Mother Hildegarde rides again

Just an FYI for anyone who might be out there and reading - I've had a lot of people tell me that the last episode of the podcast, Mother Hildegarde, wasn't downloading. I finally got off my tush and uploaded it again, and hopefully that'll do it. Please let me know if it doesn't work!

I hope, meanwhile, that you all are having lovely and meaningful lives. Apparently out of nowhere, I have decided to pursue being a large animal vet tech, and am learning to handle horses in order to do this. Crazy, but it's fun, and I think it's working! My 9yo former self, incidentally, surrounded by Marguerite Henry books and Breyer horses, is incandescent with joy. "What do you want to be when you grow up?" asked the teacher. "Jockey," I answered in my writing assignment, against all odds and body types and, um, absolute lack of any physical encounters with horses. So it goes - I'd rather handle them than ride them to victory!

I wish I could download just the story for my grandaughter's ipod. You read the story so well!

I would like more info on how to begin making yogurt. I know it is easy but the first time it is scary!

Hello Erin, I've only just found your podcast and want to tell you that it's so lovely to listen to. I very much enjoy listening to your stories and about your life. I know you're not broadcasting anymore, but I look forward to listening to the rest of the episodes.

I hope you like your new career. Horses are amazing creatures and a lot of fun to ride. I haven't been on one for a very long time, but I would love to have one someday. Good luck with training. Hope to see you around my blog sometime too. Have a wonderful day.
