Egg salad sandwich (hospital food) Well egg salad sounds fairly hospital proof! Here's a recipe from the Seattle Times many years ago (if yellowing paper is any indication!) - just a payback for some of the terrific recipes I've gotten here. It is very good and also vegetarian: Santa Fe Stew with C...

I'm so sorry to read this, Xan, I think I know this horse's breeding/background and he was a very exciting prospect. And all that nurturing and care just hones that bond with the your sweet Baby Bronto. You did right by your beautiful boy, setting him free from his body is the last right thing to do...

When we first moved to the farm and cleared/fenced the upper pasture, I was very concerned about the bears which we knew were out and about (and soon discovered, after clearing that pasture that an "animal highway" ran through the upper pasture). One sunny August day, the alpha mare/broodm...

We've had a large male bobcat hanging around this past spring/summer (at least), some of his pics are above. We may have a new sheriff in town, we're getting photos now of a slightly smaller male and he is much less reclusive than the previous bobcats we've had around. We are getting a lot of pictur...

Although I don't have the horses anymore (almost 2 years now), I still dream about them often. A more surprising dream was one I had a couple of weeks ago where I got to ride California Chrome! I remember thinking about when the gate opens needing to wrap my fingers in his mane. I then got on him an...

One of the sweet moments in my life was the summer afternoon I came home from a complete hysterectomy. It was a perfect afternoon, sunny and in the 70's, with a sweet breeze rustling the leaves outside. The lower pasture is about 40 feet from the sliding glass doors in the bedroom (which were open) ...

The Silence of the Dogs continues..... The goat people quite possibly heard my hilltop rant (mentioned in earlier post), as the dogs seem to have greatly reduced their bark-a-thon sessions. Wonderful!! Also, absolutely NO barn boom box since I vented from our hill! It's been a huge improvement, go ...

I'm so sorry, DJR. You're "taking care of" skills are being way overutilized these days. On an upbeat note, I had a mare suffer a moderate high front suspensory strain, and after going through ESWT, recovered very well from that injury. Donkey is working overtime these days.

I would happily donate $75 to anyone who needs some incentive. Seriously. Obviously, must be a good home, preferably someone on board. Did the narrator say there were 3 more??
Kelo - have you posted this to FB page? The more eyes the better.

Well, at least they stand on their tippy toes, or if that doesn't work, climb it.

Do you not have county codes in regards to this? We're on 6 acres with a bit of a "family compound" below us. By that, I mean that there is a group of 5-6 closely spaced homes and everyone is related. In the house directly below us (gently sloping hill), lives a 70ish couple with a covered...

I just finished watching Chernobyl. I really liked it. We just started this on HBO. It's very well done, and by the end of the 2nd episode, very compelling and disturbing. We watched 2 tonight. :shock: :shock: There is also a documentary (Nature??) out there about the wildlife that had moved back i...

I like #2 also! You could seriously glam class that up with a necklace/bracelet.

When my elderly dad who was suffering from Parkinson's (and had on and off lucidity problems) came to visit, we put these up for him. We never took them down. DH also put a star on his bedroom door to help him find that, too.

He looks terrific, DJR. Just another example of how important a willing mind is.

Such good news for Maia and you!

And so sorry about your little piggy.

They can't ever be let loose in an area with no fence. They are way too fast. Just like you can't stop a Lab from picking up sticks or a BC from herding, you can't stop a Grey from chasing/running. They are FAST. Very FAST! This reminds me of an incident 30+ years ago when I would go to a high scho...

I put down two mares 2 years ago this fall, one had really "big" hair. She was a dapple gray with a white tail. It was magnificent. When the vet euthanized her, she commented on her tail and keeping it. When I shook my head, she then said some people put them in their garden (vs. making je...

He's a pretty insecure horse, low in the pecking order. Right now, he likes to "grow roots" when he's scared, and he'll kind of mentally shut down if you put a lot of pressure on him. However, he's so food motivated, if I've got something to feed him, I can keep him engaged. I'm going to ...

DH and I just got back from summitting Whitney (California) car to car. It was a "walk up", but at 22 miles round trip, and an elevation gain of 6000 feet to 14,505 feet, it was a respectable day's work for a couple of oldsters staring at 70. Of course, now I'm thinking a more technical ro...

I'm so sorry to hear this. I remember that story and being touched by how much love was evident in their relationship. Condolences to her and all that loved him.

(On a slightly different note, wasn't there a wonderful picture from then of her first meeting with their adopted child?)

I'm not sure "graphic photos" does this one justice, what a hammer blow that must have been. Your vet is quite the seamstress (seamstor?). Jingles for healthy healing for Finn.

And for you, too. You've had a helluva of gauntlet to run lately.

Cut before cooking, what a great idea!

I think the portion control idea was the negativity in the previous discussion about cutting or not, but you slice roasts/hams/etc., so not sure I get that. Regardless, thanks everyone, it turned out well!

We're having some folks over for dinner Sunday and I have a "to cut or not to cut" dilemma. When you have a piece of meat, a large chicken breast, for example, is it rude to cut it in half for self serving? Nobody is going to eat the entire piece of meat (no teenagers, lol, all oldsters) a...

I like him a lot more than the first one, but a colt with a nose full of phlegm is not something I'd have a warm, fuzzy about.
