We kept our horses in yesterday and they were not happy. Our horses get turned out almost everyday. Anything less is unacceptable to them. The youngest horses have the hardest time the next day. All of the horses want to run and buck but the older horses can control themselves until they reach the pasture. [...]

Hearsay had a colt this morning. Andi went down to check on the horses when we heard a horse banging the wall at 4 am. We thought one of our horses was cast but it was Hearsay trying to give birth next to the wall. She was having a little trouble pushing him out. It was [...]

Our mare, Weaver of Magic, finally had her foal. She was bred to Contucci and was two weeks overdue. The average gestation for our mares has been 350 days. She birthed at 364 days. We are still working on a 'C' name for him.

Today is beautiful. It was supposed to be stormy but that will probably come later. I will try and get a good soaking of the arena while Andi is gone. It's probably time for me to add more magnesium chloride. I'll have to spread compost on some other day. The fields are too wet.

Today I committed myselft to six loads of recycling. Actually it consisted of spreading six loads of compost out on the fields. A load is approximately 9 bushels since that is my manure spreaders capacity. It may weight as much as 1000 pounds. Horses generate a lot of manure and waste bedding. If you wait [...]

I spent half the day on the road. The first monday of the month is my day at Habitat for Humanity. I usually combine this with some grocery shopping and other errands. In the afternoon I went back to writing content for Legacy Farm. I ended up scanning part of the ISR editorial about changes [...]

I have been working on updating the content and code on Legacy Farm website. I have been using a couple of tools to clean up the code, Topstyle, Dreamweaver 4, and W3 validators. The content is a slow process. The biggest holdup was figuring out a new format that I could parse into a rss.xml [...]

Time to pay bills and catch up on government paperwork. I was disappointed yesterday when I found out that my PIN had expired with the SSA. They seem to really want small businessses to file electronically but expiring the PIN without notice and forcing you to re-apply is not user friendly or efficient. Now I [...]
