Come on Spring, I need to ride!

Mother nature is playing tricks on us these days!
She can't seem to decide whether it's winter or spring.
I'll help her out, " IT'S SPRING OLD LADY!"
Not sure she was listening but it felt good to yell.
Spring around here mean a muddy, mucky mess for about 2 months.
I will be forever sweeping and mopping the floors everyday!
Just to keep them looking good.
I long for things to dry up so that I may take the horses out
for much needed exercise and riding.  I go down to the
barn to clean everyday, and "visit" with my four legged babies.
That's just not enough for me or them either.  They look at me with
their soft brown eyes as if to say "That's it?  You're only going to brush
me, love on me and smell my smells and leave!! Uh but Mom!! Mom don't
leave us.". They pull me back for one more touch to their soft muzzles and
a lick from Mr. Gemini.  I love their sweetness and their way of saying
I want more or I want less. They are so simple (sometimes).
If it weren't so wet and icky here I'd take them out for a walk around or something.
Thanks to Mother Nature we are back in the deep freeze again so now there
is ice again which makes it too slippery for them.  Can't catch a break can we.


Oh update on the puppies.  We put a deposit down on 2! Yes 2!  As of now they
have picked out the runt which is black and a chocolate.  We will go back in a
week or so to take another look at them.  If you look at the picture I posted of them
before.  They are the 2 all the way to the right side.  Chocolate is the one with it's
mouth open and the run is laying on her back.  Oh the joys of puppies.  I know
I won't be saying that when they've chewed everything we own and peed on the floor
for the 100th time.  I love animals and want my kids to grow up with them as a companion.
Am I nuts?  Ah maybe a little but it's ok.

Have good day!
