Hi Friends! I just noticed a rainbow in my picture. I didn’t see it when I took it!! So now is your chance to make a wish! This river is so pretty. I usually see ducks and geese but the other day, there was nothing visible.

This is the grass I put in last year and it did absolutely nothing and this year it’s nice and tall but only one came up and I think I planted for plants. It was probably because of all the rain we had.

Boston

Hello Friends-

Boston, somehow got an abscess and I have to say it was disgusting and it hurt. He could barely walk on it. He probably got it from all the rain and mud in the field. The poor boy had to stay in his stall for a week. He was good though even with his diaper he had to wear on his hoof! We also had to soak his hoof in warm water with epsom salt twice a day.

He’s back outside now. The vet gave him a quick check up and he healed well.

On another note, this is what happens when I step outside a minute!

Sven is always finding new things to do!

Well water problems continue…

This is not the well but it’s the old water tower. It was the source of water on the farm in the 19th century.

This is our well now. The pump is 150 feet deep.

The pump and the water contraption in the basement are both broken. We are now is the process of getting a whole new well. It will probably be next week. The good news is that he hooked up the new pump so we have water except in the barn. It’s a process for sure!

I heard a cute joke today. Why did the wedding cake go to the doctors.

Because he felt crummy!! hehehe

Stay safe if your in the hurricane path.

Is it Fall yet!

Two cords of wood all stacked!

It only took two days to stack all this wood! We were supposed to get the wood in November, but they called and had it ready early, so I took it and I’m glad it’s done.

Our wood stove was out getting fixed this summer because in late spring, the top popped off of it while it was burning and filled the house with smoke, nothing too major, the fire wasn’t roaring but I’ve never seen anything like this and surprisingly enough the wood stove was still guaranteed after 10 years because it was some sort of defect.

You can see in the picture below how the tile popped up.

I really can’t make this stuff up. On another note, my well broke last night so we have no water. The well company was closed today so I have a funny feeling we will be out of water for a week and my neighbor who is kind enough to let us use his well water so we could give the horses water and have it for the house.

More to follow on the on the well situation.
