I noticed the other day that the Wood Duck cam is back on the cam page list. Does this mean that Eveline is going to be back on cam? Debby, you and Eveline are the stars of my entire Marestare sky! It would be glorious to watch her on cam again. I am hopeful.

The cam is up! The cam is up! I barely caught a glimpse of her before she strolled out, but it gave me such a thrill to see her again! And I see she is due 29 June. Let's see . . . that means I can admire her for 3 months! Thanks, Debbie.

Yes, she came in chat the other night and told us Aarnink's foal's sex and that she was getting her cam back online and couldn't get on the message board to post. I just love seeing the Friesians too!

Debbie, I hope you can remedy your MB access problems and leave some word about Eveline's progress. I've also been wondering and wondering about Tina. Do you still have her? Really, I am such an avid fan of your cam that I am elated to see it up and running again!

Well I have finally gotten my cams up and running. The girls are staying out during the night and are stalled in the middle of the day if it is hot. So if you don't see them in their stalls, they are around. Tina is still here. She is gorgeous. She is almost as tall as Eveline and won't be a year old until April 9th. Wow how time flies. Thanks for all the kind words and for all the support.

I'm looking at you right now, Debbie! OH! And there are Eveline and I guess Tina! She has become mighty. What a trip! They are trying to get sorted out into their respective stalls for dinner. I have just been sitting here giggling at your daytime cam angle, which appears to feature an espresso bar. Do they have little cafe tables in their paddock? LOL!
I am sooooo delighted to see the three of you again. What a joy it is to watch these marvelous horses and your inspired care of them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And HI to you! I was wondering if anyone was watching me at feeding time today. The girls have always been SO good about going to their own stalls to eat. But yesterday was the first time I didn't close them up after eating. Eveline finished first and came over to run Tina out of her stall so she could finish off a "second helping". So, tonight was more difficult. Eveline thought she could eat in both stalls! So when they got in their stalls, I closed the doors!!! That IS an expresso bar in the barn. Just kidding. I have spent lots of time sitting there visiting with people though. Sometimes it's a coffee bar. Sometimes it's a beer bar. Glad to be back on Mare Stare. Thanks for watching.

Eveline wants those 4-course meals she gets when foaling time is closer. Or is she getting them now? I had such a good time watching you and Eveline last year. You two are a memorable couple! I can't wait to see more of Tina. I'll be rooting you on!

No. She isn't getting all four yet. But close! She is fed twice a day and she gets a beat pulp treat just before I go to bed. My camera is not as clear as some are. Don't know why. I wish they were so you could really see Tina. She is stunning. She has been the alpha since day one. But Eveline is starting to put her in her place now. They are a lot of fun. Wish you were close by so you could come by for espresso! or BEER!

Oh, Debbie - don't tempt me. My husband knows somebody in Gastonia, and I'm always tempted to see whether he'd like to drive down there so that I could ring you up and maybe meet those gorgeous girls in person. I'd probably need smelling salts! Too much equine pulchritude! LOL! (Do you have a smelling salts bar for overwhelmed admirers?)

You absolutely make my day with your enthusiasm for Friesians. Where do you live? (if you don't mind me asking ) I would LOVE for you to come visit us. And if you really want a Friesian "fix" we can make a trip about 12 miles down the road and I'll show you lots of Friesians. Pam at Shady Nook farm is a dear friend and is not far from me. She loves Friesian visitors too. She will have her cams back on line soon. She only has one mare due this year too.

Well, the cam is down tonight, so I might have to hop in my car and drive down there right now. Just kidding. I'm in Maryland, so a visit would be do-able one of these days - maybe over the summer. I've got horses at home, so it's not easy to get away, as you probably know. I love the Shady Nook mares, too. That's great news about their cam coming online. Thanks for invitation! It would be a trip to meet you all. I have been saving up all these funny stories from watching the mares (you know, stuff like admiring your ability to gab on the cell phone while you muck out one-handed) and I'd love to laugh about them with you. Meanwhile, know that I am out here rooting you on and really enjoying the beauty of Eveline and Tina. (Except right now. I am suffering from acute camlessness. LOL!)

I just want to pop in and say that I have my camera turned on now and appreciate all the help keeping an eye on the girls. The camera will be on Eveline most of the time. I am having some technical problems with Tina's camera. I will turn it on at times because I can watch both of them on it. Just imagine the camera is clear ;-) If you haven't seen Tina since last year, you won't believe how big she is.

I had Eveline up yesterday morning, Debbie! Since then, I haven't been able to get the cam, but I always get a huge rush when I see her. She is The Queen!

Hi Devotee. I don't know why you have not been able to get her camera up. I have had her link open since early yesterday and have not turned it off. Please don't give up! She is not in her stall now because I leave her door open all night. I am about to go give her hay before I head to bed. THAT will get her in - guaranteed.
