Pony sold quickly!

Just a day after I placed ads in 2 horse/pony sale places I got several responses from the one in Equine Now! A woman and her 2 daughters made a 2 hour drive down to see her and were so pleased with her behavior and appearance that they decided to buy her and I got a check for her along with her gear. She road off in a blue horse trailer with a net of hay hanging in front of her. The girls are experienced with horses and the mom was very knowledgable about her confirmation, what she needed, what condition the gear was in, etc. She had been raised on a place that had 20 head of the same type pony so she knew what to look for. The pony went to a place that has 3 other horses in an organized 5 acres so she'll be ridden daily and trained for trail riding, probably for halter showing too. She's the perfect size for the 12 yr. old girl and didn't give either of them any trouble. I felt like I had done prep work for her to go to them because it seemed like a perfect match! I think she will get all the attention and training she needs and will be very happy where she is now...quite a relief to have the escapee where she belongs now! I felt very happy seeing the girls take charge of her and their confidence put me at ease about the transition.

The kittens are growing and 4/5 of them are friendly, 2 more so than the rest, one is an attention hog like Schroedymous! They hide from midday heat or rain under the house, porch or vehicles but are often on the porch ready for attention, food and water. The only one I see venture out into the yard is Schroedy on his way to or from our trailer out back...he found a way into it and has claimed it as his home since he is no longer allowed in the big house due to spraying. He hasn't sprayed in the trailer, I think the former action was to claim the house since we have brought kittens into it, whereas none of them venture near the trailer, so it's a safe cat haven for him. He can be found napping on the rockers or sofa section in there at any time and welcomes human visitors!

Uh oh, I hope he didn't gnaw his way through! What you say about the spraying is very true..my mother has a siamese that doesn't make any mess as long as she is only around the halfwit white fluffy cat. But, she can't stand my brother's cats and will pee outside of her box to claim parts of the house.

Towing Irony - 5 Misadventures In One!

Homesteading Blog vs. Televisual land Trip Away From it All - Travelling In the Rain and Eating at Denny's Comic Strip Idea - 1st Church of Whatever Cat Food Doesn't Really Taste Bad! The Irony of NOT Towing So many misadventures in just one day! I had to list them in order to remember them all! I was trying to decide what to do yesterday, while skimming various blogs and comics and emails and facebook, etc. I was down to the last ones and had saved this particular blog for last, because it's usually like 'saving the best for last'. This specific one I find interesting is by a woman around my age, who knows how to do alot of homemade things, lives in Aussieland and even has tutorials on how to do things right! She gardens, cans, makes homemade soap and bread and other baked goods, raises chickens, the glorious list goes on! It sounds like alot of work but she manages to be somewhat self sufficient, something very admirable these days...a new trend that used to be...

Unimportant Appointments (A poem or a song, written by me)

I'm a no-one In a nowhere town Sitting with my book And my gas station coffee On a gazebo step At the library park. The cars and trucks whiz by They don't see me Even if they did Even if they know me They don't care. They're too busy Racing to nowhere To get to their Unimportant appointments With everyone Who doesn't really matter. The sky is gorgeous The rain clouds moved on The trees grew their shade For us to sit in To rush through To drink our coffee And read our books And race our vehicles To nowhere in a rush For our unimportant appointments. The church bells toll To remind us of the time They echo heartbreakingly Beautiful notes Chiming the time for us For anyone who cares to listen. Are you paying attention Do you even care Or are you busy rushing Whizzing by Do you hear Do you see Do you care? *I was told this song reminds someone of the song by Simon & Garfunkel - Homeward Bound
