I went riding yesterday and I have come to the conclusion that I need to buy a new saddle. I hate the saddles I have been using. I have no idea what kind I should be looking for to match my criteria for proper stirrup placement, so I started a new thread. https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/i-need-saddle-help.38865/ I
hope maybe some of y'all around here will be able to help me out. Please summon your horsey friends to put in their two cents worth!

The saddle I'm using is hard on my knees. Also, the little mare I was riding yesterday decided to go saddle bronc on me when she got spooked by an old beer can that was laying in the grass. When she did that, the saddle fender pinched my thigh and left a big bruise. I hate that dang saddle!!

The baby bunnies are growing like crazy. I sold both of Munchkin's fuzzlepuff bunnies today. I decided I'm going to keep the red buck out of Posey's litter. I'm going to call him Opie. I worked some on my new hutch I'm building today. All I have left to finish is the nest boxes, doors, and roof. This is the first hutch I have made with a built in nesting area.

I'm beat. Goodnight y'all! Sweet dreams.

Merry Christmas y'all!

My family is so big it is usually impossible to get everyone off work and together on one day, so we rarely have our big family Christmas dinner on Christmas.... So our family Christmas dinner isn't happening until Saturday. My parents and grandma still wanted to do something special for Christmas day, so I somehow got elected to to make my famous lasagna. I was up until 2am prepping everything so I can just toss it in the oven this afternoon. I hate all of the prep involved, but I can't wait to eat it!

My grandma got me a VITAMIX BLENDER!!!! :celebrate:weee:celebrate I'm so excited!!! I've always wanted one! I'm sitting here enjoying a frozen banana blueberry smoothy for lunch as I type.

One of Wendy's litter still has a runny nose. The others still seem fine. I moved the hutch away from the others when I discovered the problem yesterday. I am praying that it is just a bedding allergy because the hay I bought was a bit dusty. :fl:fl


I hope y'all are having a wonderful holiday filled with good food and close friends and family... and maybe some cool surprises under the tree too!

I like lasagna as well and yeah, the prep time is an issue. Especially since I have to make 2. DD1 is gluten as well as nightshade intolerant and a vegetarian so she can't eat a regular one. And DD1 won't eat the veggie one. If I didn't prefer a traditional tomato sauce and meat lasagna, I'd tell DD2 "tough noogies, make yourself something" :gig

Oven ready lasagna pasta is one of the greatest inventions ever... At least I can't get distracted while cooking the rest of the stuff and overboil the pasta.

Yes and no ;)
Yes for regular tomato sauce type lasagna. Not so good for vegetarian without the tomato sauce (DD1 is intolerant to gluten AND nightshades). The noodles didn't cook because they weren't covered in "liquid" (I guess). Crunchy noodles in your lasagna is a no go.
