That's about all it seems sometimes. Not in a bad way, really, just sort of denning, not doing a whole lot and so not a lot to write about at length. I've been a recluse, mostly, I think one trip out to take the cat to the vet for shots and then do some shopping otherwise I stay on the hill. I am not housebound, the horses are outside after all. ~; ( Read more... )

Over a month ago. But Meadhran's been hiding from us, not wanting anything to do with us, until just two days ago. He started meowing at me from one of his hiding places, instead of hissing and growling, stuck his head out to be scritched and finally came out. Since then he's still somewhat skittish at times, but has come out, let us hold and pet ( Read more... )

So no, no Imbolg celebration here, we'll be doing it just before the full moon this month...which will still probably be early ( Read more... )

I finally worked with Saoradh Wednesday morning, just a little ground work. Mostly enough to say "see, we remember how to do this" and get him to stretch his legs. I've been horribly neglectful since coming down with the flu, with a bit of currying about our only contact other than feeding and medicating (which Aaron does the bulk of, too...I sleep ( Read more... )

A few nights ago I was doing my "six in the evening" routine. The riding variation. And I realized that the old Clucker aka The Amazing Brooding Hybrid was missing. Shit! Not to be found. Left the chicken house unlocked while I road in hopes that maybe because it was sunnier that day than it had been she decided to stay out late. Came back, still ( Read more... )

Well, I guess it is the weather that is affecting Saoradh. It rained last night, was overcast but not raining all day. Cool up here on the Hill, although surprisingly warm and humid downtown. Grass was too wet to mow so I went riding. Saoradh was perky as could be, most unlike yesterday. My boy shares my weather issues. But then it's light long ( Read more... )

I get glimpses of coywolves from time to time, but sometimes there are just brief moments that seem different. Today was one ( Read more... )

Despite staying up too late, I got up and went riding on what was a really gorgeous day today. It was warm and those little blue fuzzy bugs were flying about, I still haven't found out what they are, but they're out. Since the big snow storm we've only been riding in the pasture and around the pond, stopping at the other side of the pond where the ( Read more... )

So, tonight I go out to the barn to feed Saoradh a treat and prepare his next meal as we'd be home late from an assignment. Turn on light, the sound of rustling is heard! I expected the raccoon that has been hanging around or maybe a Pomeranian to jump out at me. Much to my surprise I see a black cat butt high-tailing it out of the barn ( Read more... )
