Happy New Year!

Seems like a very fitting day.  I had dreamed of getting Tessa back for so long, she came available, Mikey enabled me and here she's home again.  6 years to the day that she first had arrived here with me.  Now she will not leave.  She will stay with her big sister Heidi, and little sister Willow from now on.  

Dad and Aunt Lisa humored me and took the trip with me- for which I am super glad as Dad is a fantastic driver, especially with a trailer and in craptastic weather(which wasn't forcasted to come in until later!)

Willow was super happy to have me home again.  She and I are tied together and while I missed her I think she suffered worse than I did.  She moped around and wouldn't drink/eat for mom and Jess so I let her out to romp and roll after I got home.

Heidi makes Tessa look dinky tiny!  

But they are good friends, real quick.  I think both mares were tired of being alone.  

Another busy weekend

Another weekend of crazy adventuring.   NOT in order.  Just however this felt like uploading.  

 Picked up a round bale for Heidi Saturday afternoon.  The guy has these 5 x 5 's for $25 and I know Heidi likes them- I got one from him earlier this year. He said he should have an extra 5 or 6 more for me to feed to Heidi the rest of the winter.  Dad and I shoved it off the truck Sunday afternoon.

Saturday Morning, my milk jug with Epsom salt idea didn't work to keep her tank thawed so I had to go buy a tank heater and a new end for my power cord and get something in the tank for her so she could drink.  

 New End

 Slide the plug into the pipe to keep it out of the weather a little bit

I paid for 11 bales and actually ended up with a total of 13 bales.  12 for the bunnies and one for Heidi to eat since I hadn't gotten the round for her yet. Bunnies LOVE it, and Heidi inhaled a whole bale in less than 24 hours.
