Sophia - 2018

[Chanda]

hooked the little tv back up, so we at least have noise box.
Called the store first thing this morning, like right as they opened.  I think I talked to the guy that sold us the tv, but as I didn't have a name, and don't recall what he said, I'm not sure.  Anyway, he said he'd hunt up the remote, and if he can't find the one that goes with the tv, he'll personally buy a universal remote and mail it out.  [At first he said, just come on in, then I said we live in the country, and I'm not driving 65 miles for a remote, then he said he'd mail it.  And, I didn't expect him to say he'd buy the remote if needed, heck, I'd pay the postage, we just want the remote without driving 65 miles.] 
Still don't understand how a different brands remote could/would turn on this tv and work the volume control, but nothing else; realistically it shouldn't work anything on a different brand.  And, I'll return the wrong remote next time I go to town.
So glad we don't have forum police telling us we can't discuss anything but mares and foaling in our group.

Dang Chanda...winter still has you in it's claws and you're not catching a break. I agree on the forum 👮 police, it makes it much more personal for me.  I feel like I really get to know my forum friends. 😊😊

Here's another name. Hell Coullee Simply Silverbelle. Then Belle your barn name. Hopefully she and mama are content with things the way they are. Also, that they stay healthy.

I hope the evil, late season 'lizard doesn't stick around for long, and melts away into the plains to support great haymaking.

I probably complain too much, I live in Montana, we have two seasons: winter and not winter, and winter lasts 6-8 months.  We don't plant outdoor plants til Mother's Day (I think seeds can go in sooner, but transplants are Mother's Day).    I'll take my cold and snow, and warm areas can keep their icky bugs, creepy spiders, and nasty snakes (we only get garter snakes and bull snakes, no toxic spiders (or insects or lizards).

Got the girls outside for a little bit while I cleaned the foaling stall, not an easy task with the water under the bedding, but it's clean for today.  Need to put a bit more bedding in, which is also part of Sophia's daily hay.
Got a couples of the baby, still haven't decided on name.

      Right back at ya, little girl!! 

It's not complaining Chanda, it's healthy venting. That's what friends are for, you know. To lend an ear when you need it.

Need a like button.

Absolutely right!  That's why we are all here for each other.  You don't complain, but sometimes you just need to vent, and that's why I love it here, too.

And WHAT A PRETTY LITTLE BELLE IN HER SPECIAL COAT!!  She is just precious, and gotta love her sticking out her tongue.  Between that and Sophia giving you the "stink eye"  I think I'd spend my time laughing at them!  She's REALLY pretty!

Thank you.

Me, too. He said he'd call when he dropped it in the mail, but so many people don't call, that who knows.
Even though it's small at least we have that little 19" tv for noise factor.

She's a little doll face!!
Names are hard to pick for sure..
Hope weather starts warming for you soon!!

[Chanda]

The temps aren't bad, but the snow and mud are plenty, so I'm inside; but Sophia and  baby are outside, I put down some hay for dry bedding, and let the girls out in the run for some fresh air and sunshine.
I'm inside working on tree skirts.  Have one pinned together ready for quilting and getting ready to pin the second one.

[dcwolcott]

That ALL sounds good!!!

[Chanda]

Two pinned, will do the other two tomorrow, I think I have enough pins. 
Temps are supposed to bottom out later in the week.  And, I'll probably have to go to town, as we're going to need more milk replacer soon, since I have two on a bottle right now (I try to save a little bit at the end of the year, so I have enough for a few days at the start of calving, so we have time to buy more if needed, hate to buy a full bag if we don't have a need, it's so darn expensive).   Going to wait til at least Wednesday, as that's when the feed store should have their truck come, so alfalfa pellets should come then.

Instead of cleaning and rebedding the foaling stall, I moved Sophia and baby back into Sophia's paddock.  The shelter had already been rebidded, and much of the snow had melted, there is still some ice under the old hay and poop, but she has room to move now.   Hopefully, the cold snap coming won't cause a problem.
