Quote: When we first came here, 44 yrs. ago, it'd start snowing in December & many times we didn't see the ground 'til April. Largest snow we've had was 3'; Washington's B'day, '83. Until last winter, I hadn't fired up the snow blower in 3 years. Never can tell what's going to happen.

I know you''re joking, but she takes in rescues - don't rule it out!!!!
Oh, that explains the worry over this bird.

Yuuuuuuup.

GOT THE HORSE HOME. NOw I'm dying. LOL We walked him a mile in 90+ degree heat to get him back to our house. LOL I used a bucket of feed to convince him he wanted to cooperate with us.

In other news - either there's a big litter of baby possums, or my life is a video game that resets every evening. So I can squish a baby possum with a rock over and over and over and over....



Too hot and sweaty to do any more, and it's dark anyway. Stick a fork in me, I'm done. I'll start again tomorrow.

Is he no longer able to carry a rider?

He can - but I'm not an experienced enough rider to ride a skittish, uncooperative horse on a canal home bareback, with out reminding him of his previous experience and work. I like to start safe with an unknown horse.

he's an ex barrel racer, but hasn't been ridden in about 10 years and didn't want to be caught.


Edit to add : I've always ridden bareback, and ridden horses who actually liked me.

Interesting how hot in summers? I suppose there's lots of humidity.

68* here with 40 mile per hour wind gusts. All the pollen in the valley is being blown around. Nothing like the calm night yesterday. 7:00 pm

Well I guess I'll keep my dry 110* days when they come. That's only for a few weeks then back to the high 90* to 100*.
