No doubt about it -this weekend – particularly Friday – well it sucked.
BUT – with an ending comes a new beginning – always.
I got my hair did – going to take that grey hair and rock it – now we are in transition but I have this lovely stylist who just put light colours every where soooo – when that pesky grey starts rearing it’s fugly root – I’m good and don’t have to rush off the store for yet another box of hair colour.
The young man who lives across the street was so very kind to bring me flowers – hand picked flowers I might add – to put on Little Horse’s final resting place – what a gentleman. He then collected my eggs – all of them – for me and waved good bye and dashed across the street.
My sister and her “herd” of children came over and made this most amazing monument from an old wash tub and plants – it’s so pretty and so fitting.
AND the out pouring of love and support that I have gotten from everyone has just been super – I am so touched.
Life on the farm has to move on.
We introduced Big Horse and B Horse this weekend. A little posturing and then they settled in – interesting. Unfortunately B Horse and Girl Horse will not be buddies – he likes her just a little too much- nudge nudge – wink wink – know what I mean?
We are going to re-configure barn – AGAIN – to accommodate B Horse this coming cold season.
Hubs spent the majority of the day clearing scrub – we will blow a door through the barn and block off the big stall so he has shelter.
In a perfect world – my two geldings and mare would live in perfect harmony – like they did with Little Horse – but alas – times – they are a’changin’ so we will be rockin’ two paddocks until things settle.
The Bock Bock’s have a better containment system that allows them more “yard time” and not on super max lock down which is good.
It’s a little empty right now- missing Little Horse something fierce – but truly – it’s OK – it will be OK.
More New Beginnings will happen soon.
Hell – I have to start posting/worrying about our upcoming vacation and that is always a delicate balance!!!
