Wednesday, December 11, 2024 – A Lazy Day, Except Horses Escaping!

Hi Babe,
Woke up to lots of rain, as predicted, and after doing my usual chores, and letting Apollo off the highline for the day, I had every intention of doing some housework, but ended up not in the mood. Other than a load of laundry, I pretty much had a relaxing day, mostly reading or on the computer. I'm having dinner a lot earlier now, and I had just finished when someone came up and called me out, asking if I had lost a couple of horses. Sure enough, somehow Apollo had once again broken through the fence, and with Flash in tow, apparently ended up along the road! This lady was kind enough to drive me up the road about a quarter mile, where there was a whole crowd of people, so evidently they'd been wandering for a while. There was several cars, including a law enforcement car with lights flashing, and a woman with a horse trailer who had already loaded up my boys into it. I got there in the nick of time before I guess she was going to take them home until the owner was found. She kindly drove me back to camp and we unloaded them. Of course, now being close to dinnertime, they were cooperative while I fed them and fixed the fence, once again hitching Apollo to the highline, where he is going to stay until I get the fence working again. I love this neighborhood! So many people came out to help! They even had listed it on the local FB group, and I was able to thank everyone there. So grateful for understanding, equestrian neighbors! Well, by then it was growing dark, so had my hot tub (where my chemical balance is now near perfect!) and my shower and settled down for the rest of the evening, though I got a call from Yvette, she wants to use my tractor for a job tomorrow, so I'm going to have to bundle up (it's supposed to get down to nearly freezing in the morning) and drive my tractor down to her place early. Heading to bed soon! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
