Well, you know, there is a lot of things to do like making sure everyone has fresh water, food, hay and straw, and make sure their areas are clean. But, I'm enjoying every part of it. I love doing chores.

Although, the kittens have now started to wonder about. And it's scary because they're ALWAYS under foot! I didn't even know they were wondering around when I ALMOST stepped on one. I would have died! I missed them 2 or 3 times 2 have names. Fern and i don't actually remember the other. Any ideas? I like Whisper for a cat....Also what about a name for a bunny?

'Nip: no, do you?

If one is Fern, how about Heather, Moss, Lily, Violet - woodsy, flowery names - boys can be Moss, Stone, Brook ...

Glad you're having a good - if tiring - time! Ohh, do give that big Belgian a hug and nose rubs for me.

What's the unnamed bunny like? Color, size, ear orientation ...

Oo, great names Karen. There is now Fern, Storm and...Rowan? I think. 2 left to be named.

The bunny is gray with uppy ears....er, not floppy. I took a picture of her today. She's a nice bunny.

I'm back for the weekend, and I miss everyone already If I could take my pets out with me, I don't think I would want to come home!

We hitched Jethro (Fjord horse) to a "fore cart" yesterday. We took him down the road and trotted him a little. It was really fun. I'm getting more and more comfortable around the horses, and I may even ride Jethro if I build up the courage. (I took lessons for a few years but had a bad spill and have been afraid to ride since. I tried 2 times after that to get back on and had bad experiences so I just stopped.)
