Peep peep peep! I love it!

Did you notice how Gucci's tail bobs up and down when she peeps? It's adorable.

I don’t even know how to post a link

Ok so it’s always easy when you know how.

On the page you wish to copy, just click on the URL (address bar) and for iPhone tap the address it will turn blue hilighted

THEN
Tap again on the blue highlighted address and it will give the option to copy (also cut translate)

Then go to the message you wish to post the link into tap and hold a second or so on the spot you wish to paste and you will see the option to paste the link

And here is what I copied and pasted

Sometimes all you Need is the Wind in your Feathers

Glynda and Lady Featherington are enjoying the cool breeze made by the new fan I installed on this hot summer day.

Sooo sweet she reminds me of the silkies when they were young

I hate to break it to you Marie, but each time you master something, then a new 'thing' comes out and you are even further behind.
I have given up on ever becoming competent at this stuff!
Case in point, I have mastered emojis. I even like emojis! So just as I am celebrating that, memes(?) become a thing. I have no idea how to do those! I can't even do multi-quote.

I can do multi-quotes!!!!

By doing multiple single quotes in one posting


Memes/gifs: In the 'posting box", along menu at top of box, click on 'GIF'
Type subject in the search bar (I typed technology to find this one)
scroll through options and then click on image/meme/gif you want to select

Presto!!!

If I can handle it, you DEFINITELY can. I am barely technologically functional!

Sounds like a wonderful start to the day.

It was, and definitely cooler (56F compared to yesterday's high of 96F). It's a good thing I took my coffee out with me.

How about this.

Chicken Bonkers
It is 91 and heading rapidly to 98.
I am going out every 90mins to add ice to the waterers. After each trip I am wiped out and have to sit and recover with something nice and cold to sip.
Meanwhile, Maggie is busy working on her tan and her vitamin D levels.

Pony Sunday

Mustang Sally

Sally is a 22 yr old Pony-of-the-Americas mare born 05 April 2000 at 7;45pm Yes I was there for the event

She has some health issue as Appaloosa horses are prone to. She has a metabolic disorder requiring medication daily, and she has COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) just like humans get! She also gets medication for that. The metabolic disorder causes horses to not shed their winter coat hair properly and they need to be clipped so they don’t overheat. And to make them look snazzy instead of shaggy old nags.

So a couple times a year in the spring and summer I give Sally a do over and today was the day! I’ve been trying to get this done for a while now but whenever I have time it’s sweltering and she is sweating so that I can’t use the clippers - hard to clip damp hair on a horse!

Today was a bit cooler so I dragged her in and out her fan on her to keep her cool and then got everything ready:
Clippers
Coolant spray for clipper blades
Oil for the blades and the clipper motor
Brushes to brush and clean Sally before clipping
And for me a nylon jacket, ski pants, rubber boots and toque - nylon stops the horse hair from sticking to me - it’s miserable stuff when it gets in your eyes and hair, and inside your clothes.

The chickens upon seeing me in this get-up totally freaked out! They ran screaming from me - until I dragged out the treats hahaha.

So chickens settled, equipment ready, pony ready…. Commence clipping!

Before the body clip and do over

After clipping most of the body hair coat, and trimmed up her leg hair like every lady needs

All that hair came off her!

And the final look, total body clip, legs trimmed up, main trimmed and tamed, she could almost be ready to go to a show!!
