Novel

At approximately 42,000 words on my novel so far........ Need about 15-20k more before I submit it. THIS is shaping up to be one hell of a book. It is thrilling, pegs the "creepy" factor times 100, and is a  fascinating tale about survival........... Super exciting writing the book but thinking about the possibilities for it:). Just have to get it published, lol:).

Stinky Pig Scent Glands

Peeewww-freakin'-weeee! Just expressed my indoor pig's scent glands. They have four on the back of each front leg. When they need to be "expressed," they look like pimples and they stink. For an idea of the putrid smell, let me awaken the senses of my friends in the medical field. The smell is similar to those patients that don't wash between their fat rolls........... Uggggggggg........ Makes you wanna puke..... Happy Tuesday:)!!!

Wanting to Ride this Gal in a Christmas Parade

Soooooo wanting to find a close Christmas parade to ride this girl in this year..... She has come such a long way with me and I think she's ready:). Gotta love your draft horses! 

Horse Blankets

Temps will be getting down into the low 20's tonight. If the weather report calls for rain also, I will be blanketing my horses, to their dislike. I don't want one especially, fighting to maintain weight.... Uggg..... The "musts" of a horsey mom:). lol.

Farm Life

So happy our hens are producing even though this is not really "the" time of year they are super active. I had a busy day yesterday searching for eggs, getting kicked in the head by a goat (trimming hooves), and getting crapped on by a chicken. lol....... Not to count mucking goat and horse stalls:). Love farm life!!! 

Crazy Hen

Hubby can now add being pecked in the eye to his list of farm experiences. This hen was sitting on his shoulder yesterday. He turned his head, and she must have thought the whites of his eyes looked yummy. OUCH.......... Thank goodness I keep lots of animal meds around, lol. I washed hubby's eye out with visine and applied  Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfate and Dexamethasone Ointment (for horses) to his eye and bandaged overnight. Perfectly healed and no redness this morning:).
