Thanks for asking, my friend🙂

I have bad days and decent days. Trying to occupy my mind with some home improvement projects since gardening season is long gone. I miss being outdoors; mostly I miss my sweet mare.

How about yourself, Fran?

Who is sweet mare? I also garden, big time. front, back and sides of the house. I miss it too. Not to mention going to garden shops and buying flowering plants.

My Morgan mare, Angelina. She passed away not long ago at age 29.

I never knew how much having her distracted me from the fuckeries of life until she was gone 😢

She was my best friend and confidante.

You mean your horse? Pardon my denseness, but never heard of Morgan mares. Was she actually stabled near you? What about that doggie? Never heard you reference Angelina and if you did I probably didn't know what you meant.

Hi Fran

A mare is just a lady horse 🙂

And the Morgan is the oldest American breed of horse, developed in Vermont.

Yes, I kept her here on my farm, partially in my back yard.

I haven’t had a dog in many years Fran, but I have eight rescued kitties— all spayed and neutered of course.

Oh , I just heard Feral scream, I think! 🧐

Sorry, I remember you referring to her and assumed it was a dog. So sorry to hear she passed. Didn't realize you lived on a farm in the states. Not all that long ago we had 4 dogs, just one was an old shepherd someone threw away. Once I reached that number my neighbor told me only white trash has that many dogs. A charmer. I got me a tee that said you never can have too many dogs, and I told him it was a warning. Take care, Fran

You sound like a terrific doggie mom, Fran 🥰

I get flack for having so many kitties, too. When someone makes a remark, I tell them, Careful…only witches have this many cats!
