Thank you to Lisa M. for donating about 25 bales of straw and old hay. We're using it to bed the shelters for the winter.
Thank you to Jennifer (from Full Circles - a Yahoo group for free stuff) for saving all the shredded paper from her office for us - mom picked up ten bags of shredded paper on Monday. Cross-cut shredded paper makes wonderful absorbant bedding for the stalls - and you can bet no one will ever put your VISA bill back together again after it's been in a stall!! It composts really quickly, too.
We've had snowy days, cold days, and apparently we're going to have some warm weather this weekend. Finnigan and Cinder are out of quarantine now and are turned out with Reba's herd.
Mom came over and baked gingerbread and shortbread cookies.
Natasha and I decorated the gingerbread - I did the fancy icing with mom's decorating set.
Stripe and Whisper spend lots of time napping on the dryer and looking adorable. Although they're officially barn cats, they get to come in the house to eat and sleep.
Finnigan and Cinder both need blankets when they're outside. They're outside for longer now than when they came.
Finnigan likes to be brushed and fussed over. He's such a good boy! We're looking for a good home for him. Finnigan fell asleep when Yvan came to trim his feet - he's definitely an old pro. Cinder was unsure, but behaved wonderfully considering she'd probably never had a farrier touch her feet before.
Both Cinder and Finnigan still come in at night since they don't have good coats.
Thank you to all of you for all your support this year!
