Enjoying life

Today is a gorgeous March Friday. The boys got new shoes yesterday and started a new story for Adam. (Lynn did you notice he knew all the boys' names? I thought it was cool.) Jupiter is learning too much from Star. I know I was lamenting that he and Indy were so close and I didn't want him to be a ditz; but now he is acting a little like Star and that's not good either. As soon as he saw Adam coming up the hill to fetch a pail of water--oh, wrong story--fetch him to get his shoes, he and Star ran willy-nilly up the hill! Thankfully, he thought to wrinkle an old oak leaf and Jupes thought he had a granola bar and came back to him. Sheesh. I guess it's a good thing he is so food-oriented.

Nevertheless, Adam had followed them almost all the way to water tank! They were heading for the high country. Lynn had to take off work to go and help catch the sillies! Adam admitted he made a mistake--he left Ziggy by himself. That boy does not want to be tied, does not want to be alone, and won't stand still when he's worked on. Lynn had to catch him again because Adam thought he might have been a little lame when he turned him loose and he wanted to check him. Again, thanks Adam. I guess $120 is acceptable for all the extra stuff. Ziggy must have gotten everyone worked up because even Buster was a difficult job!

I am excited because I am feeding the boys all by myself. Lynn is off to hang out with Alisa while the guys work on a truck. Ziggy didn't get to go after all because there is still too much snow. It will be a good chance to see them all weekend because next week is going to crazy busy for me and the following one I will be out of town.

Last weekend Alisa came over and brought both Keota and Odie. Our boys were less than hospitable and bullied their guests. Odie probably hung out with Brady when we were all gone; that is if Star let him! They all rode on Friday and then we rode on Saturday (without Shirley) and then the three of us rode on Sunday. It was fun and eventful. Some of the highlight include: a car with a bullet hole; two men (paramilitary types) shooting on the top of Hennessey; lumberjacking down trees on the road; bushwhacking on new trails around formerly good trails with trees blocking them; and over all good times of being with best friends--both human and equine.

Just sittin' here musing

It's a gorgeous March morning; the sun is shining on my outside temperature gauge and it reads 67 degrees. Inside it says it's 66! Maybe I should get out of my pajamas (ya think?!) and go outside! But the wind is blowing, so I am sure it is actually much colder; nevertheless, I am sad that we are not ahorseback. We had snow on Tuesday and there is simply too much of it on our regular trails. I wonder if more trees have come down? Which reminds me: my VP says he has a chainsaw for me to take on our rides! He fashioned a chain with handles that will saw a small tree and it's portable. (:

The news on the street is that Lynn's sister-in-law is getting a new horse. I wonder if he (hopefully not a she) will be another squeaky toy for Jupiter?
