One Bucket at a Time
It’s 7:30 and I’d like to just pop some Ibuprofen and go to bed. It’s been a day.

I didn’t post yesterday as I spent most of the day outside with dogs and fat tire bike and horseback riding, taking advantage of a windless, winter day before the arctic blast of today. Today will be a housecleaning and writing day. But, oh, yesterday…
I was able to go to “Cavalia” last Saturday with my friend Cheryle and her husband and that guy you’ve seen in a few photos. I’m not sure whether he wants to “publicly” be a part of my life but hanging around me is, well, kind of public. We started out the evening by having dinner…
I was looking at my To Do list last Sunday and feeling my anxiety rise. I’d already crossed off a few things – like ‘Make bread and yogurt’ – deciding I’d buy them instead. ‘Clean house’ was stabbed through with a jagged black line. Sadly, this is how most of my weekends start off. Hell,…
I took Tuesday off from work simply to take advantage of a day of sunshine, that’s how sun deprived I’ve been feeling. It was well worth it. I spent more time than I probably should have trying to catch up reading other people’s blogs that I’d fallen behind with during my poetry blitz. I also…
Okay, I rarely post more than once a week anymore, but I can not keep such weather joy to myself. I must share! My drive home from work: The dogs have a better attitude about it. The snow-fall hoods me round;In wood and water, earth and air,A silence everywhere. — Loreena McKennitt, “Snow” A bit of…

Oh crap…you’re funny: )
wow.. you are one hard working gal!
Your dog looked like he was having fun in the water!
Now, I think I will clean my paddocks tomorrow.. you have inspired me!
Oh, the joys of scooping poo! Don’t ya just love it? You have a much better way of doing it, with a tractor. I use my arms, an apple picker and a wheelbarrow! Not fun!
I always love to see sweet Java! We took our dogs to the river today and they had so much fun!
Whew – I guess that is one thing I don’t miss about horses – all the manure shoveling!
BTW – that first flower picture is Rudbeckia (Black-eyed Susans).
Horses are a ton of work, or so it looks – a ‘ton’ of manure!
Glad you had fun before all the hard work, and we’re doing a rain dance for you.
Jan – Yes, Java does love the water. I hope you had some luck with your cleanup plans.
Paint Girl – I still use a fork to scoop and just throw it in the bucket. I’m not coordinated enough with the bucket to use it to shovel.
Dog Geek – I should have known that they were Black-eyed Susans. Thanks.
KB – It was a good weekend. It helps getting a bunch of stuff done and getting some walking and riding in too (plus some family time today).
Lynn – I missed you up at the top. Thank goodness I have a sense of humor. Right?
