Starting with Dancer.

Well I thought I would tell you a little more of the yarding thing with the horses up in the woods.
As you know I took Mazie up there and it was her first time to yard or do any work as far as that is concerned and she did so well.
So Friday the man wanted more logs yarded so I thought I had better take Dancer this time as he needs some education.
Ibrought him out of the barn and he went right on the trailer just as good as an old horse and so I thought he will do so good.
We went up there and it was just pouring rain and I brought him off the trailer and he was like he was posessed with a demon or something.
I tied him to the trailer and he tried to stove the side of the trailer in.
When I went to put the harness on he flew to bucking and kicking so I told him that he could have this the hard way or the easy way it was up to him so I think made him change his mind ha ha.
Well when I put his bridle on I realized I had forgotten the reins so had to came back and get them.
I was thinking about his actions and thought I had better deal with it so I got some rope from the barn and when I got back I put ropes on him just in case I needed but when I drove him away from the trailer he was good as gold and in the pouring rain we yarded logs all afternoon and he did a super job and I don't have any pics to put on as it was raining too hard to take any.

The bike ride

Hi there friendly Bloggers and other such stuff well I looked on my brother Bob's blog and he took me for a ride on the handle bars of his bicycle and I almost got motion sick following the street and watching as the camera slowly slid down until it was watching the front tire of the bike.
It was fun riding along with him and seeing the scenery etc as we rock and rolled our way along and the ride through the tunnel was fun and did you see the ride through the Swiss tunnel from the front seat of their car fun huh.
So now I must get to my story and sad though it may be I will tell you the news.
I am sure that I had toll you about Ruby and her fillie well anyway I had lent Pete a big grey horse to this man that had bought Rose and Ruby from me.
Pete was there as a spare horse while I had Ruby here until we weaned the fillie off her.
So this fellow calls me up Tuesday morning and tells me that Pete was dead now that is never good news no matter what.
He was going to buy Pete from me or maybe he was or maybe he wasn't we will never know now right.
Anyway he says to me on the phone your horse died last night well that sort of jargon is never good either.
You see that is inferring that it is my loss and not his right.
Well I went to the barn and that is where I does do my bestest thinking you know the old saying up here for thinkin and down there for dancin.
Soes I comes back into the house and says to my faithful wife we're going to Halifax and she was very happy to oblige as we both don't need much of an excuse to go somewhere seems we do that quite a bit nowadays.
So off we go and see's this guy well he is a gentleman and between us two he aggreed to pay for half of the price what I had said Pete was and Mary and I went into some furniture stores and looked at couches and chairs as we are wanting to buy leather now.
So we had a good day even with the demise of my good old friend Pete but I told Mary that old Pete didn't owe me anything he was always so willing to go to work and he worked the day that he died which is how I would prefer it for myself if I had anything so say about it .
