So we're supposed to be getting monsoon-like rain tonight and tomorrow. Oh joy...as long as it doesn't all freeze and turn to ice I guess that will be just fine.
Joe and I went across the street yesterday afternoon to watch the neighbor move her manure pile. I know you are all sitting there asking yourselves if I have lost my mind. But, know this: it was the highlight of Joe's day since Amanda rented a Bobcat to do the job. Joe was transfixed as the little machine went back and forth, scooping and dumping. He took a short break from the action to sit on Miss Amanda's tractor. He was quite cute as he moved the wheel about pretending to shift the gear's and shouting down at the dogs to get out of the way. His only dilemma was that he could not watch the little skid-steer (Bobcat) and sit on the tractor at the same time. (There was a big wooden wall in the way.) We were over there for about an hour. I tried my best to make a graceful exit but to no avail. When he realized I intended to take him home he became tearful and insisted we should stay. Poor little guy; if it had been a little warmer I would've let him stay a bit longer but his little cheeks were quite pink and I was freezing (Not having the luxury of a snow suit like Mr Joe).
His day (and mine) still had more excitement in store, while we were eating dinner the large wooden wall that had been blocking Joe's view was brought out and dumped in the burn pit across the road from our front yard. I was almost as excited as Joe when I saw this happening. (Now Amanda only has to get the floor in this barn leveled and get the footing and the indoor riding arena is ready to be used!!!! Yea !!!!! I cannot wait !
Rory is doing well, working on crawling, he can get himself up but ends up going backwards. In the next week or so I am sure he will find his forward gear.
Well I better run out and put the horses in so I don't get drenched if we ever get this rain.
Love you all,
Nikki
