Mini Horses
Herd Master
My son (who is living here in my garage apartment AGAIN 
) had mowed 3 acre field at lower end of farm last night -- while I mowed a few 1/2 acre paddocks with the lawn mower. He decided at daybreak to mow more. So he & tractor worked thru another 5 acres before I actually knew he was out there doing it. Good it needed to be done BUT he doesn't realize that he left no places that they "want" to graze in those fields!!! And did all at one time!! Luckily I caught him before he went into another -- where they will be ok for about a week, then another small field at top will last about 3-4 days. By then I can start to rotate back thru ones cut. 
Will grow fast with all the rain.
Since he was feeling like he should help me -- since he is living here -- I suggested that he work the tiller in the garden and fix a section of fence there that the little stallion took out. He says that he WILL at least get the fence fixed and see what time he has left to till. Yes, I did
mention growing and feeding ourselves now & thru winter! And how important it was for me -- and that it was to RAIN several days. That set him into a spin as he has some work scheduled to start Tues and can't do in rain! Needs to do the work to get paid -- yep -- we all have issues
Hmm, just get my garden area secure and tilled, please.
Bay, water & sand sound so good compared to dealing with an "adult". Son has no kids, otherwise I could enjoy the same. Daughter live here on the farm & two of them do NOT get along. My life is really "walking a tightrope" right now between all that is happening. I can see why kids sometimes feel like running away -- it has crossed MY mind.
I think I will be glad to go to work today.....to relax.
