I thought I’d throw this question at you, before embarking on a discussing of the strain of *Turfa.. a delicate question here in the USA.
The number of clicks on the “Daughter of the Wind” blog as of 3.30 pm on Monday, September 22nd, less than 9 months into its launch. Even I am surprised by the magnitude of the phenomenon. What is as interesting is the number of separate users: 4,971 so far, which means that the average number of pages viewed is 14 pages per reader…
Yesterday night Jeanne Craver wrote to me about Wisteria (my Kuhaylah Hayfiyah mare, by Triermain out of HB Wadduda), which is in the care of the Cravers: “It looks as though Wisteria had a false pregnancy. She got big (as you saw in the photo), made an udder and came to milk. None of these were as evident as you would ideally like to see. Then the udder went down and she got smaller, and that appears to be that. The odd thing is that Femina did the same thing at the same time. She was due a week later than Wisteria.” Bummer. But you know what, it happens. I don’t mind waiting one more year, because I know the output will be worth the wait. Wisteria will be put back to Javera Thadrian (Thane x HB Diandra) for a fall 2009 baby. Fingers crossed. Meanwhile, here is a picture of Javera Thadrian I took in 2002. I am told he still looks as great.
