Hi. I'm just gobsmacked by this weather. I have plenty to do but I don't want to do anything but go to the barn. I'm re-riding (is that the term?) after not having a horse for almost 30 years. At 66. I'm half-leasing a spotted draft horse named Duke. He's big oaf and I've been taking things very ssl...

I went to the Midwest Sheep and Fiber fest in Jefferson, WI this September. I don't knit, spin nor have sheep. It was still fascinating -- all of it. My sister decided to come at the last minute (she does knit) and thus BIL had to come so .... I had a relatively bored man in the back of my brain the...

Be careful vacuum packing down. Somethings you can completely suck the heck. And it's way fun. Feathers ... No. Reduce to half volume only.

Very thin down (I think) jackets are all the rage. No more balloon styling.

Clearly this is hitting close to home for you CT. I'm sorry for whatever you have been or are going through.

Woost2

Gorgeous. Rest well, sweet boy.

Have you picked a time of year?

Grilled cheese and tomato soup were the American public schools' homage to Catholic meat free Fridays in the '50s. Friday lunch was either fish sticks (loved 'em) or grilled cheese and tomato soup. Always. My fav is Deli Deluxe sharp cheddar (which is, in fact, American cheese with flavor--no plasti...

Thanks, Steph. I'll FB you.

Just spent 2.5 hours digging/pulling quack grass out of my garden plot beds and paths. Wasn't in all that bad of shape. Not done yet. *sigh* But 6 of the 8 beds are prepped and composted and/or planted.

Woost2

Well, then there is Google Earth Pro. Does anyone have this?

Woost2

Bummer.

Anyone know how to make a google maps satellite shot good enough for a photograph? 8 x 10 would be great.

My sister, BIL and I are in the latest shot of our cottage. Kayaking. It would be great fun to have the photo. Intellectual property notwithstanding.

I don't know about planting leeks for winter. I've heard they can winter over if they already exist but I don't know what you get in the end. Ah .... there are two cultivars. We need to plant them in the spring. The late season ones can go into winter. But you can't plant them in the winter.

I have planted garlic from the local health food co-op which came from a local organic farm. Worked fine. Also shallots. Do not buy garlic from a grocery store. That will have been treated and is probably from China. Some garden center have different varieties available, but ours are well out of sto...

Pretty good year altho early-ish hard frost did in a lot of unripe peppers. Now we are back to 70s. Still have brussels sprouts, tronchuda and russian red kale and a ginormous collard plant going. My peppers and tomatoes always have a lull when it is too hot to set fruit and then come on strong late...

Is there a way to put a motice out to your community about him? He might come to his owners.

Woost2

Yes to former GVF.

Woost2

Isn't he lovely!

Woost2

Google is your friend.

Take heads apart. Leave paper on the cloves.
Prepare bed
Plant fat side down, six inches apart, two inches deep.
In Wisconsin we mulch heavily with marsh hay, say "goodnoght" and walk away.

Hey OneTrick ... why does your avatar keep showing up on my FB page in the ads column? It's been driving me nuts. Where have I seen that horse??

Woost2

Huge grin on my face this a.m. heading back to the barn after venturing further afield with Duke. He had a small snit going up a hill that was taking him away from visual contact of the farm and more important, his pasture with his mates. That got him a boot and he settled right down. And at the top...

Ahhh ... She's by Adanac! My all time fav haffie had the same sire. Athletic horse with three good horse gaits. And a sweetie.

Woost2

Is it by any chance Angelina GF?

Haffie love??!!

Yikes. Amazing no bruising. Bet you heel uo fast.

We need the equivalent of a like button so I can like all these wonderful introductions. BTW, Chenders, I love your browband! Thanks! I wasn't sure if I should go with that much bling for a gelding but I think it suits him :D What I love is that is fits him! I hate hate hate droopy browbands. :x Th...

It makes me sad that: 1. people are smirking and 2. anyone would care that people are smirking. My dear friend did her Century Ride in 2008 on a Hano/AA mare she bred. It was just lovely, not a dry eye in the audience and a great little brunch/party followed. It was a great goal for her, not to keep...

I don't know how new the bridle is. It's in good shape. His owner grew up on a boarding stable and is very organized. Bridle goes in a bridle bag. Lead rope gets coiled like the RCMP. Grooming box arranged just so. We aren't doing any trotting outside yet. He's a clod ... I'm sure he would trip. The...

My dh doesn't treat train and it didn't take any of mine long to figure that out. Even the worst of my muggers don't bother to show him their tricks because they know that he doesn't have any cookies so it's a waste of time to try to "operate" him. I'm hoping this is the case with the own...

Hello! I'm 66 and had not ridden except very occasionally since my TB was retired in 1988. And I moved from the mountains of Colorado to Lincoln, Neb. Worked in the horse industry for decades but wasn't riding. So, in May, I half leased this guy. Duke1.jpg Wasn't even looking. Or thinking about it. ...

I thought I had joined in 2000 after the USDF debacle, but when I wandered back in 2004 I couldn't find myself. So I reupped as Woost2. My dad had just died and my brother was battling pancreatic cancer. I was living alone in my dad's house trying to figure out what to do -- stay there (it had never...

I don't know about the new version of Windows, but to save a photo you have to download it first.

Is that a viewfinder on the Powershot??

It's the little graphic icon that marks a saved site. On the bookmark bar and in front of the URL.

Facebook is pretty hopeless for threaded conversations.

My 9 yo who always was Mr. Cast Iron Stomach started vomiting this year. I can count on one hand the number of times he vomited in the previous 7 years. Then all of a sudden randomly but as much as three times in a week. Vet put him on enteric support. This stuff -- Stardard Process ... He had one v...

WTF people? I've been stuck on 169 for well over a year. (And, yes, I have given up.) It is one where you have to collect three stripey candy combos, which is very hard. Got them on several occasions but never had even close to the number of points required. FU Candy Crush! Zuma Blitz is my go to --...
