Congratulations to Paddy Zealand on the birth of a daughter. Here's something for Wilson - A couple of weeks ago some mention was made of his horse and a kicking episode. Seems like these critters have a grapevine of sorts - one of our two horses decided to take a walk through the veggie garden sampling the corn as he went, which included the ornamental stuff I was growing growing to hopefully display at Thanksgiving. Anyway, at about 5:00 a.m. his roommate decided to blow the whistle on him and whinnied at a pitch that could only be called a scream. After convincing my husband he really should get up and put the horse back to bed, I offered my services to help, like run and get a rope - hold the gate open wider - he doesn't like going through a narrow opening - giving advice advice on how to quickly repair the fence and even wincing with pain when he stepped on my husband's foot - I swear that horse has a hoof the size of a dinner plate. Anyway to make a long story short, we got that old plug back in, not without colorful dialogue, plus a broken toe for the better half, and a promise to myself that next time there's a commotion commotion in the corral I'll just turn over and go back to sleep.
