Welcome To The World, Sally Joy :)

:))))

Our new baby horse was born Friday night :)))

Welcome to the world, Sally Joy :)))

She came in with the recent full moon on the stargate, 11-11-11 :)

She is like a *tiny* little sacred white replica of her dad, our

palomino Sparkie - she has the same white markings on her face and

ankles...

Mumma Barbie and baby both seem to be doing really well...and her

older brother Cherry Star is being very gentle with her so far... :)

Sally Joy is feeding a lot already, she is very alert and seems like

quite a brave little one - as you can see in this picture, she

already went to meet Mr. M up close on her *first* day here - Cherry

didn't make contact for about 10 days after he was born...perhaps

because mumma Barbie's pregnancy was very relaxed this time, this little one

has very few fears... :))) We hope so :)))

You can see a photo album of pictures of Sally Joy's first day here Earthside, over on Facebook, HERE - enjoy :)

The dogs are very curious and also learning to leave her

alone...Barbie is very protective...she is also still nursing Cherry

at the same time...

The picture of the stones on Facebook is where Sally Joy was born and we buried

her placenta... I laid a ring of eight stones around one

central white stone to represent her horsey tribe around her,

protecting her - she is horse number nine now living with us here ;)

We love her :))))))

Any of you durian lovers out there who have ever tried our amazing Freeze-Dried Durian product will surely be jumping for joy right now – it’s BACK :)

These little chunks of freeze-dried deliciousness are made freshly from each durian season in Thailand and we JUST received the new batch – YAY :))) Mr. M and I are super-excited to get our hands on some again – it’s soooooooooOOOOoooOoOOoooooo GOOD – like durian “popcorn” or smthg – lol ;) You can also rehydrate it in any liquid, use it in smoothies, ice cream mixes, cereals and so on – endless possibilities :)
If you’ve never tried durian, this might be a fun new culinary adventure for you – proceed with caution though – people tend to looOoOOOOoooove durian or find it repulsive – lol ;)
