Tis the season

Christmas Party Quiet Time

‘Tis the season!!!!!!! Christmas parties for the humans have begun to happen so it is very quiet this morning. Not a creature is stirring except one of the water co-op trucks that went by earlier and my favorite little boy from across the road. He is up at his Granny’s house so he must have spent the night up there. That boy is so full of fun and happiness. Before he got old enough to go to school he went out on his front porch every morning and sang the day in at the top of his lungs. Now his little sister does that but with a twist. She goes out on the front porch and just screams the day in. Sure will be nice when she learns the words to a song, any song will do just so she knows the words. She is only two years old so if she feels the need to go out on the porch and scream the day in then I guess that we should be happy she isn’t holding it in. Her brother likes to pet me and my horse when he comes home from school so we try to be up there in the corner of the pasture near where his mailbox is. He likes for my horse to give him rides too. He knows you get on , grab you a handful of hair, get settled then you get to say ‘Giddyup boy!’. My horse is very good at giving children rides. He is very patient with them and will not move until they are good and settled on his back , no wiggling.

Later the same day..........

My horse is no fun. I am in a great mood today with the cool brisk weather and he won’t play with me! He did a little bit earlier but now he won’t. No matter how much I run at him or jump up and down nothing. I rare up on my back legs and wave at him to play and he ignores me. I tried kicking at him but he knows I would not hit him on purpose so he just stands there not caring just turning his head as needed to keep from getting kapowed.. I think he played too much this morning and now his foot is sore I should be easier on him till he all better. Maybe we should try walking more before we start running and jumping.
