I did chores!!!!!!

Ok, doing chores for most people isn't something to get really excited about. For the last 7 weeks I have not been able to get out and do chores due to my knee. Today, I was able to grain the horse, open the feeder for the horses, let the chickens out and do it all without falling down!!!

Maverik, our mustang, thought he needed to have some grain too and was looking longingly at Moxie and Jazzy.

To no avail, he had to settle for some scratches from me.

I know he enjoyed the scratches but was a bit annoyed at not getting grain.

It was a good morning. I didn't win any speed records and in full disclosure I was not able to let the ducks out. Only because there are several inches of water in their enclosure and MacGyver was pretty sure I would end up in the pond. With my track record he was probably correct so child number 4 was willing to let the ducks out this morning since MacGyver had an early morning meeting at work. It felt so good to be outside and to be with my animals. The chicken coops need to be cleaned though. Phew!!! They are getting a bit aromatic. And not in a good way!
