Spring

We're almost into summer but the crab apple tree bloomed beautifully this spring. If you look close you can see some dirt to the right of the tree. That's where we buried Bob last fall. I haven't yet decided if we'll just plant grass seed or if perhaps I'll plant flowers. Whatever I do, it was nice that the tree bloomed in such bold colors. I think it was helping me to get over the passing of Bob. The ache is still there but the good memories are abundant.

The horses are anxious for spring to be over and summer to be here. They want grass. I didn't get a chance to pull horses out onto the lawn yesterday. I had someone come over to work on the house and by the time they left, I was too tired to mess with haltering and later catching every single horse. Now I have grumpy horses on my hands.

To make matters worse, I don't know that I'll be able to let them out on the lawn tonight either. I'm hauling Sam and Dude up to Madison for their vet appointment tomorrow. One bad thing about only having a four horse stock trailer. You can't haul a draft and three standard horses in it. Since I'm hauling Sam, Dude, Jim, and Rain to the vet for floats, I'm going to have to make two trips up to Madison and two trips to the vet. Oh well. I'm on the lookout for a six horse slant load trailer. So if you know of anyone selling one, let me know!

I've also decided that since I'll only have two horses in the trailer tomorrow that I'll haul Zeke so we can find out his age instead of just guessing. I'm also planning on hauling Maverick to give him some trailer time and expose him to other things. He's only been off the place to go to the trainers. Otherwise he hasnt' been hauled around like the rest of them. So it should be an inersting day tomorrow. Very busy, very packed day tomorrow.
