Re: Beavers in the barnyard
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, I Think you've got the answer! Maybe they were reading my mind...I hope they take me with them! (Six months of snow on the ground is a depressing thought when it begins here in October!) Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, 15 degrees this morning, but we got winter shoes on the two boys yesterday! Let's go out and enjoy the snow!

Re: Promotion idea, and Beavers in the barnyard
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maybe we ought to wait and see just how this movie portrays the Fjords? Anita, can you give us an idea of how they were used, etc.? Even better, how about telling the list about some of your experiences while filming! I seem to remember you telling me about some exciting adventures. Winter has arrived here with the first snow fall a week ago and my Fjords immediately turned into a pack of beavers. I looked out the day after the first 1/2 of snow fell to see three of the four Fjords lined up chewing on the fence. It was like a contest to see who could demolish it first! They had not touched the rails all summer, so why does the snow bring about this behavior? Anyway, I went out and cut a bunch of Aspen saplings and threw them into the corrals and they are happily reducing these to sticks and stubs. The farrier comes today to put the winter shoes with Borium and rim snow pads on Bjorken and Bjarne so I can get back to riding with safer footing. Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska, light snow and 32 degrees today, down to 9 hours of daylight! The roads are slippery and everbody has forgotten how to drive in this stuff!
