Darla's official foaling thread.

[Eagle]

hhmmmmm can you post a pic of your home Jessica? It might make it easier

 

[cassie]

hehe love all these pics,

hmm can't decide either, would love to see house pics!

please?

 

[jessj]

Lots of pics! First pic is the foyer and dining room. My house doesnt really have a "front" or "back". It sits by itself up on a hill in a 10acre field. But there is a main highway on one side (wich i call the back and everyone else calls the front) and a smaller coutry road that you actually access the house from on the other side (wich i call the front). Its funny how tiny it looks in the pics!! The columns on the "front" of the house are made from 12x12 posts....that gives you a size reference! The other two pics are a candid shot from my wedding reception ( i have only been remarried since last december, and bought this house last november) and a family pic!

YAY! So excited to be able to watch Darla soon!

Beautiful house and beautiful family. Both sides of your house look like they could be the front lol

I like Windy Hill Farm

 

[jessj]

New udder pics from this morning! Sorry they aren't great. Bless her heart...she has hay stuck to her udder, but she doesnt want me to get it off!

 

[jessj]

Sorry, just wanted to compare...this is yesterday and today. I've gotta go get some more test strips today. I ran out last night.

 

[MeganH]

Geez... as if she could get even more full!! LOL Can't wait to watch her either!!

 

[jessj]

Ya'll are gonna laugh so hard when you see D on camera!! Last night in the dark everything was black and white on camera...today in the daylight her seafoam green stall looks like neon green on camera!!!

Jess I love your house - just perfect and very cosy looking.

The family pictures are really special too. Thanks for including them.

Darla is moving steadily towards showing us her beautiful baby! I hope you can get the cam up and running before she foals.

 

[jessj]

Thanks Anna!

Do you all that are on marestare have public cams or private?? I feel like i know you guys and dont mind sharing the link here, but i feel kind of undecided about making it a public cam so that just anybody and everybody can see me out feeding in my lovely pajamas every morning?!?

 

[jessj]

i am trying to set up marestare and it keeps telling me that the fms url is incorrect. The instructions say that it will be provided by marestare...so do i need to wait for an email from them or ???

 

[LittleRibbie]

Jess, yes,you will need to wait for heather. She will post a link and you need to be there as its only good I think for 30 min. She then logs in or hijacks your computer and does it all from her location..she takes control of your mouse and sets the color,viewing all the computer wiz things. then you are set to go. If you set private IMO and will be more trouble than its worth b/c then you have to link to other computers. Really no one cares what you wear...I was very self conscious at first but these are all really good people and all they want is to see a beautiful baby...and to help watch for you...i say...make it public and have fun with it!!

 

[Equuisize]

Your house is very neat. I don't understand the term 'dog trot' - is that a style common

to the south. The remodeling done is wonderful and it looks very homey.

The family photos just add to showing it's a real home.

Darla is progressing -I've never tested any mares milk so not sure why her numbers aren't

dropping yet as she sure looks like she's moving in the right direction.

Definitely getting closer!

Looking forward to seeing you in some cute jammies LOL

 

[jessj]

Thanks Nancy! Dog trot houses were pretty popular in the south during the mid-late 1800's. They are built with the kitchen and living room on one side of the house and the bedrooms on the other side with a large open breeze way in the middle. It sort of created a natural "air conditioning" Our "dog trot" or breeze way was enclosed many many years ago and that is now the foyer/dining room!

Great pics Jessi, your house is beautiful. It is hard to think of a name, when I made my pastures I had far too much clover and it really worried me so hubby suggested the name Clover Stables and I have a 4 leaf clover as my logo.

I wonder how the others found their names?

Darla is making great progress.

 

[Lindi-loo]
