A little about Christmas’s past…back in the farm days when I was out in the bitter cold and treacherous heat of taking care of horses and all that involved taking care of the daily ins and outs of care of property, horse and human and canine…it was no easy task but it was a labor of love for the animals that I loved and cared for… Everyday was early, 4 am early, to be prepared for what lay ahead in the day. It was non stop from wake-up til maybe bedtime. When I say maybe, it depended on what happened during a 24 hr day. Animals get sick, hurt, emergencies, and mechanical to structure problems of barn and home. You did what had to be done, no questions you made things work no matter what the problem was. Skills learned sometimes on the run or perhaps the guidance of my dad infused that last min knowledge into my brain. Christmas time at the barn was always special. Warm mash, stockings hung on stall doors, extra treats and carrots as Santa never forgot his four legged friends…Herk and Sam always there and Xena was too for awhile and always wanted the horse cookies as they had extra fat and molasses It wasn’t easy deicing water troughs and filling all them with fresh water through the winter days…sometimes almost impossible but I never gave up and even if I had to use a sledge hammer to get through the hat ice and then get that new water for the fields…it was tough times but unforgettable. It took me and a staff of sometimes few, and some days just me alone to get the many tasks done before night fall came. All these memories surged due to a gift given by Kathi Peiffer and surged those farm memories to resurface. Thank you Kathi…and thanks for those priceless memories #farmlife #horses #horsefarm #hardwork #winter #memories #christmasonafarm #toughwork #lehighcounty #nevergiveup #blessedandgrateful #blessed #grateful #gratitude #womanfarmer #life #justdoit #challenge #johndeere #hay #lifecoach #motivational #buckscounty #horsebusiness #love #hay #adventure #believeinyourself (at Bucks County, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmkHE7pusYy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
