Good Friday Jessie

I think Good Friday Jessie (Jessie to us) is starting to learn the routine. Every night I take her out so she can have her grain mash. Last night I had to leave her tied to the hay ring to fix a gate the other herd and pushed down off the block and came back. Jessie must have picked her head up to look around because there was grain on the ground. All the other times when I hover over her, she won't lift her head.


She sorta stands to be caught to put a halter on to lead her out. I need to work with the other two geldings so they get used to getting caught as well. (I also need to work on my personal horse, Lightening).


When I had Lace and Jessie grained, Jim wandered up. Leave it to Jim to wander up from the pasture just at the tail end of feeding time. So I got his grain mash going and let him into the barn. We need to clean out the leanto portion of the barn. They always poop right in front of the door. So while I was fighting with the door, Jim decided he was coming in come hell or high water. Luckily he didn't hurt me but he did surprise me. So now I have one more thing on my list to get that door fixed.


Sadly Jim had to stand in the barn for a few hours while Mike went to help with a prayer service and I took care of the kids. I don't think Jim minded one bit. He's not exactly a "Barn Babe" but he doesn't mind hanging out and chilling.


I wish the days weren't getting so short so fast. We have a bunch of projects that need to be started before winter arrives. I have a feeling winter will be here sooner than I want. I always think I'll be organized but this year has been a real struggle. I blame juggling three kids but in truth it is juggling the oldest's activities. I hate to see what happens when all three are in activities. I may lose my  mind. Sadly we have cold and dreary weather in the forecast for tomorrow so I'm not sure how much stuff we'll get done. If I can't get the horse home tomorrow with help from trainers, I'll be leading her home on Sunday and that will burn up the last nice day we'll probably have that I can get anything done.


I am to the point where I can easily say, I need help. So if anyone wants to help in any fashion, let me know. There's lost of stuff that doesn't directly involve the horses. Or If you want to be directly involved, there's projects there too! There is no end in sight for the list of stuff that needs to get done so whatever your skills and whatever you like to work on, I am sure we have that project! So stop on out!
