I really love the cashew butter better than peanut butter & better than even almond butter. The only place I can find it in this area is at Trader Joe's (where I get the best tasting quick to fix foods)

So far it's just fields & woods with a stream flowing through it. I have fence posts to put up fencing for when I finally save up the money to move my horse here. She is still in California as it's expensive to move them across country & it's been difficult saving money with all the things that keep breaking around here. I had left her in Calif when I first moved here because I really like the trainer I have in Calif so wanted her broke to ride. Unfortunately, she came down with strangles & the whole ranch was quarantined for over a year after I left because of the strangles. The start of her training was delayed because of it also......then by the time she was ready to come, my financial situation went from bad to worse & I'm just getting it saved up.....looking at bringing her here next spring after the winter is over. My mare had her just before I had a really horrible time in my life & just before my mother died of cancer & the trauma I went through with the home care person during that & the anorexia that hit me bad at the same time. Izzy basically gave me the will to live after that & she was my whole life. I got the call that my mare had her foal & I was there 1 hour after she was born. Within a few hours, Izzy was laying on my lap & we were playing in her stall......I just couldn't sell her & have had bring her here as my goal this whole time.....I just couldn't sell her & get another horse here as she just meant too much to me (will see if she even remembers me when I get her here).

I am also planning on clearing a place where I can put up a chicken coop. I do a lot of farm sitting around here & I love caring for the chickens & really want my own......may add a few ducks to the mix also as duck eggs are delicious also. It's difficult caring for a place all on my own & I bought a huge house not thinking that I was really going to end up divorced & after I came her to get my house painted & fixed to move into, I realized that divorce was my only option that made any sense after all the peace I felt being away from my H....there was no going back or bringing him here.

Oh I hope your little keet gets well. So glad that you have a vet that cares for birds....that is not easy to find. I found one in California who actually cared for the Busch Garden birds when they had a Busch Gardens in Van Nuys.....it was his specialty. They are difficult to care for when they get sick & it's important to give them ALL the meds. So glad to hear he was singing again.....THAT is a good sign
