It was back to horsing and projects today, with the weather being amenable for the first time in several days. Projects weren't so successful - my conclusion...
At feeding time tonight, Frosch edged a bit too closely behind Freedom, who had just been fed. Freedom, who is the fastest draw at Erdenheim and can kick like...
Racing the storm. I've never been one of those people who go out searching for bad weather to drive though just for the kicks, but tonight, Mom and I had a...
Another day, another submission. The weather today was awful, unsafe to do anything with the horses in terms of footing, raining most of the day. Therefore,...
Remember me, Monty? Deb tells me I'm getting to be a big, strong horse now, not just a baby, but I'm still the shortest one in the pasture. I still haven't...
very funny Deb! ... From: Deb To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 6:28 PM Subject: [erdenheim] EJ: May 5, 2006 Remember me, Monty? Deb...
The Erdenheim Derby was held this morning, on the same day as the Kentucky Derby. I was mowing hurriedly, racing yet more rain coming in, trying to get the...
In 1996, I went to the Olympics in Atlanta to watch the dressage. Couldn't afford tickets to another event as well, not even any of the other equestrian...
God works in mysterious ways but I knew it would all work out for you Deb. Kudos! Bonnie Deb <debph1999@...> wrote: In 1996, I went to the Olympics in...
Well, I received a response from the publisher regarding Steps. Gold medal for the fastest turnaround time for a publisher yet. Their answer falls into that...
And the rain continues. I think we're trying to recover from the drought of the last few years all in a few weeks. We needed it, but now we need it to stop...
Horses are moody concerning the weather. They stand outside in weather that has me cringing, forming a neat line of equine tents, hindquarters to the driving...
With the ground far too marshy to do any work with the horses, I let my imagination saddle up today and take glorious rides of possibility. I started with...
For the last several weeks, the theme song around my part of the world has been from Annie: "The sun will come out tomorrow." Unfortunately, as the song...
I finally got a good report on Missy. She obviously didn't think as much of my choice as I did, because she wasn't interested at all in the stallion. She'd...
May 14, 2005, a day that will live in personal infamy. I had been up at regular intervals throughout the night on foal watch, but Freedom, in spite of showing...
And I remember that so clearly myself Deb. Susan ... From: Deb To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 7:10 PM Subject: [erdenheim] EJ: May...
Missy is home. I set out this morning to go get her, and all the way there, I was noticing the high rivers and standing water in fields. Everyone has been...
Many years ago, I had a weedeater which suddenly expired. It absolutely would not start. You could pull the cord for 30 minutes, and it would not start. I...
(Yes, I know it's early morning.) The email was sitting there in my inbox when I switched on the computer this morning. An email from the publisher of the...
Buoyed by a nice but short lunging lesson with Monty and Frosch, I snapped the lunge line onto Sadie's halter for the first time today. Her lesson was longer...
Two steps forward, one step back. I think that's the definition of progress on a farm. At least it's better than the other way around, although there are...
Things can change so suddenly. In one second, perspective totally alters. One phone call, one email, or, as a few years ago, one unforgettable snap/swish as...
So difficult to believe it has already been a year. So much water under our bridges. So thankful that our paths have crossed. With much love, Bonnie Deb...
I never know when a story idea will strike. It may be while I'm driving, while I'm working, or even while I'm sleeping. Story ideas have woken me up from a...
Selling horses is like fishing with twenty rods simultaneously. You cast all of them into promising waters and then wait, and wait, and wait. Sometimes a...
Things are progressing. After a day spent mostly away from Erdenheim on various errands, I returned tonight to find a message. I can try out the proposed...
The rose is just below my bedroom window. I planted it my first year at Erdenheim, and after several years here, it is absolutely covered in blooms, spring...
Home extremely late tonight after quite a long day involving a couple of hundred miles and a wedding rehearsal. And it's all to be done over again tomorrow,...
I got home even later tonight than last night, but it was a good day, all told. The wedding went off with only a few peripheral problems, none of which...
