That ol’ northwest wind was howling! Plumb felt like winter. So….. if March came in like a lamb, kind’a, does that mean it’s going out like a lion, kind’a? 🙂 I had plans to take the filly and Colonel up to Brad’s this afternoon and Brad was going to start working with the filly andContinue reading “Windy and cold”

Latest entry in horse training
5th session While I was waiting for Cindy to get home, I went out to catch the colts. Colonel followed me into the barn, so I put a halter on him, very easily, then tied him to the fence and saddled him up. Brushed him a bit as his hair showed tracks from the lastContinue reading “Latest entry in horse training”
Not bad….
Well, the storm has passed. We got maybe 5 inches of snow. Drifted up a little, but not bad. It’s 35 degree’s out right now and the sun is shining. I fed with the tractor so I could move snow around. Then sorted horses and turned the unused ones out and kept in the coltContinue reading “Not bad….”

Escort (Kleenex warning) My lead flight attendant came to me and said, “We have an H.R. on this flight.” (H.R. stands for human remains.) “Are they military?” IContinue reading “Worth repeating”
Ash Wednesday
This is the first day of our Lenten season. We are called to do more, with less, for ourselves and others, to broadly sum it up. I used to always just give something up that I really enjoyed, as a sacrifice. Sacrifice is love. If we love someone we sacrifice for them. Our children, spouses,Continue reading “Ash Wednesday”
Colonel
I will post all of these entries, starting with this post, under a new heading on the top of the bar, as Horse training. I have decided as one of my Lenten vows to work with Colonel every day, thru’ Lent. He is a coming 3 year old gelding we raised. He is out ofContinue reading “Colonel”

Been doing leather work and odds and ends. Had a little snow the other morning. Sounds like more coming in tonight and tomorrow. It’s wet, we’ll take it.
