Perhaps a brief introduction is in order since I have not blogged in quite a long time! It has been very busy and it's amazing that I have a couple minutes to type. Let's see..what have I been doing since last post.....boy, don't know where to begin!? Exciting news first?! Sure why, not? Monica and I got to go horse camping at Jubilee on Mother's Day weekend! (Happy Mothers day in advance to my mother!) Highlights of that trip was spending time with my sister and Miss Kitty. You could also add chasing a raccoon up a tree! : )
Then it was time for hay. This year the first cutting was unusually good so we decided to get a load of hay from our favorite supplier, Troy, (sorry no last names-he's all MINE!!) Then about two weeks after first cutting we filled up the rest of the barn with 2 second cutting racks which will hopefully last a l o n g time! Specially, since I worked too hard and too fast and ended up getting overheated-yuck! Good thing for my RA (rheumatoid arthritis) it slows me down a little otherwise, I'd probably do 10 times more work! Yes, I'm a hard worker and don't mind working hard as long as I got my Jesus, my family, my horses, and a big truck-haha! Below: pictures from camping trip.
Jubilee has some very scenic views!
Deep Spot!
Taking a needed leg stretch! Below is a delicious breakfast-love it when I can start fires!
I'm also very sore from spreading ag lime in our little arena roundpen-next is sand-but my back says "forget it!" Yes, I have horses, but no tractor, no skid steer-nothing but my two hands and rakes and shovels. I'm thankful that Monica was able to help me for almost an hour-it was about a 3 hour job and I should probably check it our again to make sure I've got it where I want it before the sand comes. I think I'll ride today instead because I NEED to ride more as I am going for sure to His Ranch in Taylor, Missouri and I want my horse to be in top trick horse mode and good horse mode-which could prove to be hard, but I'm letting it up to God for how it all turns out. Well, I gotta get a move on, but wanted to give a smidge update! : )
Hey Sandy, I love the pictures! Glad to hear you're for sure going to His Ranch. Do you know when?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am going the 17th through 20 or 21st of July. So, 3 to 4 days or depending on how tired I get/how my horses cope with the excitement. Prayer would be great-I'm getting nervous that we'll be a complete disaster, but where is my faith, right?! Gotta start somewhere!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's really exciting!! I will definitely be praying for you. You won't be a complete disaster-anything with horses can't be all bad. :)
