A Winters Weekend


Saturday:

So I thought I would have a slow weekend and get some writing done, but I did not. So as I look at the calendar today I realize it is already Wednesday and I’ve got nothing wrote for this week.

I had planned on taking this past weekend to start writing about each horse. I figured with the cold weather I would be spending my weekend indoors. But it was a pleasant surprise when I got an invite from a dear friend to spend Saturday with her.

How about a little Road Trip, Zelma here we come. So off to her home town we went with a couple other adventure seekers. What a quiet country town, it was so nice getting away from the same environment. Given our town is not big, and either is the town I’m currently living in. But when you are in a town with a population of around 80 and absolutely no cell service it can be very peaceful.

The best place we saw all day was her parents’ lake, so beautiful and peaceful. Nestled down in a little valley where 4-wheel drive is a must. Sitting on the back deck of the boat house one can get lost in nature and dreams. I hope I get invited to spend some time out there this summer.

 

Thank you so much for a wonderful day and I hope there are many more to come.

Sunday:

            Our young stallion Bullys Streakin never gives us a dull moment. He has a Jolly Ball that he plays with all the time, but he has managed to throw it over the fence for the hundredth time. He managed to find a black piece of tarp; this is a new and fun toy for him. He will just play and play; rearing, stomping, running, dropping to his knees, he gets plumb crazy with it.

I have a short video of him playing with this, I missed the best part but this gives you a small idea of the entertainment he gives us.
 

I cannot wait till spring when everything quits looking so rough.
