OK... I am awake now....
I may have company today so I need to dust off the sheets in my guest bedroom. Seriously! I haven't even opened the door to that room in a long time. The room will need a cleaning and some fresh bedding for two. She and her daughter.
This is the friend that is going to sew the elven cloak for me! She wants to see the movie so she can see them. She hasn't seen the movie, and will hate it, but wants to see the cloaks... Actually maybe she won't hate it, I sent her a picture of Aragorn (for purposes of cloak example) already that she liked very much!
Her daughter (10) is the city kid that I always encourage to go play in the woods, and we almost always get in a pony ride on Bay and some other ways of getting her hands and face good and dirty.
I am actually in this woman's will to raise her daughter if something happens to her and her husband (neither have close relatives). She said to me, "but don't tell Katie! - She has so much fun at your house she may plot our death!" LOL
How is everyone here this morning? Are folk around this weekend in the hobbit hole?

Hello.
To: Rocko
So Rocko is around! Good! - Weekends are sometimes so quiet here!
Quiet News day over at TORN.... I just went over to find us some news to chew on... nothing very interesting!
What's new with you?
To: HairOfTheDog
Just staying inside, trying to keep warm.
To: Rocko
I know what you mean, it is 35 degrees here.... Brrr....
I am late getting out to feed the ponies their breakfast... I better go before they get surly. BRB
To: HairOfTheDog; Rocko
High of 81 predicted for today although it's a bit muggy.
To: 2Jedismom
Do I live near San Jose? NopeDOH!! I knew you lived in Tulsa, because my sister lived there for a while a couple of years ago and loved it! I was thinking of a DIFFERENT homeschool mama and projected that thought onto you! LOL!
To: Overtaxed
Well, all things being equall, I couldn't cope with muggy in the fall...
I get to break out all my favorite sweaters!
Dagnabit! - In addition to cleaning the guest room, now I have to go take hay back to the feed store. Moldy. yeesh. I can understand and cope with a few musty bales when I get cheap prices on a truckload, which I haven't done yet for this year. When I am paying premium prices by the bale at the feed store, I better be getting premium hay.
Moldy hay could kill a horse, if a horse were hungry enough to actually eat it.
To: Rocko
Thanks, Rocko, so it's really more of a novella, I guess?
To: HairOfTheDog
I like 81 but could do without the humidity. A cold front is supposed to get here sometime next week. Moldy hay? Bummer! Someone forget to apply fungicide?

"I am actually in this woman's will to raise her daughter if something happens to her and her husband"
That says alot. It's touching, also. My kids are in my will to go to my twin brother (and vice versa), 'course they're pretty well grown now. When we were kids, my brothers and I were in Mom and Dad's will to go to their trusted friends (and vice versa), too.
We're lucky when we can have friends like that whom we can really count on.

I played Grimstock along with the Celtophile CD. Good thing I have a C whistle! I learned the stupid thing in G but it's in A on the CD. Grrrrrr!
To: Overtaxed
Someone let it get wet. This is moldy deep inside, so they baled it wet. Farmers know when they are baling it wet. And I understand how devastating it can be when fields get rained on during cutting....
Cattle can eat it. But cow hay is half the price. Dammit I hate it when they try to sell it as horse hay. Horses can get really sick. Like rats, they cannot throw up if they eat something bad. Whatever goes in has to be digested, which makes them very susceptable to poison, and moldy hay is as bad as poison.
To: HairOfTheDog
Yeah, I would get mad at that. Silly me to expect people to do their jobs right!
To: HairOfTheDog
I think I'm ready to go back to that "incompetent co-workers" story line now. :)
To: Sam Cree
She wrote that up when she was planning a trip to Europe with her husband last year. She started getting very nervous about the trip, and what might happen to her daughter if something went wrong. It was touching! - I was flattered.
To: Overtaxed
Is there poison involved?
To: HairOfTheDog
Grab!
