Gosh, we are just normal hot here for August. No traumatic weather or earthquakes. The heat gets monotonous, though. The earth gets hot and things start turning brown. But it's normal for us. I set the sprinkler out in the afternoon for the birds to play and cool off. Mist Billy. Give the...

He was your challenge horse. Think how much your daughter has learned from him.

Gosh, I was thinking more along the lines of my small rural town. Some smaller towns around allow "livestock" and I have not seen an issue with it. Our town of 3,000 tries to be more upscale than it really is. I saw a potbelly pig in one yard, which seemed to be having no trouble, but the law...

I agree. A resident can have 5-6 dogs in a back yard but not a miniature horse. Horse are "livestock". Hens are becoming allowed again in my town. I think families would get into 4H more if they were allowed to keep a goat or lamb in the city limits, too. I'd rather live next door to a...

Send some our way, please. Hope you mom is in a good place.

First time I've really seen Phillippe's tail from behind. Very fun!

The nematodes have reared their ugly heads again; our plan of leaving the tires fallow for a year did not work. From gorgeous, lush growth the okra plants have all died this week except one, and I'm sure it is doomed. Because we have an elaborate enclosed garden with a drip system we hate to...

Billy would be very interested in replies!

Two blooms on the dwarf water lily! The four o'clocks love the heat.

Always enjoy updates--especially good ones!

Good thing you know him so well and can read his body language.

He's fine today but no walking/sulky for a few days at least.

Oh, dear. I put Billy behind the golf cart to go to a neighbor's to pick squash. Half way there I looked back and he was favoring a front hoof. I stopped to check if there was a rock in his hoof but his feet looked fine. The neighbor has a tie ring, so I went on slowly to the house. I had...

Looking forward to hearing more about Shaddy. I like his name!

I had an idea to make a doll with a gourd head. Her body is cloth. I planned to use twigs for arms and legs, but when I saw this old, rotten wood I thought it would be more unique. May have to reposition the doily pocket. Have not made a doll in a long time, so it was sort of fun.

You and Peanut got a workout!

Two miles with Billy yesterday. He got ahead of me and I was doing the turn to change direction; he was slow to turn and I tripped over his hind feed. Splat on the ground. I could feel my brain jarring and my teeth jar. Billy stood there looking down at me and Pepper came dashing over to...

The buyer was originally from Ontario!

Harness and bridle sold. Someone from only 50 miles away wanted it. Their baby girl is 4 months old and they are planning to drive. She have a 2 year old filly to train. Horse folk cannot start too soon. So hard to see my harness go. Still have Dapper Dan's bridles.

There is quite a lot of adjustment. Shipping to Canada might be as high as $50.
