Just realized it's the 20th of November and I haven't written since the 3rd. Where does the time go????
Here in Mexico it seems to be taken up by trips to town to get paint, hit the hardware store, the cellphone place and finish the many other errands that need to be completed.
One of those errands was to go to the local boat and fishing store to buy fishnet to keep the Vampire bats from sucking the blood from the horses. AND this happened on Halloween!!! Kinda weird!!!!
Shoshanna went out to feed the horses that morning and discovered what she thought were scratches on Rumi's girth line. Little trail of blood seeping out but nothing to serious. Then one of the workers showed up and said oh no! not scratches but bat bites. Turned out he had 3 bites on him, poor baby!!! Vampire Bats love horses blood and their teeth are so sharp the horse doesn't even feel the bite. The bat then hangs out for about a half hour and fills itself up!! Yuck!! Amazing the things you learn when you move to a different country! We spent the day hanging fishnet all around their stalls, this seems to have done the trick and the horses haven't been bitten since. Yeah!
Meanwhile, we are still buffing and fluffing the place and hope to be in full swing by the end of this week. The website is being constructed and should be up and running soon. We hope!!
