Hey jacquie!! It's so good to 'hear' your voice here. I haven't blown away yet, the storms seem to have wandered off to the pacific side of the country these last few years, not sure why but I'm not complaining. I had a bunch of medical stuff in 2015 too and I've decided that 2016 is going to be a whole lot better for all of us! Group hug

Today was busy here at the farm. We started to plow and get the ground ready to lay over until Spring when we begin to plant the new trees. Here is a shot of my son in law plowing a section of the front field.

It was also riding lesson day for the little neighbor girl (niece of daughter and SIL). She is in second grade and cute as a button. Tony the Pony is so old and retired but we let her have lessons on him just to keep him exercised. She fell off today. They were cantering and he must have stumbled and she went right out over his head. Both are fine. Just part of learning.
This is his first year he is not being shown, he is retired here. My friend ask me to take him since she was moving, so of course I could not say no. We all take turns caring for him and he is lovin retirement. Here he is with his winter coat and beard....
Tiime to go and do more exercise ...I hate exercise and the physical therapist said I must do them daily, so I am being good since it is the only way I will get my strength back in my hip and legs.

I thought about buying a lotto ticket today but then I didn't leave the house. My house that very cozy next to the 25° temperature outside.

Yes! We haven't bought any in a long time, either... but I figure with this one I'll finally be able to get that huge greenhouse that covers my entire garden and then some Hilarious! Hilarious! (except it wouldn't be a "greenhouse" -- if I had that much money I would definitely call it a "conservatory." nodding )

I know the odds of winning are astronomically small -- but don't the odds of it continuing to roll over, given the number of tickets being sold, have to also be incredibly low?

Ginger, that is wonderful. Takes a lot of work to get there and I am anxious to see how she does. What does she ride? English, Western, Dressage, Equitation????? I just love a kid who is a dedicated equestrian. They will usually be very successful in life because they have learned responsibility and work ethics early while taking care of their animals.

My daughter won 38 cents on last weeks drawing. Her office had loads of tickets and until they divided up the winning that is what she got. Rolling on the floor laughing I am a sore looser so I do not play. I need better odds than that.

Ken, my wise father said that the lottery is the tax for the stupid, but he still bought one every month. My daughter -in law said if they won they will buy me a house close to them, maybe that is not a good idea. today it is a nice day, I bought me a half of salmon and I am pigging out on it. It was only 4.99 a pound so splurged.
