It appears that those who call the Farmhouse home have been dealing with some painful issues. I have been most outspoken about my Rheumatoid condition and yes, I am feeling better,but, it's still a daily reminder when my body does not want to cooperate. Cliff is now nursing a bad back. It seems his golf career is in jeopardy. His hopes of playing on The Senior Tour may be dashed. My beloved black pony is dealing with a hoof abscess that doesn't want to heal and now Bella is following suit. She has a partial tear of her ACL and will need surgery to fix it. Her Agility career has come to a screeching halt. Poor little baby! So you see between the 4 of us we only have few good legs to stand on. My animals are such a big part of my life that it really impacts my daily routine when they are not sound. I haven't been able to ride Kitty in over a week,but, we meet daily for a hoof soak and a duct tape wrap and bonding time. I have been lucky enough to ride Miss Fiona, so generously offered to me by the owner of the farm where I board Kitty. I have a little secret to let you in on - I really love riding Fiona - it's an upgrade! Please don't tell the black pony, I don't want to hurt her feelings. And Bella and I have not been to Agility in over a month and won't be back until Spring. What am I supposed to do? Selfishly I want my animals to get better so I can start having fun again. Oh yeah - Cliff! He'll be fine :)
My pillow business had been busy so I guess I am lucky to have the time to devote to it. I have a few new designs that have been good sellers.
Don't forget ValleyPillows on Etsy!
There is a special place I want to share with you. I pass this on my daily drive to the barn and I think it is the most beautiful and peaceful scenery around. This bridge is on Mantua Mill Rd. and someone fills these flower boxes every season. Right now they are filled with Winter berry -my new obsession.
This is just one box. There are six in total and they are just breathtaking! I bought some and put them in my flower box in front of the house. That's my holiday decorating. We are all very excited for the return of The Number One Son!! He'll be spending a week here and we can't wait.
I want to wish you all a Fabulous Holiday Season, from our Farmhouse to yours.
Thanks for stopping by.
