And a lovely clear day- no smog or smoke- You could see Mt Tam from Mt Diablo- a very unreal occurance. You could see Twin Peak from Oakland-<br />BUT- it will be 120 here in the summer, I can tell!I'll be wining big time then.<br /><br />PS - How is your pup?Vaquerogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367676563270560606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733128449626531145.post-73342933948422464602011-02-04T18:20:03.910-08:002011-02-04T18:20:03.910-08:00I wish I could. It just keeps getting worse. Ice,...I wish I could. It just keeps getting worse. Ice, ice and more ice and now a blizzard on Thursday. And I keep thinking about my foal next year. How can I wean her to be all by herself in this weather. I thought that all the global warming folks would chime in. We are in a mini ice age with a global warming summer. I don't know what to do, except wish we were all in California where the horses are shedding out.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829925970369556886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733128449626531145.post-7043816575195240472011-02-04T15:09:17.054-08:002011-02-04T15:09:17.054-08:00If you can figure out how to influece those weathe...If you can figure out how to influece those weather gods, let me know.

Each and every year it gets worse. All I can think, we are so done in that all we can do is believe that we have the gross karma to be living in the times when everything changes. This stuff has happened before and it will happen again. Hold the thought that you and your horses will get through this. Because you will.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829925970369556886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733128449626531145.post-24663264422192752082011-02-03T18:03:54.971-08:002011-02-03T18:03:54.971-08:00I'm hoping for a nice early spring and not-too...I'm hoping for a nice early spring and not-too-brutal summer here too. Last year it was so hot and dry out hay yields were a quarter what they should have been. No-one up here is set up to irrigate as we typically don't need to. Here's hoping!<br /><br />To get hay that I can afford and that my horses will eat all of, I am having to buy large square bales, that are 3x3x8 feet each and weigh over 800 pounds. Now there is so much snow I don't thing the delivery truck can even get in, so I have to go back to paying a fortune for small square bales, unless and until this snow ever melts. Sigh...DarcChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18230643206461906913noreply@blogger.com
