Um...sorta. A day off from fence building that is. I was so draggy today. When talking to Mama this morning, she told me to take the day off from fence building. I agreed pretty quickly because my wrists are still hurting from it. So...I went to the feed store this morning.
I fully intended on feeding my cows first, but I drove right past the road! So, I just went on into town.
I didn't really do anything overly exciting today...I washed my sheets and some filthy clothes...played my guitar for a little bit (yay!!! I've really fallen out of the habit), photographed and listed the lastest pair of socks, and gave Granddaddy one of the pairs with the messed up toes. His face lit up when I handed them to him and he had to try one on. So, I helped him with that since he was flat on his back in that recliner.
I decided to take my slow moving self for a horse ride. Savannah looked at me like I was on the verge of nuts and said, "Are you sure?" I was like, "Yep...he needs to be ridden." He behaved himself pretty well. We walked, trotted, and loped just a tad. I worked on spins--which aren't near a spin yet and a few other things that take patience. No bucks today!
Anyway, there was a providential reason for my ride that I had no idea about--I had a watering hole where I should have had a water trough. That's right...this time it wasn't because the trough had slipped off the mound or the water was pouring out a half-inch hole in the trough. Nope. It was more serious. Some booger broke the pipe off at the base! Anyway, I slogged out there and attempted to plug the hole, but it didn't work, so we just cut the water off to the pasture. Hopefully by tomorrow the water will all be gone and I can work on that. So...I may or may not get back to fence tomorrow. I will have to cart some water out to the calves in the morning, but that is doable.
Sorry if this isn't so interesting tonight...my chatterbox isn't working to great and my hands are stiff. :)
Maybe I'll have more interesting tales to tell tomorrow...
