Moonlit Ride

Riding under a nearly full moon is pretty much amazing! Sara B and I went riding last night under a nearly full moon. It was so pretty and peaceful just riding bareback in the moon light. We road around the field for a bit and then took the wooded trail to the wonderful open field, which is right next to the river and makes it feel like you are out in the middle of no where. We rode and talked for quite awhile and about 10:30 fog started coming up from the river, which was kind of eerie and cool at the same time. The woods were kind of spooky to ride through but we had Buddy and Sport with us for body guards. Anyway it was a wonderful time and we are planning to do it again Tuesday. That is all. ~Semper Fi

Just an Update

This past week as been very busy because we were getting the yard ready for a Memorial Day cook out. The fun started Monday with the rental of a rototiller to till areas around the pool and out front to get them ready to put sod down. I tilled for about four hours on Monday and also spent time raking up the tilled up grass and rocks. Tuesday I did some more tilling and raking, plus digging around the edges to getting it low enough to match the other parts of the grass and concrete. It was very tiring and hard work. Wednesday I spent some more time finishing the raking, leveling and digging, by the end of the day my arms felt like jello and were pretty much gone.

Thursday we got the sod and spent six hours laying it all down. It wasn't very difficult but by the end of the day my lower back and right between my shoulders was very tired. That night though we, Sara B, Amy, Natasha and I went to Georgetown and had a really good time with lots of laughing and talking. We stayed there for about two hours before we finally got up and left. We also had a bunch of fun on the way to and from there, with lots of laughing, it was a great time.

Friday was a really relaxing day compared to the rest of the week. In the morning Sara B and I went riding for about two and a half hours. It was hot out and the horses were be a bit tooty, so we didn't do any galloping. We did go exploring more and finally found a way to the river!!!, wahoo. We are playing on going swimming this week but will see what happens. After riding I went for a swim to cool off. That evening Amy, Natasha, Erin and I went to the movies. Erin and I saw Shrek 3, which was about as good as the other two and Amy and Natasha saw Pirates 3 and they said it was good. Any way it was a really good day.

Riding Adventures of Sara B and Jacob

Sara B and I went riding in the woods today and found our way into a very large grass field in the middle of the woods. The field was picture perfect for galloping through, with tall grass and rolling hills. Sara B asked me if we could run through it and of course I said yes. We take off at full speed across the field and about three quarters through was somewhat of a muddy patch which cause Pedro to change strides and speed very quickly, which in turned caused me to be pitched forward nearly onto his neck and it took me a few moments to recover, after that it was all good. We road in the field for close to an hour, exploring and trying to find a way down to the Little Red River, but alas we failed to find a way down to the river this day. Now we have a great trail ride to take people on with some challenging parts, tree dodging and field galloping.

On Tuesday we had wonderful weather for evening riding, so we went. On our way back we got to see part of the sun setting in the clouds, beautiful. We also spotted something black and it appeared to be standing on its hind legs. We road towards it and it started moving away, but it wasn't on its hind legs, it was just its tail in the air and it had a white strip. Then Sara B exclaimed, "It's a skunk!" About that time the two dogs spotted it and started chasing it further into the field and then it turned and started coming towards us, ahhhhh! We were both not going to let that happen so we took off and put safe distance between us and the skunk before we turned around to watch where it went, luckily it went down the road and away from us and the house. The skunk left a wonderful choking, make your throat burn, smell behind and the dogs got it on them too. :( Away we got a good laugh. Ya never know what will happen when you go riding. Adventure for the win!!!!

Make up your own title. Just like choose your own adventure

7am I wake to wonderful weather just perfect for taking the trash to the road. I make the journey and return with the trash safely at the curb. Breakfast with Erin and Sara B was enjoyable with eggs, bacon and fruit making up the meal part. We ate in a rush, so we could get out to the horses asap. Now the adventure begins. Sara B and I went riding. On the way to the woods Buddy and Sport took off into the woods after something and then Buddy came running out and Sport sounding like he was getting killed, so I rode towards the noise to see what was going on and to scare it off. As I got closer I could see something, which seemed to be rather large, chasing Sport but could not tell what it was. Getting closer it stopped chasing Sport and looked right at me and dun, dun, dun it was a doe, ahhhhhh oh noes!!!! The End.
