SMILES**<br />Val is the best and your work + his willingness = pure joy!<br /><br />We are deep into winter still...ALL LION NO LAMB...had the 3rd snow of march last week... remnants are still piled against our stable and some roads still. BLAWS have set in...and, after your mention of "fallout" I got a phone call from someone who reads my blog( who thinks it's all about them) and they reamed me a good one. Off to write on my -PRIVATE- "Boarding Expose'" " blog now!!<br /><br />If I could dig in the dirt ( all mud right now) I would join you in the gardening.The weeds could help my sanity out by allowing me to hack on them!<br /><br />Carry on!!

Too funny. <br /><br />And I know exactly what you mean about having to make that decision between riding or chores...some days it is an extremely hard one to make. Because I know the peas/beans/melons whatever NEED to be planted NOW, but Gabe needs ridden too and I'd really RATHER ride, but plants aren't as patient as ponies! I'm so ready for planting to be done so I can spend more time riding.Jennhttp://www.greenslobber.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005422562901601859.post-33384159206682159342012-03-29T14:56:34.266-04:002012-03-29T14:56:34.266-04:00"We are moving along slowly, but we are movin..."We are moving along slowly, but we are moving along."
