Labor Day

Willa and I (Dree) have been trying to get the fences moved for at least a week. Today we had 3 great men available to help So we got the fences moved posthaste.

Afterward, while we were trying to put the horses into their new homes, I thought I'd be smart and just hang the chain over the gate making it look like it was closed...

So after we caught the escapees from two pastures (because the second group broke out and went after the first group), we got everybody switched around where they finally belong.

Needless to say, I won't try that trick again!

Apparently it was my day for escaping horses, because as Willa was bringing a bale of hay to one of the pastures, Galen decided to slip through while I had the gate open. He was easy to catch, because all of his pasture mates (Sabrina, William, and Hudson) went after the hay instead of following him.

I think it's the wind getting to them. We've had two solid days of wind. I honestly don't know how they do it on the plains. I mean, I guess you get used to it, but it sure does get wearing after a while. Maybe that's why I don't live in the Dakotas. No wait! I don't live in the Dakotas because it gets colder than...well really really cold there.

Anyway, I have just received a call that dinner's ready--that means the guys are back from hunting the wiley skeet.
