Things are kinda slow around Poverty Flats this week. We have been so busy with the BBQ business since last Spring that we have about forgotten how to slow down. It's not like there is nothing to do here, It's just that doing absolutely nothing feels good for a change.
Well, to be completely honest, we havn't been totally idle. Construction has began on our new front deck. I promised Granny that I would start it as soon as we had a week off from selling BBQ so the work started this week. It will probably take a week or two working by myself to complete. It is going to make a big change in the front of our home. Wish we could post some before and after photos, but Granny or I neither one know how to post them.
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENT THIS WEEK !!! We have a couple of younger horses that came from a rescue situation last year. That would be Star, and Blaze . They had not been worked with much when we bought them, and they had originally come from open range in N. Dakota near the Canadian border. On top of all that, with the abuse they had been through, they did not trust anyone. Well, I have been trying patiently for over a year to get a halter on Star. I could have just roped her and forced it on her, but would have destroyed the trust we have been working to build. Then, yesturday, I tried once more to slip it on and all of a sudden I'm standing there looking at her with a pretty pink halter on her head. WOW !! I thought it was just luck so today I went out and took it off her. Then she stood there and let me put it back on. Like I said, major accomplishment.
OK , Granny is looking over my shoulder saying, "Haven't you gotten that thing updated yet ?"
I think that is my que to go eat some ice cream so I'm out of here.
