Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

When did snow get on our forecast! No! It's too soon.

Hardly had enough to even notice here, but Missy sure wasn’t happy!

Marty is made of sterner stuff - she is no whimp! And she even dragged her man out with her!

Grandma is coming at you in the kitchen. It was so cold that I had to bring her inside even though she is usually in the leaf pile on the bottom but this morning, she was sitting in her box. Mozzarella is usually outside when I go over to the chicken coop to see how everyone's doing. She's preparing on what she's going to buy for Thanksgiving dinner. This morning was 38 F, now it's 40 F and today is supposed to be 46. Tuesday, we're expecting rain and Wednesday or Thursday, we're expecting SNOW This weekend will be a real doozy because 37 F on Saturday and 38 F on Sunday with sun is a reminder that 2 weeks ago was when I experienced 70 F weather. We won't be experiencing this again until March, possibly late February. So until then... enjoy the so-so horrible weather. At least the air quality is great.

It was +24c here on Thursday, and -2C today - crazy temps!

But at least today the chickies are more active.

Mugs Monday

Today I give to you Wee Marty singing Breathless with visual effects (she really should stop smoking!).

For a minute there it looked like she was blowing smoke rings!

Hmmmm, you didn't read my previous post closely, ha, ha, ha

I commented in RED right in her post in my reply
(I think I did it correctly - linking to the post. YAY! I learned something new if I did. Oh, well, par for the course with me & technology if I didn't!

I wont be put on estrogen replacers. Thanks to my grandmother and mother. My grandmother had breast cancer 25 years ago. Mom has a lump that is benign but they keep a check on it every 6 months, if it ever grows it has to go. Thanks to that my dr is afraid the estrogen will increase my chances for breast cancer. I know I'm in for a rough ride the first year or so after the surgery as my body gets used to no estrogen but I'm not afraid. Well, I lied, never had surgery before so that does worry me. I have been wondering if it is not just my back that has made riding the horses unbearable, those darn cysts could be adding to it. Once I'm healed I told Rosie the first thing I'm doing is hopping on Russ. If I can hop back on a horse again and even ride for 30 minutes here and there and not suffer afterwards, you have no idea the joy that will give me again.

Excellent thought process. I was highly anemic (they gave me a transfusion). They prescribed iron pills which no one carried, finally got the new prescription, then broke out in hives. The doctor had told me there was NO way I could bring my iron levels up through diet. With the hives, I had no choice. Post-op check up, iron levels were in normal range. 6 months later they still were. I'm suspecting the fibroids were feeding on the iron in my blood. Haven't had iron issues since. Your back pain may very well be cyst induced. Wait to get up on horseback until you can bend, twist, stoop, and squat without abdominal discomfort.

YES!

All I want to do is hop on a horse for 30 and toodle down the road and back! And then not be up all night crying in pain

I am sure you will find that once your healed you will be amazed at how life is with no discomfort

I will have to make a trip down (to drop off Marty / Mr P eggs to you) so we can go for a toodle down the road

EDIT

ooops tax due!

3 month minimum I would say - to be cautious…

Holy Dinah! That’s horrible! Oh I feel for you what a terrible thing to go through but oh so glad now your feeling better.

A tax to make you smile

These three sisters are so cute together - yes there are three there
