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’ve been a bit stressed out lately. My son lost his job. I worry that my husband or I might be next. My house is torn apart from doing some work on the floors and painting the walls. I never have enough time to even remotely catch up on the things I need/want to do….
“Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett One can strive to make changes in their life at any time of year, but a new year seems to bring with it the promise of another chance to do this year better. My head has been pinging around like a pinball game. Remember those? So…
Another weekend bites the dust. Shoot! Do any of you make “To Do” lists? Well, I do and I managed to knock a few things off this weekend, but still fit in some doing nothing time. The weather on both Saturday and Sunday was gorgeous, although at this point of extreme dryness and dead pasture…
Hasn’t this been an interesting year so far weather-wise? Will Spring ever arrive and stay? What about summer? As we wait, might as well notice what’s been interesting about it. Tree Moods Trees move me Even when downed Mystery wrapped in texture Individuals Changing with seasons The rush and robbing of light The dogs and…

In fact, growth may not be possible without periods of chaos. ~ Mark Thurston Yesterday, Tuesday, was a heck of a day. But never mind. Deep breath and…

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?
