Life's Simplicities

I'm sitting at the kitchen table watching two fat goldfishes float in their tank and pondering the simple things in life like being able to float along in a fish tank with no worries at all. How would it be to be a fish? or a dog? or even a happy cow from California? It would be good but I prefer to be human I think. There are so many wonderful pleasures in life that would be missed out on if we were animals. Love, shopping, hangin' with friends, listening to music, watching the stars...these are the simple pleasures I'm talking about. There are so many blessings in this world it just blows my mind to try and think of them all.

Well, Tuesday was quite the eventful day. In the afternoon Lori and I rode our horses around the property for a while, it was such a nice day to enjoy! After riding we decided to ride two more horses so we went to get them. We pulled Hiccup out of her stall and realized she was limping because she had a nail in her back foot! Lori got some pliars and pulled it out so she will be okay. As soon as we got the nail out Mike came walking from the barn with Scooter the old horse who had cut his leg pretty bad. It was gross. The cut went all the way to his bone and I was like "HOLY FLAGNOD that's his BONE" and there was also a tendon that had been cut and was sticking out. We got him loaded up and took him to the vet where he got all stitched up. The vet had to cut the tendon out so he'll have a hard time walking for a while but he should be okay as long as he doesn't get an infection. It was one heck of a crazy afternoon!

Tip of the day: When sitting on the heater, put a blanket over you to trap in the heat
