Not the kind that Stude was doing.

We thought we would have the day off from helping Cowies this week since Richard went to CA.
But Shirlene called and asked if we were coming and if we could finish the frame blocking.
So off we go this morning ...

July 20th. July is almost gone?

I've caught up reading some but don't really have time to be on here.

Ever since I got Apache it has been a struggle to rinse him off. Problem is, he sweats like a pig. This past week it has been miserable here with heat indexes up to 105. So Apache has had plenty of rinsing lessons. Yesterday wasn't so bad and the ...

Probably TMI but I think I got eaten alive in my sleep last night. All I know is my legs are really bad and suspiciously enough, the place where there's a hole in my sleeping shirt, under my arm? They got me there. It was a late one because I decided ...

It's okay, this rain. I guess if I was growing a garden and needed a lot of sun I might be miffed. It's pretty glorious.

SECOND CHANCE?? Are you serious?? You swing in, give a line about fly spray causing bumps ad waltz out? :) How are ...

There are days like this I love it here. The temps are cool (66) this morning. It was pretty warm and humid yesterday but walking the dogs last night was lovely. It's getting up to low 80's all week so - no complaints about heat here.

I'm not complaining but the mosquitoes are loving life right now! Lots of rain yesterday and more coming today.

Rode this girl this evening. With the rain she has been in for a day and a half. Bridled her in the stall, left her loose, blanketed her, saddled her, she was perfect. Took her out into the barnyard, parked her next to my stool, told her to be good because ...
