Well, Winter continues and I find it annoying lately! It's been sub-zero off and on for a couple of weeks...........Horses are coping well enough and just got my hay delivered to find the delivery cost has gone up 50%, oh well.........I'll be starting the girls on their 2011 Equine Wellness Program soon. Jenny, the new goat has mixed in well with the boy goats......Everyone seems to be getting along. Nothing really new so far. Steve and I are planning another trip to England in April for about 12 days this time. We have our tickets and we'll be getting our hotel and car rental next week, hope there's something left as we'll be there just prior to the Royal Wedding. Too bad we won't be there for that, but we will be there for Easter, that should be fun. This time Steve thinks we may try and get to the Isle of Wight........One place I haven't been. It will fun to see Joseph again, he will have just turned two years old when we get there. And our son, Thomas and his girlfriend of many years are expecting, due sometime in the summer, which will bring us back there again in September. I feel uber overwhelmed with this now, taxes will have to be done, packing, hotel, car, don't know if Zoe will be here to care for animals. Not sure what her next steps will be. She's waiting to hear back from Americorps, Teach for America and Grad School application at Madison. We'll have to fertilize and de-weed the pasture in March before we leave, and once the ground starts melting I have about 7 fence posts to dig out and I need to find a solar powered electric charge for the pasture fence, since Kola has snapped the 4 X 4 fence post that held the gate between the arena and paddock , hence the removal of many posts and the need for new electric charge......ugh! I cannot wait for this cold winter to go away!

Horse Saddles For Sale From 1922
As many of you know I love old history stuff , and over the last year I began buying old Sears Catalogs.
Back in the 20's you could buy just about anything for your farm through Sears including horse buggies, harnesses, fencing, even chicks.
So as I was looking through a 1922 Catalog I came across this page of saddles you could buy and thought the bloggers who visit would appreciate not only the prices but also that everything seemed to be included in the price. Just click the image for full size to make it readable
Also check out this page from the depression years which allowed a farmer to turn a Model T into a farm tractor, Turn Your Model T into a farm tractor using the Thrifty Farmer Attachment
