Another project

Our horse housing has been an evolving project. It was well planned initially, but having boarded our horses in Oregon rather having them on the premises, we did not foresee a number of details though I do think our horses have been happy with their "rooms". One thing we really wanted to provide for them this year is shade. It does get hot here (100 degrees today), and I am sure they would be happy with an opportunity to get out of the sun.


Phase 2 (phase 1 being planning and buying materials) started today. (Once a project manager, always a project manager). It involved moving in some extra panels to give the horses egress to both our round pens while we were working in their playpen/arena. Nothing worse than having a horse pestering you wanting to know what you are doing and destroying your building efforts when you turned around. We had no idea this change would be such great fun for them. Especially Buggsy, but also Cody and Bueno, ran around in the "new" space like loonies, kicking up dust that could be seem for miles. Kicking, bucking, snorting, head shaking fun.


Tomorrow we will dig footings and pour them.

And for Webb, and any other bloggers that I follow, I am reading you, but Google does not seem to be able to get the comment problem fixed. I will keep trying, and I am here.

See, here's one of those things that shows how truly FAR apart we live - like on different planets!

Horses racing around kicking up their feet and making dust. I feel like I am looking at the Olde West! What a wonderful image.

The closest I get to that would be the chipmunk running into the drainpipe this morning. Somehow,l not the same. Hope Roadie is ok. Any babes yet?

Well, this is a bit of the Old West. Tombstone is just in the next valley over, and there are a number of people who live here being "cowboys".

Roadie had 3 young'uns, but they have left the nest already. It is difficult to tell the parents from the babes, but we do seem to have a lot of roadrunners around.
