Hey, Tricia, thank you!

My first husband rescued an Irish Setter that showed up at his workplace.  We named him Pilgrim because it was at Thanksgiving time.  He was a gorgeous dog with the attention span of a turnip!   English Setters are gorgeous dogs, too.

We're doing well - just added nine more chickens to our flock - that makes 13.  We're gluttons for punishment.  I've spent time the last few days just sitting with them to monitor any overly aggressive behaviors.  The newbies are still youngsters, not old enough to lay but not baby chicks either - more like gangly teenagers.  It's entertaining to watch them.

Just finished making a batch of dewberry jam from berries I've picked on our property.  Hope to make a cobbler with remaining berries tomorrow.  Ahhh, the excitement of country life!

I'm always tickled when our rescue contacts acknowledge who Barbaro is - makes it somehow a wee bit more special.

Hi Linda

Just sent my donation to Above and Beyond. Spent some time looking at their website and they do great work. I let them know that it was a donation from our FOBs.

Still thinking about the Derby and how exciting it was to see Rich Strike win. Just amazing!

Take care and thanks.

Thanks, Amy.

I'm sure you've seen the aerial coverage of the Derby which makes Rich Strike's win even more dramatic.  What an exciting race!

Thanks, Patty!  

 Hi Linda:  i just donated thru paypal!

The Derby was so much fun this year: such a fairy tale- horse racing needed this uplifting story for sure!

Take care

Thanks, Marilyn.  I didn't know anything about any of the horses this year and almost didn't watch but I'm sure glad I did!

Awesome!! Hope the chicks are doing well!

Barbaro will lead the way...
