Just got done working my way through an unbelievable stack of dishes.. Four kids and their dad'll do that to you! Guess I shouldn't complain.. THIS TOO SHALL PASS.. then possibly I will miss all the commotion!
We have a new horse on the premises.. it's my daughter's but I hauled it here from downstate just over a week ago..Yikes! Her dad agreed to her getting it but the one she had had to be relocated.. the new horse is a beautiful ex rescue, ex thoroughbred mare, Tousle.. aka Tally.. what a horse. Came from real great bloodlines. Our daughter found this horse searching for weeks on Craigslist for 500. Didn't have a clue what kind of horse even, lol.. anyway it was kind of a nice surprise to learn it's history by searching for info online about her pedigree.. geez! Her sire placed 3rd in the Kentucky Derby in 1980! He almost placed second coming from way behind.. He was even given the label Horse of the Year of California.. that's incredible to earn THAT title.. Her sires half owner was Jack Klugman of Quincy MD or 'Oscar Madison' of the Odd Couple.. how interesting.. she herself won at least 60K in purses.. Guess once they stop winning $$ for their owners they're discarded or 'scrapped'! Not many want an ex race horse for pleasure. Guess rescuers of them have to retrain them. She's just turned 16 and still has plenty of life in her.. She's gray like her sire.. was born dark with light hairs and changed over time to now what is a 'flea-bitten' gray.. I have four pics from her younger days.. Neat pics. She's a sweet thing and has a very pretty face.. I'm kinda tempted to hoist myself on her back one of these days! Might have to with the price of gas skyrocketing the way it has been. The daughter sold the one pony horse that was too short for her this afternoon yay, so leaves us with 2 large hay burners and one soon to be a large hay burner! OH.. and the one on the way and expected to arrive this August! That's exciting...so....just messing around with the horses and our horse crazy daughters for now..a bit and cleaning up the yard of manure, deer hair! Wool . painting outbuildings...holy, there's no end to the work on the farm in the springtime, fairly easy to work yerself ragged! Sure feeling my age these days! BUT, also my very favorite time of year. Thank GOD it's SPRING! Can't complain about the winter.. it's crazy weather.. spooky, really. These are weird times we're living in. Hopefully all the snow and freezes are now history! Hard telling, if you don't like the weather in MI, hold on, it can change drastically in a matter of hours.
I can see some saddlebags in my thoughts for projects.. not sure what kind to make yet. I really like the babiche bags that PA's wife Liza turned me on to making. Fairly easy to make lace of deerskin rawhide and weave it into a mesh bag. Been on a knitting jag lately also. Our place could stand a good spring cleaning and i'm still knitting up cotton washcloths..LOL. So.. that's my story and I'm sticking to it! You?
