I was at your show and I saw it in person because anybody that could eat hot dogs at 10 in morning and smile is a great person! Please view this video and think about helping the kids with cancer and the carriage riding program "Driving for Surviving": http://sharingvillage.org/ Thank you, Dawn Sandomeno Martha,

Surely all the grass in Ireland isn't perpetually green? The scenery reminds me of Hudson River School paintings. Those stone outcroppings and all. So romantic to one whose weather seems to skip springs and falls as it does here in Los Angeles. And what other reference do we here have for those stone walls than that by Robert Frost? Having only seen that terrain a few times in person I'm quite jealous of the early Americana gestalt. Your horses are so ideally pretty and statuesque. I think the length of their tails makes them appear a little too fancy for the trail. If even one wanted to shorten them which I'm sure you and Betsy don't, how would one accomplish that? Are the hairs to be pulled out by brush in the field and lacking that, grow longer and longer? I heard many years ago that one doesn't cut the tail. I would want the tail length to be about the distance to the hock. That seems ideal to me. How literal-minded people are! Surely all the grass in Ireland isn't perpetually green?

Your pictures and notes about fertilizing the garden makes me hopeful that spring may eventually arrive! Thanks for sharing. Martha -

It only reminds me of the open space part of Ireland. The green color is lacking. The green in Ireland is like no other. It is beautiful in Bedford New York and thank you for sharing.

We feel the same way. Saw your mini donkeys last week. Very adorable. Our two boys Lucas and Babe(L&B) would have fun with them. The guys reallllly love to be hugged. I have an excellent photo of both being hugged at the same time. We love the way you take care of your pets. We feel the same way. Saw your mini donkeys last week. Very adorable.
