Season off to a good start.
Friday, May 26, 2006
We just had our inaugural ride this weekend, and the horses and guests were terrific! I always get anxious, like I did during finals in college, on our first ride. Inevitably everything always goes well. I worried for nothing. I am also glad to report that we have found our final two horses. I hope to have them up by this weekend.Bob Jeffreys Clinic coming this weekend, and I am excited to observe.
We are busy tying up loose ends and my new favorite piece of equipment is the wood chipper! Small trees go in and mulch comes out. I was also given a lesson in chain saw usage by my husband. I love the freedom now. I definitely need more practice though. Hardest part is getting it started. I have honed my construction skills, and putting roofs on now are not a problem. I survived two tin roof installations and did not slip. However I prefer terra firma.
We also were able to cut and pick up our first pasture of hay. Made it just under the wire - a terrific rain storm followed shortly after. Thanks to our wonderful neighbors we were able to get it up.Gotta get moving. Many things to think about. Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Happy trails,
Catherine
