Tonight was the first time in a month and a half that I'd been to Singers; I got dropped from the group for being sick, so I had to wait past a concert (which...
I've kept the old, battleworn cat post even after replacement just for statistical purposes. How long can one possibly last? They still have a ball with...
It was back up on the housetop today with a bucket of plastic roof cement, as my often-patched roof is leaking again. I hadn't been up there in over a year,...
Just back from the first rehearsal of my new temporary group, or rather 1/3 of it, doing the Messiah in April in Branson. The other 2/3 of the group are...
Today's signs of spring: 1. We have SHEDDING!!!!! Just beginning, just a few hairs, but it is starting. 2. Breeding season all around horsedom is...
Oh, the weather isn't up to my definitions yet. That's why I'm so happy to see other non-weather signs. No snow right now, but chilly and brisk, cold winds...
Question: 2... how long is the gestation period for a horse? ________________________________ From: Deb <debph1999@...> To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com ...
Call it 340 days, but a few weeks either way is nothing to worry about. Mares can be sneaky, too, on their behavior before. Some give you lots of warning,...
And signs of spring continued: The first blooming daffodil of the spring opened today. And signs of spring continued: The first blooming daffodil of the...
And the fruit trees are on their way! I got a tracking number from Stark Brothers this morning. I'm continuing my gradual hole-digging and should be set so...
Darn too bad Hannah isn't a digger so she could help. Edie  ________________________________ From: Deb <debph1999@...> To: erdenheim@yahoogroups.com ...
The fruit trees are here! Hot off the truck. I have done nothing with this big box, to the extreme disgust of the cats. I'm knee deep in end of pay period...
Hay Man of the Century was just backing into my driveway this afternoon with a full, tall load of bales on the back of a borrowed flatbed pickup, his truck...
Nothing more valuable than a good neighbor. Mine came over last summer and cut down my weeds. When I offered to pay for the fuel for his brush hog he told...
The fruit trees are planted, and I am very glad I had the holes ready in advance. Just planting was enough to set my hands off. Nearly as much shoveling to...
Here's one of them, the plum tree. The white round concrete things are to attempt to make it noticeable so my brother doesn't walk over it in the dark. ...
Also hopefully tasty. They are fruit trees, after all. They're actually a bit odd looking. My gardening and landscaping experience is very limited, and...
You have found you a gem of a man. What a lovely person God has sent your way. Gotta love those country folk who lend a hand wherever they see a need. Edie ...
Sorry for the distance on this shot - it was taken across several hundred feet. The cows next door came up to the fence line today, and Toccata was...
Another great one on my ridge. Nice point of living on a ridge; you get awesome and fairly unobstructed sunrises and sunsets both. Another great one on my...
A second box from Stark just arrived. That should be the missing blueberries and the Snow Fountains, which I'm especially interested in seeing. Holes...
There was actually a surprise in that box. I opened it up because I thought I'd get out the Snow Fountains tree and plant that while the horses' water was...
The blueberry patch is done, not that it looks like much at the moment. Of course, none of this stuff looks like much at the moment. Also planted the extra...
All sorts of life on Erdenheim today on a gorgeous spring day. No first-leaf award winner yet from my extensive plantings of the week, but there were actual...
Wow, it's nice to actually meet places that practice it. I just got a message from Stark Brothers. When I opened the second box of stuff from them on...
