The little guys are doing well. We three are sooo allergic to them- sneezing, coughing, stuffy noses. Oh well. What's a few sniffles for babies so adorable?
If you would like a baby or two the next time NorCal goes to the auction, give them a call to reserve one. 877-588-4677 or 530-282-5565

It's rainy again. What to do after feeding?

I know! I know! Let's leave our mud and go play in NorCal's mud.

We piled in to Silver Jimmy - as opposed to silver haired Jim.

Up we went on Hiway 70. Everywhere we go it is wonderful.

On to the Hardware Store, Post Office and general meeting place for Yankee Hill and Concow.

Jim waxed poetic about the beauty of the clouds, saying they looked like waves at the ocean. He kept on long enough that I got seasick.

This is Home At Last from Hiway 70. What a great place to live!!! We drove the infamous dirt road to NorCal. It is bumpy. rutted and a real challenge to drive.

NorCal has mud, but we have more. Lots more.

Jack is the official NorCal greeter.

Jim and Tawnee had lots to talk about. They talked under the trailer

And in the barn. One of the biggest discussions was about the dairy (cow and goat) industry and the cruelty to the unwanted male offspring. The babies are taken from their mothers, not fed nor cared for and then thrown away. Those that survive go to auction. If no one buys them they are left in a pen to die. Is this any way to treat babies?

Parrcy is getting big.

This is Trixie. She's going to make Home At Last her new home. We're also taking another mare, but I didn't get her picture. Tawnee loves it when we come because we seldom go home without a horse or two. I would take all the ones who need a home, but would need a few more regular donors. Anyone interested in helping Home At Last give a forever home to some unwanted horses? Call 530-514-1439 for more information. It's tax deductible and would make a big difference to the horses. Trixie was covered in ticks and needed surgery. She's untrained and no one wants her. The other mare is old, but very sweet.

We looked at the horses who need homes. Norcal has so many wonderful critters who would make someone very happy. Do you have room for one or two?

If you are looking for a horse. please, check out NorCal Equine Rescue. Their website will show horses available for adoption. There is no need to breed, as there are young horses needing a home. savethe horse.com

There will be no blog tomorrow as we will celebrate our 45th anniversary with a day out. Friends are doing the feeding chores. Thanks Carolyn, Art, Margaret and Carol.

Thank you Carolene for your generous donation and to anonymous for the chicken feed.
