Flying By

Every month I mention that the previous month flew by. I'm not sure when time started to move faster. Must be an age thing.


We've had a lot going on lately and everything has been jam packed with activities. I have been checking horses in the dark the last few weeks because all of our activities are taking so long.


Last week Tommy and Skippy entertained the residents of Avera Prince of Peace Retirement Community. We also brought home three of the four new residents. The fourth horse refuses to load. We spent 1.5 hours last week trying to get her to load to no avail. I have been overly stressed over the entire deal from the moment we were contacted a month ago. We've had family vacations, severe storms, tornados, massive flooding, sickness (me no one else), and the paying job all to contend with. I think I'm close to burned out but life continues.


I had hoped we could work on the place to get things ready for winter but the weather is supposed to turn starting tomorrow so that may make life more challenging. I may be walking the new horse home (it's a good 20 mile walk). And we still need to get blankets ready and the house painted, the manure hauled away and the fencer to get here to figure out our fencing fiasco.


But the paying job is once again my focus rather than the Sanctuary paperwork so I'll be focused on keeping a roof over our head rather than getting anything else done for the next little while.
