This turkey is. Our contribution to the feast is a pumpkin pie, key lime/cheesecake pie, green bean casserole, and mushrooms in brown gravy - done and ready for transport!

This turkey is, too. I'm having to do the whole shootin' match myself - we do a scaled-back version here at home, we do the "family get-together" on a later date because of a scheduling conflict on "the" day for my sister-in-law.

But the thing I am most thankful for right now is that Blondie rejoined the herd today.

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!

I, too, do the cooking around here, but at least the guys do the cleaning!

Sooooo, BB2K decided to pull Latte out, and give her a little exercise. It had been a while since the Big Blonde was worked, so as horses will do, she gave BB2K a bit of grief. Nothing awful; nobody ate dirt, but she definitely was kept on her toes.

When BB2K went to put her back in her paddock, she had to go through the minis' paddock to do it (the part with the other gate is still inaccessible due to flooding), and Syd decided to give her brattitude about having another horse in her space.

What with one thing and another, BB2K's attention wasn't on the gate, and it should have been . . . .

She put Latte in her paddock, latched the gate, and turned around just in time to see all three of the minis blasting out of the still-open gate into the yard. We had seeded the lawn with ryegrass, and the lure of all that lush. yummy green was more than a horse can resist.

Muttering something unladylike, I went to help.

The minis were feeling pretty full of themselves, and really didn't want the fun to end so soon.

They went this way.

We went this way.

They went that way.

I went that way, and they went another way.

BB2K went the other way, and they went yet another way . . .

What a circus! The whole time, I was thinking, "hooray! Blondie's running! I just wish that blankety-blank thing wasn't running away from me!"

They pretty much covered all of our yard several times over.

Betsy nearly crashed on the foot bridge, and Blondie wound up skidding and splashing through one of the frog ponds/water hazards.

Each went skating at least once when they galloped onto some of the metal roofing that was lying on the ground, waiting to be put on the roof of the rabbitry (great, hoofprint shaped dents on the roof . . . . at least nobody got cut on a corner).

They even went and visited one of the neighbors, who fortunately wasn't home at the time (I don't really want to go explain the hoofmarks in their lawn - maybe they won't notice??)

Eventually, each was captured and put away, then BB2K retrieved the goats who had taken advantage of the open gate to go scavenge spilled feed in the rabbitry.

Whew! I think Latte was the least "exercised" of the lot of us!

Sounds exhausting.

 

[sourland]

I'll bet that Critter is thrilled.

 

[Bunnylady]

Of course he is - he didn't have to do the chasing!

 

[sourland]

And he won't have to repair the lawn?

 

[Bunnylady]

No. *sigh* I will.

 

[Alaskan]

YEAH!!!!


Repair work!
