Rain-what a concept

.

You guessed it RAIN. Two weeks and counting. At first it was really nice, sit in the house look at the clouds rolling by, no dust, temperature down, not used to this. Reading, talking on the phone, start a rainy day crock pot. Make up some drop biscuits, more coffee, sit in my chair. You don't think it will freeze on the pass, 35 degrees for a low. Hope not my dually is not good on slick roads.

.Man I'm tired of this, my backside is getting sore from sitting here. I need to get up and do something before I turn into a vegetable. The rain seems to have let up, the ground is wet but not sloppy, sure glad we finished burning weeds and groomed the ground just before it started raining last week, the water will form a crust that helps keep the dust to a minimum when it dries out.

.Hey Easter want to get your feet trimmed? I know you and Toby are having a lot of fun getting to know each other. (I was doing all the corrals at the same time as the weeds, so I put Toby in the arena with Easter). I was going to put him in the small pen on the north end until he reared up on me a couple times. Feeling pretty frisky he was. I think Toby needs some of that worn off of him Easter. Here you boys get to know each other for a few days. ( I don't write well enough to describe how this went)!


.Now where was I? Easter, want to get your feet trimmed? Mikey's sore backside caused him to make a questionable decision, not having heard from the shoer in some time. Easter's feet were getting too long, well if I have to do it, then so be it. Toby! Get back! Just because I have Easter in a halter doesn't mean you can do that, now get back. It's OK Easter I'll take you over to the tree by Jackie Jo, she's lonely for company anyway, since KD moved next door. I was going to trim you in the arena, but that Toby is just too frisky still.

.OK Easter pick that foot up so I can clean the mud out, come on Easter hold it up too. Your feet sure are moist, this should be a breeze. (Is that the sound of thunder or my heart pumping?) Sit down for a second. OK Easter pick that foot up so I can trim, Easter hold it up!! This should be a breeze since Wood Cutter Brian sharpened the nippers. (Is that an earthquake or my heart pumping?) Sit down for a second. Where is the rasp? OK Easter pick that foot up, come on Easter Hold It UP!!!! (I think it's my heart) yep. There you go boy both front feet trimmed just like a pro. Sorry the two in the back will have to wait till next Monday, come on to the arena before this rain gets heavier,Toby is lonesome.


.Look at that rain, you know I love to sit here watching the clouds roll by, munching on stew and drop biscuits, drinking coffee, maybe MOM will call. On second thought a cold one sounds even better-------------------------Mikey.
