August 2023 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

 Winter was a bear, so I was really looking forward to this summer.  Now, I can't wait for it to be over.  I had to pull all the horses off their pastures and feed hay.  Good thing we brought in an extra trailer of  hay last fall.  The downpour we finally got this morning is promising, but we'll see.  It's supposed to be in the high 90s for the rest of the week, so we'll be filling water troughs more than once a day.  You can tell I'm a country girl.  My horses mean everything to me.  My stable is my happy place.  And, weather is everything around here.  It's the first thing I check in the morning and the last thing I check at night so I know what we'll be up against the following day.  Would 72 and a little rain each day be asking for too much?

The Boo Update

"Mom . . . your faucet is dripping again!"  Now if I could just teach him how to turn the water off when he's done!  I had been thinking about getting one of those "touch" faucets.  But, then it occurred to me that he might learn to turn it on himself, but would he remember to then turn it off?  When I think of all the things that could go wrong with that idea!  Trying to train a cat . . . WHAT was I thinking!!


See you next month!

Apparently you need to move to Michigan with your horses. We've had an unusually cool summer, and it seems like we've been getting at least a bit of rain much more frequently than usual this year.

Thank you for the lovely kits. Cats are so clever, well done to Boo - but tidy up after? Too much x

Totally in love with your lacy fall leaves! We have had little rain also. Always a worry when you're trying to feed animals you love. We have Holstein cows. I can tell you Boo would learn to turn it on just to get a rise out of Mama. LOL! I can see it now. Thanks, Di!

It has been a weird summer here too. We either have way too much rain, or drought and the whole country is on fire.
Thank you so much for the beautiful kit!
