Sunshine

Late yesteday afternoon the clouds broke up and out came the sun. It really brightened up my mood. I pulled on my Muck Boots and accomplished a few chores. The horses water trough needed a good cleaning. I had purposefully let it get low for this reason. I tackled that quickly, it seems that I wash it once a week so I am pretty adept in my tackling it with speed. Of course, the entire time I was doing this task, my old guy was standing over me. Occassionally he'd rest his muzzle on the small of my back as I was bent over scrubbing, or he would try to run off with my scrubbing brush. After I was satisfied with my job well done, I filled it to the top with fresh H20. Scooter took a deep drink then like any other loving horse, gave me a big, wet nuzzle of thanks.

My 2yo and his daddy made a short trip to the dump with some junk and yard clutter that was left over from last summer. I groomed Scooter and let him in the yard to roam around some. I jumped on him bareback with his halter and lead-rope, we rode down our short lane. 8yo A. from the roundup club was leading her brown and white pony down the road, we waited for her to pass by our lane so we could visit. I asked her why she was leading her pony. She informed me her pony had just had her hooves trimmed and was a bit sore, so she wasnt going to ride for 2-3 days. Her pony looked okay to me, infact, the plump brown and white pony looked very healthy. But, I was not going second guess A., after all-no one else knows my horse as well as I do. I complimented her pony on her purple halter, a gift from me that I picked up at a garage sale. It was a few dollars well spent! She was in a rush because the church bus coming to pick up her up, it was also picking up my 12 for his youth group meeting. He likes going to this church, its not Catholic, but I could care less, he has an interest in good things and being a good person, he can attend the church of his choice. I watched A. lead Pepper away. Just about that time, hubby and son #2 returned from thier excursion. Hubby was desperately wanting/needing a shower, so he went inside while our 2 yo and I hung out outside. We snapped some pictures.
This is a rabbit thats been hanging about. S. was tickled to see it hopping around until he got alittle too loud, then little rabbit scampered off.

We were going to see "A T.rex Named Sue" in Norman, OK a few hours drive, but since the weekend weather looks nice, were going to stay home, possibly..oh no please no... camp out. We'll go see "A T.rex Named Sue" next weekend when our area and surrounding communities are invaded (literally) by bikers from all over the USA for MAYFIT . Ive attended this function before, and all I'll say is ummm wow. Its hosted by Osage County Independent Bikers.
