When Life Hands you Lemons...

If we are supposed to make lemonade, then, honey, we have enough of a supply to last us well through Labor Day.

The horses are fine, the girls are fine. The husband is still alive and living in the same house. Barely.

Personal crisis up the wa-zoo.

THE one good note - set your clocks forward at 2 am. :) Spring is going to spring on us one of these days. Of course, our weather forecast is for rain, snow, sleet. But mostly rain at our elevation.

Horses, horses and more horses are in the market place and on the list for auctions. If you were thinking of buying or getting a horse, it's your time. People are having a most difficult time GIVING trained, sane, safe horses away.

Due to the economy, the lack of work, the foreclosures, the animals are on the first line of 'disposable' things in people's lives. If you have the means, support your local rescues or humane societys. If you can foster, donate, socialize, educate or volunteer, now is the time that we have the most need.

Hang in there. I don't think we've hit bottom yet, but hope that we are close enough to call it. Things will get better. They always do.

Be greatful and appreciate all you do have. There are so many out there that don't even have the basics.

So, while I am whining that it's not spring yet and the snow is still coming, those might be pennies from heaven for those that plow. Ignore me and my belly-aching. I truly have it good. And I do most humbly appreciate it.

IF you need help with your horses, go to www.newenglandequinerescues.com and find the help page. DO NOT let your animals suffer. There is someone who will help.
