Let's see... been just puttering around the house, looking for stuff on Craigslist to spend my garage sale money on... last weekend we took and entire large barrow load of apples out of the pasture and still every day I go out and make sure there aren't too many new ones on the ground. I at least spread them out and toss them around so they don't find them all at once, more like a treasure hunt.
Pony's into it. When I open the gate out there in the morning she high-tails it out there to look for them. :~)
This weekend we really hope to make a point of RIDING! I don't want to say it's our last chance of the year, but one of these weekends will be. It's already getting cool and threatening to rain.
Yesterday, the sweet little Peanut barfed up a stomach full of WORMS! It was probably the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. Gak! I wrote all about it, and the good news and cute pictures, are here: RE: Feral kitten thread - The escapees survived! - 2nd one caught pg 3!. The worms are on the next page. :~o
Becky, I hope your computer issues are over!
OMG those worms were the nastiest things I’ve seen in ages! And just when I was eating breakfast! >:-p But I was warned, so it was my own fault. I’ve never seen an animal throw up live worms like that either. They’re usually always coming out the other end when I’ve seen them. My vet likes to give the Drontal tablets to mine. They kill pretty much everything, including tapes so I just give them every few months since I’ve got barn cats and indoor/outdoor cats both. I think you give one pill to cats weighing less than 8 pounds and 2 for bigger cats.
I’m off work today because I’ve finally got some hay to pick up so I’ll be doing that a little later. It was actually baled yesterday but I want to let the dew dry off them before I stack them. I’m getting 100-200 square bales and 18 rolls of bermuda. The bales are for Tennessee and the rolls for the mares at the in-law’s. I’ve got enough rolls left over from last year to do the other horses at my BIL’s place until next year. The pasture is good enough that they only eat hay from November until around the end of March. By April they’ve lost interest in it entirely, so that cuts down on the number of rolls I have to have. I had been feeding hay to the mares year round, in addition to their feed, but they were getting so fat that I quit it this summer and they’re STILL fat so they must be getting plenty.
Well, I better get my butt in gear. I’ve got to go pick up my FIL’S 16ft flatbed trailer to haul the square bales on but I’ve got to unload a bunch of junk off of it first. Then I’ve got to go borrow a bigger gooseneck flatbed for the rolls. Then I’ve got to move a half full hay ring so I can pull the trailer in the barn to unload later. My FIL is going to be unloading the rolls at his place and putting them in the barn with the tractor so that’ll be a big help there. Sounds like a busy day. Gotta go...
