"May all beings everywhere plagued with sufferings of body and mind quickly be freed from their illnesses. May those frightened cease to be afraid, and may those bound be free."

Because today - Buddism works too.

At the bird farm, we are gearing up for spring.  The birds know that the days are getting longer.

Wednesday, the farrier will be here and the horses will get new tennies.  Travis Swanson is our farrier and he is VERY good w/ the equines.  I will take some pictures.  Should be good.  Gotta get the horses as well as the riders legged up.

I'm gonna burn some brush and move some compost; clean up the garden area this weekend. 

We are planning a bit of sausage making over at the cat ranch.  We have some elk, some venison, a bit of antelope and the odd duck and goose floating around.  Since this is not something we have tons of experience with, we are gonna try breakfast sausage and italian sweet and hot.  Least as far as I know.  We've got a nice pork shoulder, some pancetta and some bacon for fat. 

May your weekend be productive, whatever that means for you.
