If anyone asks you for help in stripping a horse stall?

Run like the wind. Don't look back, head for higher ground. No matter how beautiful the horse it is never fun to strip a stall. I ended up stripping three tonight. Sure, I'm a glutton. I cannot stand to sweat. It's not a good look for me. My hair gets all fuzzy and we won't even talk about the flies, the spiders and the fact that there is something very very wrong with Salem's bowels. Truly. Something had to have crawled up into his system and died. Like a few years ago. Ugh.

Egads...American Idol, Writing, and the immediate need for sleep

Quite a bit of a title eh? Well, I'm all for those crazy blog titles. Makes it more interesting than saying I live the most boring life known to man.

I've included a picture of Thunder. The newest addition to our crazy 'animal farm' that we seem to have going on. What possessed me I don't know. Oh, wait. It didn't possess me it possessed those other two people that I live with, my daughter and my husband. The only thing I can't figure out is why I'm the one shoveling horse poop.

Do you know how much horses poop? Like on a daily basis?

Holy smokes, batman. I could literally compost about ten gardens with this horses poop. Maybe I could sell it as fertilizer? Nah, I bet they have to do something to it to make it fertilizer. Hmmm...I bet my Uncle would know as he is the farmer in the family.

Today I reached a major milestone. I actually stood behind the horse and brushed its tail. (He knew I was back there of course) But see, I don't get normal animals. It just doesn't happen to me. You know where this is headed right? Well, I walked into the barn with my daughter this afternoon and what is MY horse doing? Ha. I only wished I'd had a camera because he was using his feed bucket to scratch his rear end. And a might big rear end it is if I may say so. I, of course, realize that no one will believe me, but next time I go to the barn I'm gonna take the camera to see if I can catch his happy tail in the act. (Happy tail, get it?) Okay, maybe I'm just slap happy. LOL.

I'm off to go write my pages!
Hugs to all!
