Pictures from Eden and a blab

I am doing much better. Many of you helped me to shape a better outlook about my relationship with my best friend. Don't feel anxious anymore, enjoying him and us for how we are. I feel more complete now.

Al Anon gives me such options as far as perspectives, and what to weigh. Problem solving is very important to me. I used to just take whatever on. OH you need food? here. OH your dog needs a home, let me take it. Now I problem solve with them and we work out how THEY can find options.

I want to go check on my ex AH. It has been many years now. What makes me want to? Becuz I have known him all my life, I care. HE may cuss me out, not recognize me. Who knows. Maybe he is dead, maybe the woman of ill repuke is dead. All I know is I want to see him. That is it. I want NOTHING from him. Expect nothing. I don't feel drawn to him or want him or anything.

The pics are my son and dog, daughter and child. August is the piggy eating popcorn off my floor. Prudance is standing on the table. I used to put the dogs food up there so she would not eat it, she still does not believe it is gone and checks every day! My best friend, um hmmm I think one is where my son goes fishing> not sure what else. (c:

Its super hot here and humid, same as Louisiana almost exactly for the last few days. I keep telling people I might as well just pack up and go to La! I do not like this weather. Am not complaining, just it is hard becuz with animals you must make sure they have all their needs, and keep them cool. I am running around in a sarong I think it is called? Basically a piece of material tied between my hmmm (o)(o) s.Decided I am going to go buy some more material and make some more of these into short dresses and tops. Its so cool to have your shoulders and arms naked.

Someone is giving me free produce and stuff for the animals every saturday! They are only a mile away maybe! Since I seem to have a ton of chickens it will help lots. I love having eggs to eat and give away.

go to doc on tues for mammagram which I don't believe in and did not want to do. My doc blackmailed me and would not give me my HRT unless I went. turkey. I told him NOT to tell me the results. I don't want to know. HE better respect that. It may be time for knee surgery again...I want to walk I mean go for walks! I have a horse to train and need my left leg.

My guys career is at a point it has never been before. Big papermills have to shut down so they all can go thru all the machinery etc, add new storage areas etc. So it is major getter done. He has to engineer lots of stuff to improve the mill, to add things etc. So he is putting in tons of hours. exausted. He told me it would be like this. I am adjusting. Just wish I was there doing my part to keep our home. But is what it is.

I gave in and completely believe in him. Completely, have NO doubts in his love and goals for us. I know we will and do have a wonderful love and friendship. He isn mine mine mine and he is NOT getting away. He does not want to anyhooooo. lol I feel complete now, so when we do end up as one, wow!I love the brat.

My animals are great,the chicks are so dang friendly they fly up to my shoulders and get under foot. Henry tortoise gets to be outside all day as do all the five guinea pigs, one tiny bunny one crippled chicken.

In my front is a huge wonderful tree. It is always so nice and cool there. So all my little ones and or handicapped ones are there.

My sweet horse. Almost lost her! I was sitting here looking out my slider door.l moved my couch here so I can look out. Down went Glory with a thump on the side of the mountain. The horses roll in the dirt and mud there.  But she could not get up!She had landed in a divit they made by rolling back and forth. Kona the big bay was nudging her. I ran up there and put her lead around her neck and tried to help her get up. She could not plant her feet as they were pointing uphill. Am frantically trying to figure out what to do. went and grabbed her back legs and thought about turning her over so she was heading downhill. thought this is dumb holdingher legs! She can kill you! dropped em. I am always talking to my hp Jehovah. HE is always with me. 

I grab the rope and she trieds to lift her head. no go. then I finally screamed,"SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!" Horses will die in this position as there is too much weight on their lungs!! I am pulling her neck holding her head up, she is trying to plant. I am leaning with all my weight of 5'2 inches about half way to the ground behind me. All of a sudden, nothing. I saw nothing, I felt nothing. Next thing I knew Glory was hopping and kicking, running off all silly with the lead rope around her neck! whoa! I was out of breath, trying not to go down. Kona came to me, I put my arms around him, he pulled his head towards my back and held me. was amazing. OF course he was a bit naughty nibbling on my shirt back there....silly man.

I tell people allll the time, eden is special. I KNOW HP helps us and loves these rescues. Was an amazing miracle! I in no way could have pulled and helped a 850 pound horse with her hoovies pointing up hill alone!

Hp sent me angels, he knew what I needed, we needed.

nap time! (c:  Debilyn of Deb's Eden

smile Morning Debs... what a good way to spend the week-end! Our old kunikuni was called 'Miss Piggy'. They are an old breed [I think] from the Pacific who were used to produce lard. They are real famine- pigs and could survive without food for oh so long. Our Miss Piggy would make a nest for herself- a girl cave made out of straw.

I went to see an old girlfriend 6 weeks ago. She was, without a word of a lie, an ordinary looking person, but was one of the roughest chicks in the whole country.

Our time together was both sweet and convivial. Her boundaries [and mine] had improved enormously over time. [We still have a bit of facebook contact.] I think women weather survival a whole heap better than guys. [So why else would I be hanging onto the shirt-tails of Alanon?]

Actually we had a good catch-up. She told me her story right through. It was an awesome experience.

Its freezing cold here in New Zealand. I am waiting until about ten to go out and rev up my chain saw.

I really miss life out there on the land. I have been pruning out there for a few weeks and had a great old Lab. called Agnes as company.

Like you I see the family, going forward, as a fruit of my recovery... hope and joy!

 

take acre my friend...

take care I should say.

aww David in Alanon.

thank you david, I loved your share! It was so delightful! Kune kunes are from New Zealand!! I planned to get one, the same color as my augie the one eating popcorn. But made the decision to save him from some idiot killing him and eating him!

Angus sounds wonderful. I relate, there is always something around me as I work too. My two alpine goats love to help me!

wow the gal experience sounded good. We need contact with the opposite sex I believe, even if we are gay! I am so glad you enjoyed each other.

wow it is close to 100 here and the humidity is hi for us.

Kunekunes here are VERY expensive! I love the waddles on their neck! You can send me a couple piglets ANYTIME!  lol I would love to have a pair of them. They are so dang smart, gentle and loving. thank you for sharing that too!

Deb, thanks for sharing. i've just started coming back to MIP and have wondered how you've been. It sounds like things are mostly good for you and I'm happy to hear that. Stay cool. I love the sarongs idea! And as usual, love the pics!
