My trustiest of steeds, Sassy the frassy, turns 30 tomorrow, April 3. In 1993 when she was born, I was 11 years old. I visited her hours later and she has been by my side from coast to coast ever since. Many of you know she almost died a year ago. For a horse to make it to 30 is no small feat. I’ll be hosting a livestream birthday party for her Internet fans tomorrow. Time TBD. Leave any questions below and I’ll be sure to answer! (Also the words on the cake are spelled creatively because a certain producer ate the letters.)
This was so fun to watch. We had lots of rain overnight and the rodeo arena was soaked today. Most of the kids loved it, though a few weren’t a huge fan of being covered in mud. Thankfully there are many hoses at the rodeo grounds!
I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, it’s chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
