Edda Snow photos
This farm is so beautiful.
Edda is standing down hill.
More snow this morning about 3" originally, then we had a break for a little while.
Mother nature added another 2" of hail balls on top of that and afterwards we had some bright blue sky, so I came out took some photos.
Edda trotting and making a funny face. But it is nice getting some new updated photos of Edda. She is a pretty young horse and wanted to get some better photos of her.
What is cool, is there is 2" of little hail balls on top of the 2"+ of snow, was fun walking through it.

Icelandic's and Maggie the Mini
Miss Maggie
And a number of photos of Edda, who had to follow me all over the pasture while taking photos to see if she could help.

Mia update and the downed Grandmother Cedar tree
I have been trying for a couple of weeks to get a good photo of Mia but no such luck, not enough light so I get the possessed kitty photos. DS took these photos today of her in the super bright wash room and got a couple of good photos.
Normally she is not allowed in the dryer.
Mia is doing a lot better, no sign of the abscess and her fur is finally starting to slowly grow back in.

Mia's abscess
Last weekend, when my roof was leaking around the Vent for the fan above the oven and having to deal with that.
I saw that Mia had an Abscess at the right back corner of her jaw. Weird shape but being the weekend, trying to find a good Vet wasn't going to happen. She seemed to be doing ok.
On Monday morning after the morning chores, I had DS take Mia to the Vet, to be dropped off and checked out, while I waited at home for Karen to come fix my roof.
Was grateful Karen was able to fix the leak on the roof. Thank you Karen!
Of course is the day the farrier also decided to show up....
I picked up Mia later that day and would need to flush the abscess twice a day.
Busy day to say the least.
Three days later...
Back from the Vet, had a nice long talk with her. Basically Mia got bit, figured that.... those field mice are huge. She is not allowed outside but she does hunt in the garage. Glad I caught it as soon as I did.
The abscess was very deep and in and around the nerves around her neck, also pressing against her wind pipe and spine. Vet had never seen an abscess that bad, over 3oz of puss out of that tiny neck of hers. There is no way to go in and make sure all areas of puss is removed, not where the abscess was. Vet said considering how bad the abscess was, she is doing well.
So she has to keep her collar on until the pocket closes up and I need to keep flushing it twice a day until it does so. Might take awhile.

Of course I will worry until she is fully healed.
She will have to wear the collar until she is healed.

George Washington's Birthplace
Well, since this is the George Washington's birthplace blog entry, thought I would show the house again.
The Park Rangers were really nice, from taking a photo of us, to driving us around in a golf cart, which enabled me to see more of the place. Would like to give a big Thank you to them.
The formal dinning room. One of the only original pieces on the table is that little gold colored flask.
Some nice little out buildings, top and bottom photos. The usual buildings, little stable, blacksmiths shop and so on.

One thing I have always wanted to with the yarn I make, is weave blankets on a nice loom. Maybe some day.

Old Jamestowne
Figured I should get the rest of the vacation photos up on the Blog so family and friends could see.
Takes a number of hours to do this, but worth it.
This is Old Jamestowne. Luckily.. unlike Williamsburg, they let you use a very nice scooter for free. Without that, I would not of been able to check this place out.
DH decided to be cheeky by puffing his stomach out....so I took the photo of him anyway and post it for all to see. LOL
An out line of the old Fort. What you do not see in this shot is that the other side of the Front and housing that was once here, ended up in the river when the banks were eroded away.
A recreation of one of timber frame buildings. This site is an on going archeological dig site, which I find really cool. One of those dream jobs.
I just had to buy a little blue hand blow flower vase. If this house wasn't in the state of flux, I would of bought another piece. It is simple but beautiful and they were able to recreate the exact mix, to get glass of the past.

One silly man he is!
Photo was taken in front of the Jamestown Monument.

Hand made in America, a wonderful thing to have.
Sadly, I just did not have the energy to check out the recreated Jamestown with the ships and houses, looks like DH and I would love it. Another plus here, they do have scooters.
