This Wind Blows

That wind!?!?!! I can see why west river is having a blizzard. If we had any bit of snow there definately would be a blizzard outside. Even with all the wind, the horses seemed rather calm. I figured there would be a lot of commotion and problems getting everyone settled for the night. But for whatever reason the horses behaved beautifully.

After getting everyone settled for the night I even had time to give Dude a quick grooming. He looks good from far away but when you get up close, his coat is starting to look really tough. Dude didn't seem to mind me messing with him. I wish I had more time at night to get everyone groomed. Although I have to admit, I am in the house before it's dark out. :-)

Where's the grain?

Harumph. Where's my food?

I did feel a couple of sprinkles while I as out doing chores but no rain yet and it's already 7:30 pm. I'm sort of hoping for a blizzard so that I can play with the horses. I hate having to kick the horses out of the barn in the dark morning. I would rather let it be light out and not rush them. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

Suprisingly Maverick and Brego did exceedingly well. I thought Maverick was mad at me for having our "discussion" last week but he either got over it or realized I was helping him get out of the wind. He didn't once get spooky while I let him into his box stall. I pulled Brego out first and tied him to a post. I figured as long as they can see each other hopefully they won't flip out. And lucky for me, Brego decided to do some pawing and got rid of all the tumbleweeds that have been getting in my way. What a good boy!

I'm actually really suprised at Maverick. I simply can't read him like I can the other horses. Maybe I'll never understand him. But he behaved beautifully. I'm hoping he'll continue to behave tomorrow morning when I have to take him out and put him back in his muddy pen.

Where's my food? I want it now. FEED ME!

Brego is really starting to work his way into my heart. This morning when I went out to feed them, he greated me with a warm welcome and a "please feed me" whinny. I'm really starting to see him blossom. There seems to be a different light in his eyes lately. I'm not really sure what it is. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to really mess with him lately. It's been throw some hay and go. So I'm not sure if it's all in my head or if I'm really seeing a new side to Brego. I'm going to go with the second option.

Hello?!?! You feed me now, please. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Look at me! I'm behaving like a perfect angel.

Brego really is starting to grow on me more and more. Isnt' he so darn cute? Of course, I have a thing for bays. Ok, I admit it, I have a thing for bays, blacks, buckskins, grays, sorrels, palominos, you name it, I like it!

Well, lets keep our fingers crossed that we either miss out on this blizzard or we get slammed so I don't have to worry about going any where. I can't see how we can be in a winter weather advisory when the next county over is in a blizzard watch. I guess if I was on the other side of the county it would be different but when I'm only three miles from the county in a blizzard watch I get a bit paranoid. It must be the farmer in me that worries about the weather. :-)
