Oh yeah, have you gone for a ride yet?

Today if everything goes as planned I will be going for a ride.
Yesterday's plan was ruined by the rain. I hope to be back from town early to go this afternoon. I expect Kupid to be a bit hot and forward today too ..My back is fine so I don't expect any problems. I will get some pictures today of us..

Yikes, trees in your gutters!
We don't have gutters, and it's a mixed bag. It's nice to not have to clean them out, but it's annoying to go out the door and get your head showered.

When we were young marrieds we rented an old house. It was dilapidated but cheap. We were cleaning one evening right after moving in, the bedroom light fixture was very dingy, barely letting any light through, so dh was taking it off so we could clean it. He yelled for me to come quick and turn the light off. I ran and found him on the ladder, holding the fixture in place with dirty water sloshing around in it! We were pretty happy he hadn't been electrocuted.
That house motivated us to get out of there and buy our own.

We didn't buy this place because of the house. It definitely needs lots of work but slowly it's happening. My barn is nicer than the house..

We didn't buy our first house for the house either .
It was a major fixer upper, but the payments were no more than rent and it was ours. We cleaned it out with scoop shovels and wheelbarrows if that gives you any idea of the former owners habits. It was a good thing, but I never want to work that hard on a house again.

Have a great ride! It should be exhilarating! Don't do your 101st fall today, haha.

I went for an hour’s ride. As predicted Kupid was hot and forward. A couple of dogs charged a fence and almost unseated me.
It was a great ride all the same though

Yay! Kupids just trying to tell you to get him out more often

@thistlebloom
I must thank you for the inspiration. You and your Mustang have given me back my desire to ride again. I plan to go tomorrow morning if the weather is good. Not many places I can really go around here except down gravel roads. The one trail is too congested by young people on quads and dirt bikes. I have been down there a few times and each time Kupid is not comfortable and I can't risk injury to either of us.
I think I might put up a sign at the mail box asking others if I can ride with them? But then again I don't need to meet any crazies either..

Holy smokes it's pouring here this morning.
I am planning to rake up the loose hay on the ground in my goat pen today.
I have no idea when we will get around to building the feeders? Way to many other projects on the go right now.
We are removing the shower doors in the bathroom and I bought a really nice cloth shower curtain yesterday plus the bar to hang it on. Still need to pick up the plastic liner. I plan to paint my bathroom a blue colour. I will get looking at paint colours.
I need to clean out my small garage because once Bindi's puppies are running around I will move the monsters out there with a heat lamp. Or have something set up in the basement? I will figure something out before the poopers are rowdy..

A Tribute to my Dad..❤
Today marks 27 years since I last held his hand. Tomorrow it's 27 years since he passed away..

I am the same age as my Dad was when he passed. It's sure doesn't seem like it's been that many years..
