Where's the hay?











The horses here have free access to mixed clover-and-grass hay, so they aren't hungry. But during this cold snap, Cliff likes to give them something a little extra: half a bale of alfalfa hay every morning.

This is the sight that greets us now, when we head out to take our walk. You'd think they were starving, wouldn't you? (Click on the picture for a better look at their hungry faces.)

Finding new, interesting blogs

I've found the best way to find interesting blogs on the Net is to find one journal... just ONE... that you love, and visit the links to blogs he or she has listed on the sidebar.

One of my favorite jumping-off places is A Homesteading Neophyte: I have yet to find a bad blog in her list of links (yeah, I'm there too, which is a real honor). Find her HERE, scroll down, and stroll through her favorites on the right-hand side. Of course, many of her links are country-oriented, which may not be your cup of tea. But it certainly is mine!

I was led from there to My Journey to Simplicity, which took me to Hillbilly Housewife, which has lots of suggestions for saving money on your food bill. And check out Living On A Dime, while we're saving money.

Anyway. Homesteading Neophyte is taking me to some wonderful and useful places. And I appreciate that.

By the way, am I the only one having problems leaving comments on blogspot today? On most of them, if I click to leave a comment, I get this message:

"We're sorry, but we were unable to complete your request."


Oh wait, if comments aren't working here, you can't let me know, can you? Oh well.
