WooHoo! Rain! Wonderful, wet, grass producing, slow sinking in sort of rain, after a nice cloudburst to start in the middle of the night, complete with a Collie in my face suddenly =) Seagaze does not like thunder....
Thank You Jesus for rain!
It is hard to believe the first week of January is behind us. It has been a good week-my diet is going well, I have a buddy doing it this time and it makes SUCH a difference to have someone to hold you accountable (and you them) and to brag about the weight loss to (and cheer them for theirs). I don't have alot I want to lose anymore, but I am aiming for less weight on my knee joints, and thereby hopefully less pain. If you want to join us on southbeaching, let me know. We are one week into Phase 1...and I will be so glad for the addition of a slice or two of bread back into my diet next week! *laughs* Here I thought sweets were going to be the hard thing to give up!
I may have found a new, better hay source, will know this week. My first two bales from them, I am very pleased. Very good quality hay, which is SO important to the health of our horses! Always be sure you feed good, horse quality hay, clean, weed-free, without a trace of mold, no matter what kind you have in your area.
I am LOVING the new watering system I set up last week. It has made watering so much easier, and quicker! Whoever invented y connectors with shut-off valves, God bless you. 360' of hose later, a connector at the right junction, and all I have to do is turn it on at the house, and then the valve to whichever hose I am using....wonderful!
And I have a new cabinet for storage, that I love. If you need a reasonably priced cabinet, tall, that you can put a lock on, and is weatherproof, try the Sterilite tall cabinet with putty handles on Amazon. $80, and I'm wondering why I didn't do this sooner. It holds SO much. I have my first aid kit and grooming sprays/etc on one shelf, with room to spare, my supplements and wormers on another with room to spare, halters and leads organized by size in bins on another, clippers, show halters, and all things related on another, and tools, foaling monitors, batteries, rope, and all the misc stuff one needs around a farm on the bottom. Put a key or combination lock on the handles (they are designed for one) and you are good to go!
I hope your first week of 2012 has been a blessed one!
