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.

An uneventful Valentine’s Day, which was part of the problem. A tough day not to think about lost love.“Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye old friendI can’t make you stayI can’t spend another ten yearsWishing you would anywayHow the sky turns to fire against a telephone wireAnd even I’m getting tired of useless desires” Java and I went…
Yesterday I got both Murphy and Luke out for their first ride of the season. Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos to prove that I worked with my horses so you’ll just have to take my word for it. I haven’t figured out yet how to take pictures of myself lunging or riding the horses. Maybe…
I cannot know what this time, this circumstance, a loss, a gain is going to mean to the entirety of my life. Why do I waste so much time resisting my circumstances instead of looking with eyes that see neither negative or positive but just go ahead and live each moment as though it is…
I’ve come to rely on my GPS to get me around. It’s a safer way to navigate than the paper maps I used to use — looking down at the map, up at the road, down at the map — all the while losing my place amongst the list of turns.
I watched Java walk past me for the tenth time as I listened to the rhythmic sound of paw, toenail drag; paw, toenail drag. Then silence. Java stands, nose to the wall, staring. I wait for her to whisper “open sesame” and for the wall to comply and let her through. But soon the paw,…
I was trying to get the kitchen painted this morning, but Java was not cooperating. Her whining was getting on my nerves so I finished taping around the woodwork in the kitchen and decided to take a walk break

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?
