    It's so frustrating to see people losing inches everywhere when it's such slow progress for me so I have to remind myself some people are short so the same weightloss will have bigger impact on someone smaller. It still baffles me when somone 60lbs lighter than me wears the same size. I don't know why it's so hard to remember this.

    Yesterday afternoon, clouds moved in, parts of the metro had brief downpours.
    The farm did not get rain but the clouds were nice and the heat became bearable for a short time.

    Thanks!
    My ex has been working really hard out there.
    We have 3 old mares left from the herd we used to have.
    Talk about work!
    It’s like you wrote in your post about your friend with livestock.
    Constant work, constant worry.
    Animal husbandry is not for me, lots of heartbreak to go with the joy of seeing foals born.

    I feel so fortunate that we have the farm.
    It’s right out of city limits and it’s our little slice of wilderness.
    I love the birds, the trees,
    the ticks not so much, lol.

    And speaking of crazy country things

    Since I wasn’t able to go for a bike ride today I decided to drive over to the school track to walk/run and on my way home I got stuck behind a horse that got away from the Amish.

    I had no idea what to do so I called my girlfriend and she said just grab the reins and say whoa. I told her she was *kitten* crazy.

    I stayed behind it until another car passed me and went alongside the horse and that *kitten* horse started racing the car.

    At the corner an Amish girl jumped out of the passenger side and tried to grab the horse but he got away.

    That was the corner I turn on so I don’t know the end of the story. I hope everyone’s all right

    Started the night off keeping company while my friend fed the horses & cows and a BOTTLE BABY!
    3062jy4dkirk.jpeg

    The last time I visited a farm, I got mud all over a favorite pair of Ferragamo loafers.
    The reason I was riding on the back of the ATV is because I was wearing suede slides.

    & you’re right. It’s dirty, uncomfortable, unending work. Which is why I only visit. When I first moved to the country I thought I would want to do some form of farming. I had read a lot of books. The reality is just…

    In the interest of deromanticizing farmwork:
    she cannot leave town without finding/hiring competent people to care for the animals. She doesn’t do dairy so it’s not as bad as some other farmers but still.

    That calf is being treated for scours and his name is Big Mac. She might keep him to keep the heifers company. But they are Angus heifers that she will breed. They are food.

    While she fed and gave meds and applied fly repellent, we debated the merits of cauterizing horns (she’s going to let his grow)

    and she was telling me that as soon as he is over this bout of diarrhea she’s going to band him (a method of castration).

    That girl works 45 hours a week at an outside job & she spends the remainder of her time at her barn. But it’s the life she chooses. It’s got to be for love

    I know you didn’t ask but you’re absolutely right about the Ferragamos


    Eta: also before she had proper plumbing installed she got E. coli from her cows.

    ..... you had me at "Big Mac".

    We had one of those nostalgic conversations tonight.
    The good times when our son was little, us in our 20s.
    We laughed a lot.
    It was a really nice change from the usual listening to him complain about business.

    Yup. 45°F/7.2°C here last night. 48 now.

    I thought I might go out and enjoy exercising in the brisk air but sometimes it’s nice to stay home & do nothing for awhile
