My Bella " Moose " had a vet check.
I have been so worried she has been loosing weight lately
Doc floated her teeth and drew her blood, so far it looks like lack of protein.
We vegetarians get kind of droopy when that happens
graining her and adding alfalfa to her diet until she packs on more lbs.
whew!
whew!

You're eleven, I'm seventeen, I think it works for both of us!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in love, Ashley is a jumper and I can't wait to show her your photo, it's awesome, good for both you and Fiona.
Love the photos of the field with the irrigation system, what is planted, do you know? Cotton and peanuts are coming in here, but the sod is slowing down for the season.
Have a beautiful week ahead Camilla, and congratulations again on the shop, it makes me smile with happiness for you.
Hi Tracey, I think it is either wheat, dill or potatoes- they rotate the crops. Have a great week to :)
DeleteThis post made me smile. I am so very happy for you, so much goodness in your life right now. Enjoy it, you deserve it. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim xo
DeleteCreme de Menthe ice cream, sounds and looks divine. We sometimes pour creme de menthe over ice cream but your would be so much better. Love all the photos of your rural life. Great pics of you, you're so pretty, love your hair.
ReplyDeleteAw great shop! And lovely photos esp those last ones of you! I feel like I'm eleven too ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Camilla, your posts do cheer me up. The older I get, the dafter I get; in my head I'm still 18!:) Congrats on your yarn store- I've had a peek and the colours are amazing. x
ReplyDeletei always see myself as about 26.....phew. has that been a lifetime + of '26' birthdays! Great happy selfie photos!!! Love 'em.
ReplyDeleteI jumped on a horse o.n.c.e. That was enough for me! I love your spirit ~ please wish Chef a happy birthday from us. Still dreaming of those waffles...
ReplyDeleteI'm perpetually 14 years old....looks like a great week for you :) I hope that you have another then another then another....and so on.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see all this wonderful busy-ness happening for you! Your photos are so stunning, especially the last two- I love the thought that this is how your Foghorn sees you - lucky boy to have such a fun, vibrant momma. xo p.s. Have I told you how EXCITED I am to receive my gorgeous, fancy, new yarn? Talk about being eleven again....
ReplyDeleteI just read your post about Fiona "bunny", how amazing and inspiring. So glad you wrote that, a really, REALLY good reminder that it's never too late to take up something that had to be put aside for a little while. Beautifully said, Camilla :) xo Oh, I did noticed you've become a year younger yet - lucky you!
DeleteWhat a great week! Your hair is amazing btw :-)
ReplyDeleteI love love love the yarn I ordered--and your packaging is beautiful, too! Thank you, Camilla! I will be ordering again for sure. My mother turned 60 last week and I kid you not, she said the same thing!!!!! She said she still feels like she's eleven! Must be a good age for many folks....I watched the final George Strait concert on television this weekend and his last song The Cowboy Rides Away has been literally playing in my head when I go to sleep & upon waking it is still present...the circle of life encompasses us all and it's both beautiful & haunting...congrats again on the shop success! You look beautiful on Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you like your yarn Ruby- thank you again so much for your support :)
