Waiting..

waiting, waiting... Miss Pip (Epiphany) continues to lug her huge tummy around waiting for the arrival of her Conatus baby. Her udder has certainly started to bag up and its just a matter of days now until her life is not her own anymore for the next 6 months or so (then we have a bit of a reprieve until Bessie Merle has her pups in December).

I have to say that I will be glad when foal watch is over for the season and that sleep patterns can get back to normal.

Its been a very strange type of day here at Massie Lodge today with a few rain showers and a gloomy overcast type of day - not a summer day by any stretch of the imagination, the type of day that you just want to sit on the lounge and vege out with your favourite DVDs and comfort food.

All the mums and babes are doing well and its just a joy to be able to spend some time with them, watching the foals learning and starting to eat (without teeth!).

Tonight sees leftover Zucchini and Pea Risotto for dinner (yes, I made it, are you shocked?), a glass of wine and some time watching a movie or two on the lounge with Evan and the canines. (We are going to have to buy another lounge for Bessie if she has 9 pups .... lol Hahahaha, there is no way that we will be keeping 9 pups! She has been told 2 only - 1 liver and 1 black thanks).


Enjoy! (I know we will be!)

Helen.
