Good point about her being cautious. It's a different kind of confidence she has to have in me when I'm up on her, than when I'm on the ground walking her. She's crazy smart, and the most observant horse I've ever had. She notices if a wheelbarrow is left in a different place

sounds like she's well on her way to being quite the trail horse. really enjoying her progress.

Maybe ya need some beaver to give ya a hand....

Only if it knew which trees to cut!

She did want to follow a group of 6 horses

Probably heard about the "social distancing" requirement.

I Have some exciting news! Exciting to me at least. We are having two metal buildings put up in 4 to 6 weeks. One will be a 20x25 hay barn and the other a 20x30 garage with a 12' leanto. I won't know what to do with myself next winter not having to remove snow daily from the CP and tarped hay "tube" or the CP and tarp wood shed.
Dh has been working on the pads. We had 24 (?) yards of 3/4 minus rock delivered yesterday and he spent a few hours *distributing it.

One of our excellent neighbors was driving by Saturday and saw dh out working on the pad, seeing how much out of level it was with his old survey transit. He pulled in and offered his laser level, and also said he would bring his *tractor over for dh to use moving the rock. They are incredibly generous and it has saved dh hours and hours of work with a wheelbarrow and shovel.
Wow is all we can say, and thank you Lord for such caring neighbors.


Kid#2 will be here in a minute to work with me so I need to go, but I'll be back! I haven't even told y'all about Syringas 16th ride, and I know you can hardly contain yourselves waiting for the blow by blow description of that!

I'm currently reading through (on page 11) and I was so engrossed that I had forgotten that I'd turned the stove on under my cast iron pan! My son walks in, looks at me and points to the pan on the stove...it's smoking and the air has gotten quite smokey...he just shook his head at me and turned it off...I didn't even notice... We get some snow, but I'm glad that I'm not as far North as you!

You need to practice "safe computing"!!!!
Glad it was a nice heavy cast iron pan instead of a light aluminum one that might have warped if not melted some.

I was sitting less than 10' away...I would have caught on eventually...

Oh my goodness, that's crazy...I would like to think I would have caught on faster than that...

Wow!!!! How nice to get new buildings put up....and to have such a nice neighbor!
