The twelve days of Christmas

They're not here yet, but I'm getting ready for them. A little positive thinking can get a mule anywhere, right? Here, then, is my projection for next week: 

On the first day of Christmas, FarmWife will give me a magical carrot-cake tree.  
On the second day of Christmas, FarmWife will give me two turtle bars and a magical carrot-cake tree. 
On the third day of Christmas, FarmWife will give me three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the sixth days of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the seventh day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the eighth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me eight mares a-flirting, seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the ninth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me nine scones with frosting, eight mares a-flirting, seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the tenth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me ten bales of grass hay, nine scones with frosting, eight mares a-flirting, seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me eleven stalls for sleeping, ten bales of grass hay, nine scones with frosting, eight mares a-flirting, seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, FarmWife will give to me twelve tons of sweet feed, eleven stalls for sleeping, ten bales of grass hay, nine scones with frosting, eight mares a-flirting, seven oat-bowls brimming, six donkeys braying, five golden fields, four coffee cakes, three French crépes, two turtle bars, and a magical carrot-cake tree.


Twelve tons of sweet feed: FarmWife says I'd die of it. I say I'd die happy.

Here are the Cloud Dog's X-Rays

Here, for your edification, are the X-rays of dear Paisley's leg. There is, apparently, no new break (since his Monday siezure) but there is, of course, a great deal of abnormality caused by years of living with a shortened ulna. His pronounced lameness, the vet says, may temporarily improve. Unlike me, Fenway Bartholomule, poor cloud dog can't expect much in the way of a full recovery.   Not having the $$$$ for surgery to fuse the joint, we are working on making some sort of rigid splint to support the limb and prevent further degeneration. That is, the humans (with their space-age material inventions and their opposable thumbs) are working on making a splint; I am working on giving cloud dog brayful looks of support and encouragement every time he totters into the yard to relieve himself. As always, he fears me (me?!) and keeps his distance.  Ears to you,  Fenway

Saddle fitting nightmare

I wonder if they had to pay a saddle fitter to tell them the Schleese didn't fit.

The tree is currently set to "wide" and can be fully adjusted by a saddle fitter.  See the Schleese website for more details. Asking $1200 OBO, a significantly reduced price compared to the current market value of $2000 for the same saddle in pristine, like-new condition. NOTE:  The "saddle rack" is not for sale.  Heehee! Please contact us for more details, serial numbers, questions, or pictures of the saddle.  This is very nice, quality, comfortable and correct saddle for a fraction of the cost, even after the r...
