Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

Childhood memories - my bedroom was located directly above the kitchen. I woke to the smell of bacon and coffee every morning.

That is a good way to wake up.
There is an invention waiting to be invented. Your fortune awaits. A smell-o-clock.

LOL.... the last BarbeQue we had I went out with a bunch of steaks to find it filled with WREN Nest.... Cute little buggers. I cooked the steaks on the stove and spent the rest of the spring watching Wren behavior.... The barbeque is right out the back door and we can see it every day... I had no idea how pretty their song was....

Quote: Oh, but it would have to be able to make them, too. Could you imagine waking to such smells, only to learn that they are only smells? Alarm clocks that just wake you up the normal way get abused enough as it is - I hear there's one kind that runs and hides from you already.

...or we'd eat our pillow thinking it's a biscuit.

my favorite cholesterol maker, biscuits and gravy followed up with a chicken fried steak lunch with the same gravy.

no wonder I needed a stent in 2007

LOL my child hood memory was waking up to the smell of cigar smoke... Dads lab was in the bedroom next door.... To this day I still love the smell...

Mom was a late riser so breakfast was usually cereal or Milk toast... something I could make my self.

Alaskan - great new blog - please tell s more about your horses

 

[Alaskan]

hummmmmm......

horses.....


We had horses for maybe 8 years??????? just sold them... well, maybe 2 years back now?

Dunno....

it seams like every year we have less money

income doesn't increase, but expensise keep increasing...

I at first tried to sell the horses, but it looked like the person willing to buy the first horse that I was selling wasn't going to be a good owner.... So I ended up giving away all three for free to people that I knew would take care of them.

We started out with 2, and then added one more that we only had for maybe 2 years, then got rid of all 3.


I only worry a bit that the new owners of the big guy maybe won't take care of his feet like he needs... but I haven't gone to go look... he isn't mine, nothing I can do about it, so I kinda don't want to know.

The big guy was a full Percheron, Buzz. He had some feet issues, so the person we got him from had him in shoes, and didn't keep up with the shoes like she should have. I had the shoes taken off, and it took years for his feet to recover, and years to get a really good farrier... but he finally had some gorgeous feet.

The other guy that we had from the start was Fleet, a pure bred Caspian horse. Sweetest little thing... the size of a pony, but built like a horse. And a bit of an Arabian brain... but different. Very interesting kind of horse. Fleet of course had perfect little feet, and had always been barefoot.

The one we only had for a couple of years was Henry, a Thoroughbred Quarter horse cross. I bought him because I wanted a super obedient horse for me. And he was a perfect trail horse, but he had WAY too much of the thoroughbred in him. He was NOT an easy keeper, like the other two were, I had to work hard to get him properly fed, and that was perpetually giving me fits.

And then Henry also had the thoroughbred skin... I hadn't ever been exposed to that before... I thought that Fleet had delicate skin ... but that was compared to Buzz... Henry ... well, I started to think that if you breathed too hard on him he would get a cut. It was a royal pain. I think it was Henry that put me over the edge......
