Several have asked about the future house sell and what it could mean for the Sanctuary. Right now the plan is to eventually put the house on the market. We need to do some fixing up, and it won't happen right away. We have a cabin on the Sanctuary property across the street with the horses and pond, and we would make a larger place for us there.
As much as I love our house, it is bigger than we need and expensive to maintain. And all the surgeries we've weathered this year are most definitely taking it's toll (I don't want to live in a refrigerator box with Excy and three cats)! Hopefully the foxes will follow us across the street. We saw one of the kits stroll over there today (I hated seeing it cross the street). Today Francis and Mr Fox and a female kit came up to eat. I will post some pics for 'Wildlife Wednesday.'

Musings on life on and off Wye Mountain
Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself......
Having lived in the east and the west, I've found myself back in my home state of the south - not the 'deep' south; we like to think of ourselves as pioneers and our state as the 'jumping off place' to beginning a westward journey, like so many migrating pioneer families considered us to be in the 1800s.
My husband "Excy" and I run a wild mustang sanctuary (www.wingspur.org -- that's our 'wild bunch' running across the header up there), and are being bossed around by tons of wild and domestic animals. We seldom get a chance to get away anymore, but that's okay.
I am a former magazine editor and was working for a national nonprofit when I had to go on disability in '97. Now I freelance articles and edit for a publishing house and private clients. Like most everyone out there, I have a few screenplays and mostly-completed novels in a drawer. I'm also failing to learn how to play the hammered dulcimer. Can't read music, just play by ear. But I have slowly mastered some civil war-era and folk songs.
I started blogging because a friend thinks I'm funny and I'd be good at it, and because it's way more fun than Facebook.

That's good to know. I couldn't imagine you giving up the mustangs and assorted wildlife. (at least not completely)
That's a relief...but I'm so sorry about your family's health problems. That does take a toll, both financially and emotionally. I will pray for you.
Health problems can be a real kicker, can't they. I hope you guys get through to the other side of whatever niggly issues you have so that you can start saving money again!
And I guess just moving across the street will save you a bit financially when the day finally comes, eh? :)
Glad to hear you will be on the sanctuary, but saddened for the health issues. Good health thoughts I will have for you.
So you'll stay with the animals, then? I could not imagine you without them!
The animals are far too important to live without -- thanks to all...across the street we will have the horses and beaver and aquatic wildlife to spy upon...as well as the coons and foxes...
It's always amazing to see how much unneeded stuff you've accumulated when you downsize. Purging is a great benefit to such a move. Glad you'll still be among the critters. I live on a farm, too, and can't imagine life without the animals.
