Meanwhile, back at the old farm —
Pete got into mischief from time to time.
Had a goofy way about him.
He was a lazy grazer.
Handsome fella.
He learned about a saddle.
Rode often with Mom.
And Pete gave our friend Maggie a very good ride one great day.
When we moved to this new farm Maddie arrived first. Pete boarded with
friends and under Laurie's tutelage, taught a young man how to ride.
At summer's end Laurie brought her guy home. He and Maddie were
glad to see each other.
A neighbor girl befriended him. Per her request Pete gave her a nice ride.
No doubt, they'll pick back up come warm weather.
Around The Farm—
Pepper came to stay a few overnights. As usual she was a big help. (NOT!)
Building a wall, Laurie used her bailing-twine method in lieu of two more hands.
It's a tried and true, time-tested process.
My wife is good at screwing around.
Invaluable piece of equipment.
As is her battery-powered Dewalt.
But what about Pepper? She was well-behaved.
Sniffing the recycle bin. (It did not topple over.)
Shadow tolerates her.
Pepper's come to like it here.
And even has her own bed away from home.
Thanks for dropping in. See ya next week.

Did you get the new barn finished yet? Tell Laurie that bungee cords also work well for holding boards. I've put up board fencing by myself that way.
