What a way to spend your time off...

Mike came home with a particularly nasty virus and four days later he is still very sick. He has put in a lot of couch time and I've fed him a number of tasty meals but he still isn't showing much improvement. We have another big snow storm heading our way on Monday and hopefully he will be doing better by then. In the meantime, the dogs have been rotating duty as foot warmers.

In April of 2006, I started a wordpress blog called 'Paddock Paradise & Mustang Mountain' that focused on natural horse care and keeping horses barefoot. Several people shared their experiments in creating a more natural environment for their horses and the site has received many, many visitors. Unfortunately, I fell behind in updating it and then with breaking my wrist early last summer, I suddenly realized it had been eighteen months since I had made an entry.

Well. When I finally got around to rectifying that problem, I remembered one of the reasons why I stopped updating it. Photos. I hate the way wordpress handles photos and that I had to edit a photo specifically to fit into the wordpress layout. This meant I was making double and sometimes even triple versions of each photo I wanted to keep, which really kind of took away the pleasure of sharing them.

My solution has been to create a whole new blog called 'Wild Hearts, Willing Spirits' © which is the working title for that book I keep talking about. Since there is no easy way to move a blog from wordpress to blogger, I left the old one there intact with a link to the new location. For those interested in keeping their horses barefoot or in natural horse care, there is a very good list of links over there, plus all of my early Mustang Mountain entries and entries by several other folks will remain there. For those interested, I'll post a note here each time I put up a new entry about the Wild Boys.
