Last week was crammed full of fun and business. Kellie and I had a marvelous time at Pickin' on the Prairie. As Kellie said everything I wanted to say in her post (and as I didn't take any pictures), you can read her post here.
David Tennant sings. The end.
Also, I really, really, really want to see Catherine and David in Much Ado About Nothing. They're so great together.
I went for a lovely little ride on my Bobby boy this morning. Just hopped on him bareback and took off, with the Bonnie dog trailing along behind. About 30 minutes later, I remembered why I don't usually ride him bareback without a bareback pad - he's got the most uncomfortable, bony back ever. I think I'll be walking funny for a few days...but it was so worth it.
Dewey, my bro's horse, has been getting the royal treatment here lately. He shed the frog (sole) of his hoof, and being the big, flat footed, tender foot that he is, he got sore feet. (shedding the frog is normal, btw) Tom, our farrier, recommended soaking his hooves twice a day for a while to prevent abscesses. So, every morning and evening Dewey's had his front feet soaked. 15 min. per foot in warm water and epsom salts. He's feeling very special and is definitely on the mend.

As much as I hate to admit it, it's definitely starting to feel and smell like Autumn here. There's an unmistakable crispness in the morning and evening air. *cringe* Noooooo!!! I love Autumn, it's my favorite season, but I'm not ready for summer to be over yet! However, I am looking forward to pulling out my sweaters, scarves and hats again. There's always a bright side:)
My brother was at the fair today selling and signing his books and playing with his Bluegrass band. He and Christopher (one of my "extra" brothers) came home with pizza and donuts. We ate them while watching Megamind. The perfect way to wrap up our day.
Speaking of the fair, I'm looking forward to going this year. I'd love to catch the rodeo, especially since I haven't gone for the past few years. The jokes some of the clowns were telling were rather crude and vulgar last time I went, and I haven't been brave enough to go since. But, I'm feeling brave this year. I love a good rodeo:)
