What did you do today?

[blackie's maiden]

Rough week. Worked for years to improve.pasture.from erosion and not much vegetation. Work paid off but heavy rains made.a.good.thing too good. Pasture lush to a.fault. One horse, 24, got blessed. Able to discontinue his "fat pills" (Manna Pro Sr. Weight Builder) and drop 3 feedings a day back to his previous one before he started.losing weight. Meanwhile our "air fern" Moonshine, a beautiful and beautifully gaited.fox.trotter. was inflating like a Masey's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon. She foundered before a delayed grazing muzzle arrived. Just sick. So now I got another special needs.horse. This one, I have to board at.the vet every time we want to leave the farm for a few.days because the only way I can keep her off.pasture is on her stall or one hour only freedom in the grazing muzzle while I clean stall. Plus special very restricted.feed, hay, supplements etc.

What a pain! Who ever would have thought green pasture and abundant rain would be a curse in Texas!

Cannot get square bales locally for her stall. No one can bale all this lush hay because it won't stop raining long enough. We managed to buy 11 bales from Atwoods at.$11.50. Ouch!!!

Trip to Ft. Worth to Lance today to get repairs.for.truck camper.for upcoming trjps.to NM and.WY. Backlog on repairs. Can't do it till July. Argh! Well camper so far.still usable but hope cracks.and.chips in old.skylights don't.start letting in the elements or finally crumble altogether.

OK! I'm done griping for now! :-)
