Hi, everyone. Single mom on 40acres.
Looking to talk rural talk and maybe even make a couple friends? I can be very silly but I'm a mom to a comic teenage boy so that's my excuse!




The great and glorious center of your heart will burst wide open,
as if struck by a lightning flash, and you will become the vibration of Love...

Hi RR, Yes, it's cool but no too bad really for this time of year :D Although I love cross country skiing so looking forward to that.
I have 1 horse but want to get 1-2 more. I have a couple hay fields and large pastures so feeding is no prob.
I've got a dozen geese, few chickens,guineas, 1 mallard duck who has gone chicken and more rabbits than I can count.
Then there's my 2 dogs and 2 cats.
I had a pig once but my fencing isn't good. If I ever get that fixed I'll get some pigs and goats.

Lived in AK and WA for several years and did lots of cross country. *Lots of folks just couldn't understand that but of course they were more into the speed and glamor things. *Me, I was always looking to see how far out back I could get, quality over quanity. *

Hay fields means tractors and bailers and hay rakes. *Lots of critters as well so you must be a multi-talented lady. *Did the pig thing but it was a fight to keep em around as they were always bad about following their snouts. *Now chickens are my passion. *I'll usually start out each spring with 60 or so pullets and by winter the varmits usually cull em back to 5 or so but I do love my Reds.

Right..I like to ski around my fields. My mare gets a kick out of it. lol
I also go into the forest for some rough stuff.
I wish I had all that stuff RR, but I have a hayer that does that stuff for me. Maybe someday I can get my own though.
(not that I'm not multi-talented)
;)
wow, you must have a lot of varmits! :o well, they need to eat too.
The other night I had a nightmare that a wild boar was attacking me and I woke up when I stubbed my toe kicking the wall.

During the day I let my birds free range and they get down in the creek scratchin for bugs and the bobcats and coyotes get on em sometimes.

Unfortunately, we don't get enough snow to make a decent snowball fight so crosscountry is a non-event around here. I usually make a run to New Mexico/Colorado once or twice when the whites down. Of course most folks downhill so if find solitude with ease.
