A few weeks ago we made reservations for a horse camping site…not knowing this weekend was going to be over 100 degrees! The campground didn’t have electricity so we decided to stay just one day. The campground is definitely horse friendly with lots of trails all accessible right from the camp sites! We went for one ride but didn’t want to push Brad’s ankle too much. We’ll definitely make reservations for a future trip!
Our pagers toned out at 4am this morning for a working fire! A car fire quickly turned into a structure fire when the home owner’s auto shop became engulfed. Brad and I responded on E123 from Elwood. On scene, Brad was preparing the engine to pump water and I was ready on the nozzle, when he tripped over a rock! He sucked it up and continued pumping throughout the rest of the morning but once we were done with the fire, we grabbed some breakfast and headed to the emergency room. Great news! He didn’t break it; just a bad sprain requiring an air splint for the next 2-4 weeks. Very exciting for our first ‘line of duty’ injury!
We took Tucker on his first horseback ride today and he did great! We did about 2 1/2 – 3 miles from our house over to Lance & Rhonda’s place then back. We kept him on leash while on the road and then let him off once we were back in the woods on the trail. He did a great job of staying close to the horses but keeping out from under hoof. He’s going to make a great trail dog!
Who says you need a cherry picker to pick cherries? Not needed if you have a Bob! Well, and Brandi to help.
Tucker did his part too…by eating the ones that dropped.
Although it seems to be a never ending battle with weeds, we’re finally starting to harvest some veggies!
And here are Brad’s giant pumpkins…they may not look like much now, but Brad has hopes of submitting an entry to the World Famous Canby Pumpkin Drop in October!
(picture coming soon!)
