Full of beans!

What a beautiful holiday weekend we had! The weather was just perfect and grandma was in a good mood so DH and I slipped off for a ride down the road Saturday evening. As we pasted the neighbor’s house their white (wolf looking) dog jumped out behind the trees barking at the horses. Lucy jumped and so did Bell but I think I did too. As we continued down the road Lucy found lots of items shy at so we did lots and lots of circles. When she wasn’t shying, I was working on getting her to rate my seat at the trot. It was a fun ride but I don’t think she’s been that full of beans since I first got her! Hopefully she was just feeling her oats and she’ll be back to her normal lazy self next ride out.

Cat’s leg is healing well. It is still pretty swollen but it is going down slowly. She’s self medicating (cleaning her leg) so I’m letting her do all of the work. Here she is resting her leg on the fence so she can lick the inside of her leg (she just got done licking as the camera snapped).
It is starting to get cooler here (54* this am) and the ponies are starting to fluff up. Black went over to MIL's to give my pasture a rest and Bell will be joining her in a few weeks when DH leaves to farm.

Ah, fall is in the air. Leaves are starting to drop here. It was only 98 on Saturday.

Who's scheduled for the Tx trip now?

And, hey, I got on the Downunder show as one of the people talking about how great Clinton is. I know you don't have RFD, it was only about 3 seconds...I barely recognized me.

Lu is on schedule as of now w/Abby running a close second. There is no way Cat can heal up and get going before then. I'm only 50 rides short on her (although I think she'd be fine).

I'm planning on watching that episode on NWC. They've already uploaded it so I'll look for you.
