32 to 90

  The beginning of this month the heater was still on and my power bills were through the roof. Now, the middle of the month we are hitting 90 and digging out the fans.

 Summer isn't due for another month! So what are the temps going to get up to this year? I believe we hit 114 last summer. Yikes!

 I think it's kind of scary how they play with our weather. So many folks don't realize they go up in the planes and release the 'rain gas' - then it rains a few days later. Hasn't anyone wondered how the weather person on the news can predict the weather so accurately. {He knows the rain planes flight schedule}. 

 Oh, I know some folks would think "She's crazy". But did you know that it's illegal to gather rain water in our state. Why? Because they know the gas rain in concentrated portions could be hazardous to one's health. So they don't want you to gather and drink the water. 

 The thing that scares me, is how out of control it's gotten. Global warming isn't just because of pollution. It's because of how many trees we've destroyed around the globe. It's because of the garbage in the water. It's because we play 'god' with the weather. It's because we've turned at least a third of the planet into a garbage dump and the gases let off from the garbage contribute to the cause of the heat wrap we're feeling.

 In the end we're either going to die from the poisonous gases of the garbage, or melt in the heat of global warming....

 Crazy thoughts I know...

Oh Well,

 We were supposed to have a storm tonight. We had one little crack of thunder and that was it. Bummer. We need the storm. I love watching the lightning and the smell of the real rain ! Still hoping.....

The Next Horse

 OMG - Yakima Rez Orphans When I first found out about these babies I just about jumped in the car and headed over the mountain. I have been wanting a baby horse to raise up for a few years now. Finding out about this beautiful Lady, Suzanne who created and runs the Sugar Shack Horses orphanage for these babies, made my day! 

 So I started doing my 'homework'. 

Little babies do better in 2's.

Time - Babies are currently eating every 6 hours. Little bit older ones going 8 hours. She has some yearlings that are almost weaned? if not already.

Fencing - Lil Star my Shetland found every single hole in the fence and when my board host thought she had them all fixed. Lil Star, made new holes. So a baby is going to need secure fencing for the nursery.

 Housing - We have predators and the babies will have to be 'locked' in a stall in a barn at night for protection.

 Training - If we're going to do this, it requires a consistent commitment to training. Every day - rain or shine - warm or cold . . 

 Star Bright ~ my girl. How is she going to respond to having a little one around and 'how little should we go?'. 

Well, as you can see, I haven't jumped in the car and headed over the mountains YET.

First ~ I need to get an oil change on the car, brakes checked, 2 new tires on the front... and a day for the trip!

We have tried a few times now to find the 'second horse' ever since Buddy passed. Getting the pony was probably not the smartest idea, but I really thought we'd have a few more years before everyone outgrew her. 

We need a horse that can grow up with them...

I believe if something is meant to be - it will work out to happen. So, as we plan and prepare... I did get good news in the feed line that they would not be rounding up the horses and there will NOT be any more orphans at this time, so these babies are it for this year.

Yay!!!!!!! for the horses.  Sadly, it means I might miss out on my baby, but I was looking at the yearlings today and thinking a yearling is a year closer to being ridden than a baby! We can always look at babies next year, because I'm sure the round up will happen again Sadly.

A baby horse is a 30+ year commitment! They are cute! They grow up! These babies have been through enough losing their mothers at birth. They don't need to have a cruel life or end up in an auction on a truck bound for slaughter, so THINK before you buy ANY HORSE. PLEASE!!!!
