Hiya Darlin',
Another day of getting up early, doing all the chores, and getting down to the Tidewater Trailhead just before 9:00. Helped with cleaning up the area, cleaned the restrooms, collected all the trash, helped drop down a tent, and generally did whatever needed doing. Once that was mostly wrapped up, I went out and closed up the gates I had opened, thinking the buckets had been collected (they weren't), dropped the trash off at Apex, met with my supervisor for a couple of minutes, stopped at Jo's to drop off some stuff she had forgotten plus a bale of peanut hay she had bought, then finally back to the house where I spent some time cleaning and vacuuming. Out at the barn, the mats were covered with sand from the rain, so I rigged up some hoses and washed it all down. Just as I was finishing that, I heard from the water bucket guy (Eric), learned he hadn't collected the buckets yet, so I had to drive back down to Tidewater and open one gate for him. The rest were okay for him, the buckets were close enough to the gate for him to get. Went back to Tidewater with my manure rake and spent a little time cleaning up a couple of sites that were left in bad shape, once again marvelling at how inconsiderate some people are when it comes to leaving a mess behind. Did they not notice that everyone else was cleaning up after themselves? Why do they think it doesn't apply to them? Did they not see the multitude of signs asking them to spread their manure into the woods? Jeesh! Hard to understand some folks! Took a roundabout route home so I could fill up with fuel at a station with reasonable prices, then finally got back to the house. Put the hoses back the way I found them, and by then it was time to feed the horses, so I did that job, and proceed with my evening, supping on the leftover equivalent of my Christmas dinner. I'm looking forward to a day when I don't have to get up at 7:00! But that won't be happening for awhile yet, I don't think. Continued my usual hot tub, shower, movie routine, and it looks like it will be another early evening! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
