Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving to all the folks in the US who read my blog, hope your day is happy indeed.
I  was thankful this morning to wake up to such beauty:
Especially thankful that the snow stayed on the mountain tops, and that the rain quit, and that the ground thawed out and Lake Beamer mostly disappeared.
Thankful, to see that my hardy little pansy is still valiantly blooming through all the nasty weather, including being buried by snow.

In fact, I am amazed that I still have viola flowers,

and that my Bee Balm looks like it has new growth.
(Even though it did get knocked over by the snowfall.)
Rio is improving, and when I run out of penicillin tomorrow, I'll get some Uniprim (thanks for the reminder Sherry- I have used it before, but forgot about it ) so I don't have to keep poking holes in his poor little self. Also, it's pretty certain that he will be a big brother next spring- what do you think?

Either he is going to be a big brother or you need to seriously consider backing off of the grass. Lol

Happy Thanksgiving

Pretty view, glad rio is doing better what is Uniprim? Flowers ....all they wanna do is grow....I wish, it is just plain ugly here.

Uniprim is a granular antibiotic that you can put in with grain. I'll have to pick some up tomorrow for sure, Rio was a little testy about the needle tonight.

Uniprim is useful stuff - glad Rio's on the mend.

I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful.
Aren't the tough flowers fun to see despite the snow and cold? It is such a nice surprise to see the bright colors poking out during less colorful times!

Oh, Im behind...poor Rio!!
I must go read what he has recovered from! Ledum is a great homeopathy for puncture wounds...sticking them over and over for therapy is that! I give it before and after annoculations.

Happy Happy to you too!There are so many recognisable things to appreciate and be thankful for and so many MORE that are graceful blessings to us, happening all the time!

Another foal! WOW!!
