It's not easy when you're addicted...
LOL!!
I actually forgot this Friday (which is now last Friday!), so I may have been on the Facebook.
But it was accidentally!
I'm trying to make Friday's my blogging day...
It's on my list of stuff to do this year. I figure it will help me push a little harder to do horse stuff, as I'll need it for fodder on my blog! LOL!!
We will see how that goes!
Fingers crossed it's a success.
My little helper and I have begun enjoying the extra minutes of daylight as much as we can with the winter weather that has finally settled.
Kase and I don't like to be cold... Luckily we haven't hit any new real low temps recently.
It's hanging out in the 30's during the day and only dropping into the high teens in the evenings.
The little human refuses to wear gloves, so when his hands are too cold he will let us go inside. Some days it's pretty quickly, other days not so much. I've tried putting mittens on him, but to no avail. He's not happy if he doesn't see his hands-fingers.
I suppose that we will get there eventually!
At least twice a week we do our little ritual...
We take the Danger in the back we have some alfalfa cubes and some hay. First we stop at the gate and feed everyone some cubes then its out to make sure that the big gate isn't snowed in after snow falls. (We also take a shovel and course.) Then we go into the gate and check the large bale and put out our few flakes of hay that we've got in the back.
Then he insists we get on the tractor. Whether we need to put out another round bale or not.
The kid loves the tractor.
We drive it around the property checking the fences (or that's what I tell myself) and then up the driveway and through the neighborhood.
We're weird like that! (0:
On the occasion that the tractor won't start, he cries like his heart is broken.
It's quite funny and sad at the same time.
I still hate our tractor...and haven't given up on the thought of getting rid of the damn thing.
Maybe next year! (0:
To keep my kid happy and my sanity I suppose, I've started keeping the batter charger in the barn...
So if it doesn't start on it's own, I hook the thing up and put it on assist to start and fire it up.
Kase likes that process, crazy kid!
I just like it when it starts and we can do our "work"!
I caught a few pretty good pictures of my two kids last Sunday.
Pretty proud of this picture...If only I would have pulled the hay string off of the gate.
I use it to pull the gate closed when I'm driving through on the tractor (yes, it's that small!) and or when I'm packing Kase through the gate.
It works good as a cheat tool, but looks like crap.
But what do you do?
It's real life!! LOL!!
She really does love him...
And I think he loves her too!!
Will he ever ride??
Who knows, but his mom sure hopes so!!!
We're definitely ready for spring around here! Mild winter or not.
And my sister is making it worse!
I talked to her on the phone on Monday and she already has her horse agenda worked out for March, April, and May...
Pretty sure she was talking about June and July too! LOL!!
Busy, busy, busy woman my sister!
She's already started legging her horses up to start her barrel season.
Meanwhile at my house, my horses are still sporting snow mustaches.
In this instance, it's about location, location, location! (0:
Followed by drive, drive, drive!
My sister sure doesn't lack that.
I'm hoping to be following her around with Kase taking LOTS of pictures this year. We did't do as much traveling together last two years, for obvious reasons, but this year I'm hoping will be different!
It looks like things are going to be pretty busy at The Barrel Racing Chiropractor's place and I hope to be messing around there a bit too.
Well I've rambled on enough for today, and last Friday too. LOL!

Yup Facecrack can be pretty time consuming!
Kase is such a little man.
I thought about you as I passed the Rathdrum exit when I was taking Amber to Missoula- I was on a gun'n'run trip though!
