It squeaks, rattles, and bangs most gratifyingly, which should help with desensitizing her to noises. The shafts pivoting with her put less pressure on her than the ones that are fixed in position on the front of the pony cart, and if we break anything, it's easily replaced. It seems to be working - as you can see from the picture, Syd is comfortable enough with it to not only help with the hauling, she helps by mowing the lawn while I load and unload! (I joke, but I wouldn't step away from her like that if I wasn't absolutely sure she wouldn't go anywhere . . . I guess you could say this is doing a lot for my comfort level, as well).
