Good morning gang. WAKE UP!!!!!
I've already had an eventful morning. I was driving the two little boys to their school (they have this thing at their school where they can go during the month of June and do fun activites and go on field trips and such). ANYWAY, they decided they wanted to go today, and I"m glad they did. Otherwise I would not have seen one of our horses STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!!!!
I pulled out of the drive, and right down the road at the end of a little hill, there she stood!

I drove my truck up to her slowly and corraled her around back to our house, but of course there were cars coming. One had two teenagers in it, but this is the country, and they are used to the occasional stray horse or cow

in the middle of the road, so they used their car to help me too! That was so nice.
I then hopped out of the truck and told my ds-8 to run and open the gate. Aha, therein lied the problem. Ds-12 did not close the gate last night when he fed them. who knows how long she'd been running around.
By the time I got her back in the pasture, another guy had pulled into our driveway to help. So I guess while I could have upset by the whole thing, it made me realize that I really do live in a nice community, and people think nothing of stopping on their way to work or school to help out a gal in need.
Marita: sorry about all the stress. hope today goes well for you
Moo: ditto to you too.
