     Why the manure icon?  Because I've spent the last two days shovelling Six+ Months worth of manure out of the girls' paddock.  This is what happens when you have record snowfalls all winter that prevent you from cleaning the paddock on a daily basis; Sooner or later, that stuff has to come out!  The only saving grace was that there was a bit of

A hear wave in Canada... So it got all the way up to 65F?

I'm with Xander on this one... Summertime here in California means 100+ temps.. and I HAVE shovelled manure in that weather.

If you are looking to get rid of it, there are people who will pay for all that stinky stuff. I remember my mother used to pay $50 for a pickup truck bed full of it that she'd then spread on her garden.

If you've got a front-end loader all the better.

Or you could just post up some ads in the free spaces available saying "free manure - you shovel and haul" :D

I do have a FEL on the tractor, but I think with all the farms around here, there's more than enough "fertilizer" readily available.

Someone got a little over-zealous once though, and took my garbage as well! I can only hope (for their sake) that they didn't just split the bag open over their garden without checking it first! ;)

The theory of ponydynamics begins with the somewhat crude observation of Freud that childhood development may be broken up into a number of stages, the second of which, from ages 2 to 4, comprise the anal or "shit-oriented" stage of childhood. These ages are only approximate, of course. It is at about this stage of childhood that the parents among us will recognize a common verbalization of their young

And thus the parents of city-dwelling children were delighted with the arrival of Furreal Friends Butterscotch and Oreo ponies! :)

Just remember parents - the pony's head is not attached when you take it out of the box, so unless you want a "Godfather Moment" on Christmas Morning / Child's Birthday, take the thing out of the box and assemble it the night before! ;)
