...and have I
really not blogged since FEBRUARY?!?! Jeez, I'm such a slacker! Thank you Pony Girl for reaching out and giving me a little cyber tap on the shoulder..."Hello....you out there??" ;)
Yep, I'm still around! So many times I've gone to do a blog post, but have then gotten wrapped up in other things...sometimes it's really hard to find the time, huh? But I've been missin' y'all so HI!!
One of the things that has had me SUPER busy lately is that I've started a flower farm...can't remember if I mentioned that before. I'm totally excited about it, but it has been taking a ton of my energy lately! Not just the manual labor (I'm sitting here with SORE muscles), but also a lot of computer time has been devoted to it. I started a blog for it back in October and recently I've been working on a regular website and facebook page for it. Busy, busy! But fun! It anyone out there is interested in flower farming info, feel free to hop on over to my
flower farm blog! :)
So...here's a quick post to update y'all on the latest goings on...

My new favorite piece of decor in my house...a "twig" wall sconce from Partylite! It's supposed to be for candles of course, but what kind of flower farmer would I be if I didn't put flowers in it?! ;)

Spring is finally here! I just love when tulips start showing their colors!

Caspian's doing well, but gave me a bit of a scare last week when I discovered this
horrible looking scrape on his back leg! I was absolutely baffled as to how he would have done it...I really try to keep his pasture/shelter area free from any possible hazards. But you know horses! I finally had a lightbulb moment and realized that he must have scraped it on the farrier's hoof stand when he got his pedicure. He was really full of it that day and was being a bit of a pill. How I didn't notice it right away is beyond me, but it's healing up well and I've been giving it lots of TLC. I can hardly stand to look at this picture. My poor baby. It's looking so much better now, thank goodness.

The Wacky Weimies are crazy as always and are really enjoying the nicer weather and longer days. We've gotten back in the routine of our daily walks and all of us are loving it. I live for those walks. Lately, I've even been incorporating some skipping into the routine...'cause it's really fun and helps get my heart rate up! I
loathe jogging, but I could skip a mile any day of the week! I have to admit that I go back to walking if I hear a car coming though. I feel like Phoebe from Friends on the episode where she runs with her arms circling like wind turbines through Central Park. And I'm not sure that I want to be known in my 'hood as the girl who "skips" her dogs... ;)

Okey dokey, think that's it for now! But here's a little cyber flower arrangement for you guys...happy spring! I'll try to be back soon! :)
Glad to see you back! :) I just dipped my toes back in the blogosphere this week too...it's amazing how there just isn't time for it sometimes, huh? Glad to hear things are going well! Jealous your tulips are blooming already! :P
ReplyDeletewas wondering about you but so many of my fave bloggers are taking it easy these days. glad to know all is well! love your flowers! give us some tips when you have time...
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!! Sometimes blogging has to take a back burner in our lives!! I think a lot of us have cut back on blogging. I just don't have the energy to post much anymore. My horsey job is sucking all the energy out of me!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like things are going well for you. What a nasty scrape on Caspian's leg!! Hope it heals up quickly.
Flower farming sounds like fun.....well, the results would be fun.
ReplyDeleteOuch! to that scrape. You just never know what they'll get themselves into.
Glad you stopped in! Sounds like you've been busy- in a good way! :) Sorry to hear about Caspian's leg- I bet the stand was the culprit. MB got something like that last fall and it looked worse than it was, just keep it clean and disinfected and it should heal well!
ReplyDeleteWill go check out the flower shop site- good for you for doing something new! :)
I remeber you mentioning the flower farm sometime back. Glad to see it's "up and growing". Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteOou so sorry I have not been here is Sooo long!
ReplyDeleteI hope that scrape on Caspian boy is all healed and haired up again(Calm Coat) is excellent for that. I am using it for regrowing normal colored hairs on Wa's wither pockets again. I need a saddle that fits...going to go the extra mile for this too!
I loved your "Stick's" from Partylite..and what you've done with them too...bet they are even different now! And the Tulips have been replaced by...hum...you'll have to take a new photo!
Thanks for stoppin' in today! I was so bummmmmed-Jo could not come today...but I did go for my own ride though..redeemed the time. I was looking forward to her coming though!
