From Jim: Evening chores are done-feeding and watering and dinner is ready to go. I do the cooking and menu planning because I enjoy it and Donna doesn't. Got enough firewood cut and split for the next few days. We have a lot of downed oaks that are well seasoned-just need cut. The fallen tree I was working on today is in the lower pasture and I got to visit with that herd. There's seventeen members, two mules, thirteen horses, a pony and a miniature. They're great! Many of the horses are Quarterhorses or Quarabs, with a draft and two draft crosses to boot. This makes for a very mellow tone. Leeso is a tri-colored paint with one blue eye. He's a really sweet colt, with a mixed up paint job. (I generally think of Paints as Quarterhorses with poor paint jobs.) Anyway, it was nice to have some time with the lower herd. We had a great visit from Laura and Jeanette. They brought homemade goodies. I'm always up for that. Our tropical December continues, but has been cold enough in the morning to kill the flies. Hurray! They all deserve to die! The pond is full and has blossomed with a thick covering of algae with the warm days. Looks swampy. Nice day today! We get a lot of those around here. Take the time to love on your critters. It's a good use of time!
