Another fantastic 75 degree day here in Central Texas. My thought was to go to the matinee movie and see American Sniper. My reality was why waste all of this beautiful sunshine. I got into the golf cart and gathered my eight millionth load of rocks, slight exaggeration, only slight. I have been gathering rocks from the horse pastures, cow pastures, and horse arena for five months now, no exaggeration. I am building a dry creek bed from the front of my house down to the pond. Today I thought why dry? So I decided to put a pond and waterfall at the top. Women are known for moving furniture, I move rocks almost daily. Excellent exercise let me tell you.
I enjoy rock picking around the horses, they are so curious. They tend to follow me like puppies, you do need to be careful about bending over in front of some of them. You are likely to get nipped. The cows are curious also but much more timid.
I live on a working ranch with a professional arena. Cowboys roping steer at all hours of the day and night. I enjoy watching them but it does get old. My grand daughters are learning to rope. The six year old has no fear of horses and no interest in roping. She is quite happy to bring the steer up and run the chutes. The nine year old is a fantastic roper and has no love of horses. Their father is a bit disappointed, I say let them play.
Well break is over and sunshine is wasting. Hope you have lots of sunshine in your life…. enjoy.
Each day a blessing
