Happy Earth Day, y'all!! The first three pictures I took at a cousins house earlier this month. The purple flower I don't know what it is. Second is pink dogwood blossom and third is apple blossom. The last two are internet .gif files. I hope everyone takes a moment to hug a tree, smell a...

Happy Independence Day!!🥳🧨🎆✨🎆🧨🥳 I've been a member for many years, but I've been on a, well, I guess a hiatus the last 3 or 4. So I'll bring everyone up to date. I'm learning to live my life as a single, 57 year old with a neurological disability. I'm returning to the REAL who I am, with my...

Hi y'all!! 👋👋 Julie in North Carolina, easing back into things after being gone for....ooohhhh...18 months or so. Life threw me a real tough curve ball, and I made the difficult decision to rehome my friend Spanky in January of 2019. I placed him with a wonderful family with homeschooled...

Could one (or a couple) of you kind people do both a pedigree and current owner check for me on this mare: Moss Grove Charity? Also, does she have any registered foals? I'd prefer an answer via pm please. Thank you in advance for your help!!

This year in NC, it's been cooler and wetter than any other since I moved here in 2007. I'm planting square foot (raised bed) gardens now. What vegetables do well in cooler conditions? Are there heirloom varieties anyone can recommend? What about flower varieties do well? Again, I'm looking...

I apologize in advance for not updating the previous thread. I decided to start a new topic since we started the new farm! I have changed our farm name to: Silver City Heritage Farmstead So far I've started chicken farming on a very small scale. I have one critical breed from the Livestock...

:saluteHEEEEEEYYY everybody!! Sharing my good news...and a bit of my 2016 plan. I've been approved for Financial Aid for an online class that is sponsored by University of California-Davis. The class is Search Engine Optimization Specialization, and is a Certificate course. It runs over a 6...

Help, help forum friends!! As of 1 January 2016, we are living on the property my husband gave me as my Mothers' Day gift last May. I'll post pictures of the travel trailer we're in (while we rehab the house) next week when I get my laptop found and unpacked. In the meantime, I need input on a...

Evening All!! We've gotten moved onto our permanent property. Spanky came home on Sunday (thank you again Paula!) All is well EXCEPT....... What I thought were pecan trees during the summer have turned out to be a mix of pecans and black walnut. I've been doing some research as I'm familiar...

Since we're in the midst of a move this Christmas, we've had to keep decor to a minimum. We've made a deal on the mobile home we currently own that includes a travel trailer. We'll be parking this on the property my husband bought for my Mothers' Day/birthday/Christmas etc. presents. In the...

I've been reading with interest Carly Rae's recent post. In her "When do colts mature" thread, she asks about conformation. During my approximately 4 years on this forum, this topic has been discussed, often with line drawings. I've started this thread with pictures of my own horses as an...

Hi everyone I'm starting this topic as I myself own a gelding who has sticking stifles. We have many threads that address this, with just as many opinions as to whether it is due to faulty conformation, genetics or both. There are ideas about what weight to keep the horse at, whether or not...

Happy Birthday Paula!! I hope you have a pleasant day, a surprise when you celebrate this weekend, and that you get a chance to feel special on YOUR special day. Julie

This guy is such a camera ham!! Check out this sequence of photos.... "Just a little siesta in the sun." "OH!! Did I hear a shutter click?!" "That wasn't my best side, try again." "Wait, WAIT!! You know that's still not my best side." "Hey, hey, just one more sec....." "Okay...

Well....started a topic and lost it....grrrr! Anyway, I've never learned to sew anything other than a button onto a shirt. I've lurked on this board enjoying the handcrafts, particularly quilts. I love quilts, with their rich history! Back to my purpose though. I was able to purchase a sewing...

Let me start this topic by saying that I'm grateful God gave me ENOUGH during all this. ENOUGH faith, ENOUGH patience and kindness, ENOUGH strength to hold my tongue. ENOUGH peace that I looked unbothered--most of the time. If you say prayers, ask God for what everyone else needs. For myself I'm...

Here he is, Running Springs Little Tree. He comes home this weekend and I'll have better pictures the early part of next week. I WAS going to wait 'til next week to share the secret, but since RYAN and REIGNMAKER were sorta picking at me.......LOL He's a five year old, a little disrespectful of...

Need to pick some brains here! While trying to justify the cost difference between a well-bred recognized breeders' horses and a craigslist "gimme" to my non-horse husband, I found a horse from this farm. He's in about the same condition as Scotty on the CMHR website. I'll be going to look at...

Well, the last several months, I've had very inconsitent access to this forum, and couldn't figure out why (see login procedure in Back Porch forum in the "stay out of the kitchen" thread). Tried clearing caches, histories, cookies (but leaving "accept cookies" toggled on), rebooting, with the...

HIIIII EVERYBODY!!!! Haven't been in to town with the laptop for quite a while, and my mobile device wouldn't let me log in to the forum. I have a suuuuuuper long list of comments, however, since I'm on a time limit today it's brief. Last September, Casper (my avatar horse) was sold to a...
