A Horse of Course

The dry wall finishers were out on a Saturday. Apparently the 100 gallons of joint compound was not quite enough, so they had to go for a "mud run" in order to finish up today. It was pretty cool to see the guys zooming around on their stilts.



On top of the 2 wandering herds of cattle into our yard incidents in the past 2 weeks, there were eight horses there this morning.


J was thrilled at first (she's on a horse/pony kick at the moment), but once she discovered that they trampled through our pig garden, she became furious.


We got our mailbox put in.


JP got to drive his tractor. That's our creek, Wisecarver Run, in the background


We bought some more light fixtures and a kitchen sink.

Oh, and in the paper yesterday was an article about how there are plans to repair Wisecarver Dam, restore the 18-acre Wisecarver reservoir, and turn 360-acres into a public recreation area. Wisecarver Run empties into the reservoir. It will be nice to have this close by.

So sorry about your lovely pig garden! Perhaps the seeds survived. . .I hope so. Those piggies need to be more vigiliant and fierce next time.

I can't BELIEVE the incredible progress on your house! You must be beside yourselves with excitement!
