I saw this blurb today on Facebook. This was my childhood. And strangely, the other kids did think I was weird
Edited to add: I texted this to my mom and she asked “who wrote that about you” and was upset someone was being mean to me all these years later.
Scary!

Today’s project was to construct, hang and load two new hay barrels. And I am happy to say, project complete. These two barrels (the two on the right in the photo) were free because they both some some small drill holes in them. The blue one also has an awkward bigger hole in its side (you can see it in the photo).
The hard part was getting them up high enough to hook them. Once hug I don’t take them down often.

I just saw this cartoon on Facebook. It says it’s by Kellie Lewis. I laughed and thought – how true.

Black Friday morning Rich and I picked up a loaf of hay, took it home, and filled my hay shed. Yea.
Later we had a pet emergency and had to rush Ash (Rich’s dog) to the vet. I was in the process of moving ponies around so I stuck them into the field that the hay shed is in.
This morning I went out and found Simon in the act of mass hay distraction.
It took a little work to get cleaned up (and every hay barrel and net is currently topped off). And the ponies are moved into a different field.

This past weekend I went to tack up Poe and found some damage to his saddle. It’s a well used older Stubben and repair work tends to be a necessity every so often. Luckily I live near one of the best saddle repair places around.
About a year ago he replaced the billits on this saddle. A few years ago he custom made me an Australian girth with elastic on it. He has stitched up an array of straps and I have even brought him friends much loved tack for work.
This time I needed a patch put on the underside of one knee roll and a stirrup leather keeper replaced.
I dropped my saddle off on Monday and Tuesday morning I got a call that it was ready for pick up.
Bravo Martins Harness Shop in Dayton. Excellent work, great customer service, reasonable prices, and quick turn around.
