Me think-ist the silkie is a rooster

Monday, July 28th, 2008

He’s gorgeous and easy to handle. He looks like an 80s hair band lead singer yet sadly the black silkie has began crowing in the morning leading me to believe he’s a rooster. While I really like him, the silkies were for laying so I think he must go. My neighbor knows a gal with a small farm that could want him so I’ll follow up on that. I don’t want to separate them until I have a pair for the (hopefully she’s a hen!) white silkie. I should make reference that after reading around on some silkie breeder forums, hens have been known to crow and this is one of the most challenging breeds to sex the pullets from the cockrels. I’m bummed cause I really like him and not having ever been a fan of birds I will be sad to see him leave.

HorseGirlTV is FEATURED on iTunes!

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

HorseGirlTV has hit mainstream!!!! It’s almost before the preverbal Photoshop ink has dried, we’re rocking the horse world to the masses right alongside snowboard, golf, surfing, and motorbikes! While iTunes offers over 100,000 podcasts it features a mere 15 for different categories and HorseGirlTV is currently standing at 11 in the Sports & Rec Outdoors! Yah! The SPORTS CATEGORY people!!!! The category where content is fueled by the millions of dollars thrown at golf, motor-cross, skiing, extreme sports, racing and the like!

I hear the whimpers from the conglomerate distribution houses and old-school broadcasters who thought this whole podcasting bit was a fad! Yes! The future of entertainment is shifting power to indie podcasters. Free the media with free media!

I’m excited! Can you tell?

Below is a screen capture of my iTunes and to see a larger version of the screen capture just click here!

I sadly haven’t had time to ride or really do anything but work on HorseGirlTV (which is über fun of course) but I have made a tiny bit of time in the evening to start a container garden of herbs, peppers and tomatoes! Our little flowers are now reaping fruit. Shortly we’ll be picking plump and juicy ripe red ones! Where’s Waldo? How about count the tomatoes. There are SEVEN in a six inch area!

Move over Betty Crocker

Since I can’t find a decent bakery, one that will keep a meeting at least, I’m considering making my own cake for the reception! Below is a picture of my cake prepared without proper tools so give me a real spatula and a few decorating nick-nacks and I’ll be stacking those tiers and icing with the best of them.

Iron chef? How about Iron baker! :)
