Hey Darlin'!
Had a pretty good night sleep, though I woke up pretty early and read for awhile. Meg's having problems with her farm truck and though I put her batteries on charge, it made no difference this morning. I finally put my battery jumper on the cables and at least it turned on the lights in the cab and on the dashboard, so it's pretty definitive that the first step is new batteries. Chatted with John and Helen until they left, then moved my trailer over next to Meg's, so now I can reach the 50 amp plug and the sewer trap! I filled up my water tank from the nearby wash rack, it's really not necessary for me to have a water hookup, and it's very close. Once I was settled in I started a couple of loads of laundry, and decided to take the afternoon off, watched a couple of movies and generally just relaxed today. Well, at least I did until I had a pounding on my door, from a neighbor, telling me some of the horses were loose. I jumped into the UTV and headed over to the trouble spot, where neighbor Jack had been trying to round them up, but they got away. I headed out to the back field where Jack said they were, but they weren't there either. Then I spotted them, back in their own paddock! Turns out Meg has some paddocks in the back, and apparently the horses escaped from there, but we just closed the back gate so they are secure until we have time to check out the electric fence back there. Later on, I saw the littlest colt on the driveway, he's mastered the art of climbing through the vinyl strip fencing, but I managed to get him back to his mama as well. Busy day chasing horses! The rest of the day was quiet, though. Going to start on the bathroom floor tomorrow, and hopefully get my shopping done as well. A nice relaxing, come-down day after all the busy-ness of last week. Ready for my shower and clean sheets! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
