I always have good intentions of taking lots of pictures… of both special occasions and ordinary days… but unfortunately, I’m terrible at remembering the camera and often forget to take any at all. This morning I was doing school with M… (he was working on an especially hard subject… can you tell?) … while R [...]
FOR TODAY April 26, 2010 Outside my window… The sky is a brilliant blue, with just a few wisps of clouds. It snowed again last night so everything is dusted lightly with white… I am thinking… that with the sun so bright, the snow probably won’t last long. I am thankful for… a new day, and the possibilities [...]

So… Cody finally had his appointment at the groomers. I’m embarrassed to admit that just since Sunday I’ve made four different appointments for him to be groomed… and cancelled three of them. The first one I had to cancel because I couldn’t provide written proof that his rabies vaccination is up to date. There have been [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ It feels like we’ve spent all week running around. We’ve been out to Longhopes Donkey Shelter (just to visit, not to get another donkey), to Casa Bonita for lunch with some friends from our homeschool group, and to the riding center for lessons. We took Cody to the vet, and I think [...]
The past few days have been ones of endings and beginnings… Sadly, after my last post, Tilly continued to go downhill in terms of her level of pain. She had almost stopped eating, and her eyes reflected the pain she was feeling. The vet came out and said there was nothing more he could do [...]

…Joe bought me for a surprise. ` ` ` ` ` No, really…. you have to guess before I tell you. Here’s your first hint… It’s part of the reason I haven’t been spending much time at the computer lately. ` ` ` ` ` Ok, that probably wasn’t a very good hint. Here’s another one… Can [...]
Here’s what you would see if you drove down my driveway today… My new car is parked by the garage. Parked off to the side is Joe’s little truck, B’s car, my old car… and Tilly. Yes, left to herself, Tilly enjoys laying out in the driveway. Poor Tilly has been just miserable lately… her legs are [...]
FOR TODAY April 12, 2010 Outside my window… the sky is mostly overcast but there is enough sun to take the chill out of the air. The fruit trees are starting to bud, and in the flower gardens the first perennials are starting to peak up through the mulch. It’s been a long winter, I’m so [...]

We spent yesterday up in Fort Collins where R competed in the Front Range Challenge Horse Show. It’s put on by the equine dept of Colorado State University, and was a really nice horse show… We had a great time. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, which worked out fine because R didn’t have [...]

I think things are finally settling down with M and all the GI problems he’s been having… He’s on both regular stomach meds, and herbal/nutritional supplements and it seems like the constant vomiting has finally stopped. The GI doc really wasn’t much help at all, and if M starts to have severe problems again I’m going [...]
