I will contact city fathers. Actually, when I first brought my horse(s) to Freeport, to
the library, one of the city manager ladies was there. They loved the fact that
I had JoyJoy there, but they pulled out an ancient ruling book from like the
year 1778 where it was stated that no horses were allowed in front of the
homes an within the city limits of the streets due to congestion.

I guess if they wanted to be an icky city they would tell me no way.
I bring bucket and shovel with me also.
don't have money yet for the diaper set up, but that is a good thing.
actually, lots of folks love the horse apples and just scoop it up and
dump it on their flowerbeds. So, if joyousness or Ollicker plops a drop
some lucky person in Freeport might win the Plotzo and recoup
manna for their garden.

I ride JoyJoy but Ollie is freaked out with someone on his back.
Joy is like riding a submarine.

snow, wind, cold, chickens drinking out of a little pail of water I put
out, I cannot fill the heated water during the day, too hard for me.
I will refill the little bucket around 3pm.

if anyone wants to know more about the cow factory farm
the farm is called Freeport Dairy, and there really are 6,000 cows
on a half acre. They have been fined, over the years, millions of
dollars for pollution in the area. I think they are finally getting it
and have built 3 gargantuan tanks that look like oil tank storage,
with insulation around them. that, i am sure is for the sewage.
thank god.
all our homes here are on the coldwater creek, which is a tributary
of the thornapple river, which runs to lake michigan. we have a
designated state trout stream, and when thousands of trout die
overnight, we know what has been happening, although the DNR
doesn't say anything.

gotta clean and feed my canaries.
I breed them.,I have american singers, they are registered show
birds and famous for their song. I have two mated pairs, and
I will let them breed in February. If anyone wants to reserve a
canary, let me know now. they go like hotcakes.
