I found your magazine by mistake and just got my first issue.I love it! I was raised on a farm then moved to the city when I got out of school and on my own. I was a single mom and raised 2 sons on my own. About 5 years ago, I bought a horse. I had always wanted a paint horse. I found acreage to put her then thought, hmm.. I could give unwanted horses a home. That's when Giddyup Horse rescue was born. I have helped over 30 horses to date. I have 4 of mine that i will keep, but have rescued, rehabbed and adopted out others. Then I got chickens(bantams, barred rocks, silkies,and millie fluers), peacocks, a turkey, 7 cats(one is looking for a place to give birth as i type), 3 dogs, most recently a great pyrenees that was dumped out here, and 2 parrots. I love animals! In spring I always put in a big garden and this year I am thinking of having a farmers market at my place. I am thinking of starting a bee hive here as well. I love to cook and bake homemade items, I do cross stitch, needlepoint, decopauge.. i just started using a sewing machine. I was diagnosed with MS last year and I am dealing with that. I also sell on ebay and craigslist. I dont have many friends and would love to talk to other farmgirls. Farmlife is hard work, but worth the rewards!

We really only got a few flakes but got the rain and ice. We got our big snow Christmas and still have left overs still piled from than. I am so ready for spring. I'll have to check the map and see where you are. Sounds like there may be a road trip in the future.

Hi From Connecticut!
I think what you are doing for all those animals is wonderful! We have a shelter dog (our third) and the rescued animals KNOW they have been rescued. Keep up the great work, you are a special person.

You are more than welcome to join the Farmgirls of the Heartland and have fun with us.
We try to meet once a month and have an outing or we have to combine the two.

hey wende.. i would love to join you girls.. sounds like fun.. too bad i missed the shatto thing and the zig zag across the state.. sounds fun.
shatto called me last year wanting me to take twin calves to bottle feed. i was so busy with 2 foals that i couldnt but would do it now. i tried your second link but it said error could not be found. maybe the period between blog and spot wasnt supposed to be there..

Hi From a fellow Paint Lover & Horsey Lover! You sound busy busy! I can relate. :) I too was just diagnosed with MS last February. Do you have relapsing/remitting or primary/progressive? I'm relapsing/remitting. Had two flare ups before I figured I'd better get my butt to the DR to see what's going on, and *BAM*. I'ts MS.
Sorry to hijack your post. :) Hope to get to know you!
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. |

Tawnya, You sure sound like you have a full plate I wish you all the best with your MS. I have a cousin and she is real bad but still tries to walk most of the time she is in her late 50's. So I know how once in a while, the body does not do what you want it to do. Bless you for all the other work you do as well. Also sounds like just maybe you have connected with some like minds very close to you how grand. Sorry I am not closer but pick a site and we can chat back and fore almost daily. Wishing you the best from Virginia. Lilly
