A Crown Royal bag for marbles. A deck of cards in my back pocket. I would probably be lying if I said there were no dice in my front pocket.

Fencing: DH and I put up a MILE of woven wire fencing, long ago. I became expert at driving steel posts in with the 'pounder', whatever it's called, and all those fence staples. Never again! Just keeping it in reasonable shape is almost too much. The electric tape and rope on top, all replaced this year, fun.
And we still have horses, WHY?!?
