Falling Asleep by Firelight

Last night, I didn't sleep in the bedroom but in the living room. The fire burned and it warmed me from head to toe under my blankets. Let me just say, I think that the best way to fall asleep would be with every door and window wide open on a rainy night with a blazing fire. I would snuggle under the covers with my favorite cat, Keaton, on my pillow. My body would be warm but my face would feel the slight breeze blowing and I would love it. Some day I will do that. It will be amazing.

First Curry Comb.First Hoof Pick.

On the long road to a horse. I'm getting equipment that you don't have to measure a horse for. Here's some of the things on my shopping list:
Dandy brush
Lead rope
curry comb check ( :
hoof pick check ( :
poop rake
mane and tail brush
sweat/mud scraper
soft brush
I'll add more when I think of them. In the meantime, shopping list suggestions?

Plant Sale!

Today I went to a plant sale. I got:
1 male Hardy Kiwi (which is worthless without a female plant. I hope I get one soon.)
1 clumping bamboo plant
and

1 green timber bamboo plant!
Finally.

So Many Horse Choices!

I'm looking at breeds on the interweb and I just found the Gypsy Vanner. They're strong, docile, and easy to ride. They can also drive. Plus those beautiful manes. I love all three of the breeds I've found. Which one? Which one indeed...

I'm Back!

I've recovered (mostly) from my cold and feel up to writing today. I have changed my mind about which horse breed I want. I now want a Clydesdale. There's one for sale, online, fairly near me, for $3,500. He has a great temperament, and he is trained to pull carriages. I want him. So bad. But there is no way possible for me to get a horse right now. Sigh. Besides, I would need to think it over. Plus, it seems like he is trained for Western, and I ride English. And there's the fact that I'd need to have the time for a horse. And he's probably way more advanced than I am! But still...

Still Infected...But Alive!

So I won't be writing much, still. But I will say, I got some of the flower seeds for the chicken garden in the mail. Black Hollyhocks, regular Hollyhocks, bachelor's buttons, normal Organic Chives, and Sea Shells Cosmos. I must admit, some of these flowers are mostly for me, myself, and I's enjoyment and eating!
