But you are a real person, struggling to make sense out of life, as am I. No matter what you have to say, about anything or nothing - I will always want to read it.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-46349629969222721742011-08-10T11:28:02.757-05:002011-08-10T11:28:02.757-05:00Phelan,

You are the epitome of hope-proof of life. When friends of mine have been in the bowels of depression, I have sent them over here to read your amazing journey and it has renewed them. You are a prime example of reality, and drive, and passion. My heart goes out to you in these rough times and I know, without a doubt, that you will survive & thrive once again. Please, know what an asset you are to the world, and NEVER stop writing.The Environmental Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617034912704203401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-50238624329359604402011-08-09T07:42:40.568-05:002011-08-09T07:42:40.568-05:00I wish some of that rain would wander down my way,...I wish some of that rain would wander down my way, but I am so glad you got it! We are looking at hay prices right now for the goats...and it is damn scary! We sold one of the wethers and are keeping it here for the new owners, so they are buying the feed and hay for him. Still, we may need to get rid of two goats...a non-productive doe (bad udder, but good breeder), and a young buck we were going to wether and train to harness.<br />The heat and drought down here in Texas has been brutal for the cattle ranchers. :( Some ranches have sold off 70 to 90% of their herds.Now they are saying the drought will continue until October and be just as bad next year here.Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083153173061255844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-73675099512806222332011-08-08T12:56:36.403-05:002011-08-08T12:56:36.403-05:00one foot in front of the other. you will make it.one foot in front of the other. you will make it.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921076567354273003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-87862547382067905642011-08-07T13:06:53.543-05:002011-08-07T13:06:53.543-05:00Man! everything about your blog is interesting sta...Man! everything about your blog is interesting starting from your header to the text of your post, every word.It's been raining here every other day but the temps are still over 100C, too humid.Adnanhttp://www.plants.com.pknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-9441611121933764152011-08-07T06:53:07.567-05:002011-08-07T06:53:07.567-05:00Glad you finally got some relief.

A little creepy, but better than having them rot in a hole after they died of starvation or age.teacherkimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843839753040381937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-57530277427091332482011-08-05T22:47:32.880-05:002011-08-05T22:47:32.880-05:00I'm so sorry. :-(
