Ducklings

Isabelle and five of her six ducklings hatched yesterday afternoon.

Our Rouen hen, Isabelle, successfully hatched her first eggs yesterday. Isabelle is one of the first ducks we got , now two years old. Michaela and I hatched out four eggs last year, two taken from Katie and two saved from Gillies nest. They were all Cayuga/Black Swedish crosses, and all look like Cayugas. This is our first successful hen raised group. Four of them look like they are Rouen crosses, and the other two look to be Ancona crosses. I'll post some better pics once Isabelle lets me get a better look. She is still keeping them all to herself at this point, and also has more eggs in her nest that have yet to hatch.

"Ben"

Our featured art for the month is "Ben", our newest release in the G.R.A.S.P. series. He is a beautiful Great Pyrenees currently awaiting adoption. A portion of the sales from this print will be donated to G.R.A.S.P. to help give other dogs and cats like Ben a second chance.

Although Ben was only with us a few short days, like his size, he made a big impression on everyone he met. He is truly a sweetheart. My two boys, Jordan and Caleb, miss the rough and tumble play that was non stop from the moment he arrived. What a trio! This white goliath, dwarfing my 80lb setter/hound and 40lb lab/x pup. It is definately a little quieter since he's been gone. All the best, Gentle Ben.

Missing Bass

After The Silence Broken's last show at The Montage in Rochester, New York on April 26th, John's bass came up missing. It is an Ibanez 4 string SR810 Trans Cherry. The wood grain pattern is very distinctive. There is no serial or model number on the back of the headstock, which is unusual. It was in a hard case, covered in stickers - most of them local bands. This model/color is quite rare.

If you have any information, please contact John. You can also email me at solacepointe@equinesite.com. Thanks.

"Untitled"

A trio of Belgian draft horses plow under the remains of last years harvest, preparing the field for Spring planting.

Perhaps it is because one of the first equines I was introduced to as a child was an aged Clydesdale my friends family kept as a companion to their riding horse, that I have felt this affinity toward the gentle giants - the draft horses. Two of my own are drafts - Chief, an aged Belgian gelding and Manny, a Percheron/TB. Our featured art for the month is a new release featuring three beautiful Belgians demonstrating at the annual old fashioned days put on by our local draft horse club.
