April fools trick?? NOPE!

Hi- Most of my last few days have been spent at the post office.
Leaving at the Butt crack of dawn, and coming home after 5 pm. Tonight was like every other night this week...except for the fact that -We got a load of hay- and put in the round bales due to the weather changing:)
When I returned, My Husband said he would take care of it, and feed the horses.
I quickly accepted the thought, as I was exhausted(mentally)-LOL
I never thought this job would be a hard one to learn. I can't believe all there is to it!
I came in, finished dinner,sat down to eat, and was interrupted "NOT" by my grandkids but the shocking way my Husband stormed into the house yelling my name. He has done this on a number of occasions when something was a miss or "wrong" in the past.
I heard it alot last year with pony problems. It was a rough year last year. As most of you probably know. My new breeding mare,Ophilia aborted her colt. She never even looked pregnant. I did have her with the stallion however, even though I tried to seperate this a number of times. The mare-Not the stallion would get out.
I stalled her,But I wasn't quick enough and before I knew she aborted a dead foal... the rest is history.
Last year was a total nightmare. The same day lil weebles was born, My 3 1/2 year old stallion passed away.
Then in July Buni..
The reason I am telling you all this??
I was blessed today with a standing fawn colored soon to be silver dapple small colt from OPHILIA!!!!!!!
He is very tiny and very healthy, and has a mind of his own. we have caught him and the mare and stalled them both and tommorrow I am calling the vet for tetnus shots and a check up.

I am still in shock, as the mare and the stallion were seperated when she was in heat. he had gotten out a couple of times,But I nevergave it much thought . The ponies would get loose in the mornings and we would find them out n the mornings eating in the front yard. The mare was still in the pasture...

I am an experienced horse person , and I have been around horses all my life. I have never seen a mare hide a pregnancy so well!
Ophilia is 4 years old. She was the only breeding stock I had left out of my old bloodlines of dusty and my Buni mare..

I can't even express in words how thankful I am.

I thought Brian was playing a late APRIL FOOLS trick on me.

Newest work!

I want to move back to Texas!!

LOL- I bet that is what my daughter is thinking......

We have been snowed in for 3 days now and Its starting to clear out today! This is the most snow we have had in 4 years!

This truck was cleared off the day it started snowing and if you look close your can see how tall the snow is compared to my daughter- hahaha

Not your typical Christmas!

WOW! What a week or more..... like what happened to the last 2 weeks?

Just the other day I was thinking to myself..." WOW"-the kids will be on their way home. "I need to get busy"!

I have been feverishly cleaning House,wrapping gifts, cleaning out my overly messy,too cluttered of a studio... so my daughter and my 2 grandkids could move in. My daughters husband will be flying back and then leaving for Iraq .

The are going to be living with me for the next couple of months until the army releases money for a place for them to call home.

the last 2 nights were sleepless ones. I worked on Restorations and packed up the last few things that I could before christmas.

Something kept bugging me in my dreams and uneasy feeling of worry...Stress makes me the person that I am, I actually thrive on it -But this kind of stress had me a bit uneasy.

I love this time of year,But I have to tell you that I was almost sick with worry those last couple of nights.

Saturday evening came and I had been calling them off and on.

I was thinking to myself, that they should be arriving around 9-11pm. I was trying to keep myself busy.. baking Christmas cookies and helping Lil "B" with the Icing.

As I turned around to ask my hubby something about the kids ,the phone rang......

On the phone was a frantic voice, with a screaming baby in the background! My heart sank as I realized it was my daughter. She was frantic and all I could make out was that they had wrecked...hitting black ice.

They were turn around pointed in the opposite direction on the side of the road, when another car hit them just as my dughter had cleared the guard rail with her 2 month old infant in her arms when another vehicle also hitting the black ice plowed into the front of their vehicle!

Her husband ,the 3 year old and their pet dog were still in the vehicle!

As the other car hit them-the kennel flew up into the air letting their dog escape in an instant. They escaped with no injuries!!

Thank God no one was hurt except for a few brusies and a couple of throbbing cranial lobes... One of which was mine!

As far as we know , the vehicle is totaled and the U haul trailer may have played in fault of the wreck as the hitch broke,But we are not sure of anything at this time.

My christmas wish was to have my whole family together and It miraculously came true!

Thank you Lord for watching over my children...and yours.
