Logging 2013 Miles - How far did you go?

Well, I couldn't stand the suspense any longer...I was hoping they were some weird unique downunder critter...or a munckins...I googled and found..


Midges are gnats

I would rather see a swarm of munchkins.

Me too! Even if they do tickle horse bellies!

I just want to add that I am SO DEPRESSED. It is 72 degrees and sunny outside and I am stuck in this stupid office. Dang. I should have taken sick leave. Depression is a sickness, right?

Yea, me too. I have to work tonight, and last night was very hard...not looking forward to doing it again tonight. I had to sleep today, when it is on the 70's and beautiful. Dangit.

Tomorrow I am off and yea, supposed to rain. Jeez. Why can't we only work when the weather is bad?

I'm off to clean stalls and feed. Too tired to clean this morning!

I work at nights too, and with physical therapy, pulling extra shifts, and caring for 2 barns I'm drained so I didn't get to ride today. I've got most of tomorrow off though so I'm catching up on my sleep it's going to be too muddy and slick to ride anyways so I'm not really wasting my day. That ridiculously rich cowboy willing to pay all my expenses and support my lifestyle really needs to hurry up and get here so I can spend my day in the saddle rather than at work.

Yeah, well when he shows up I will fight you for him!

We had overcast blustery wind today...not cold just blowing like crazy. Ugh.....

And as far as gnats...I hate them....they get in my eyes and I always end up swallowing one. GAG-A-RUPPA....

Those bugs were terrible just trotting along then BAM all in your eyes, mouth, nose, crawling all over you. I suppose I'll update my total too.

Total
Sammy: 45.01 miles
Apache: 1.86 miles
Me: 52.87 miles

If life were fair, gnats would not be in our faces. Rich cowboys would be.

Okay, so it's been so frustrating here. We had about a foot of snow on the ground and well below freezing. Yesterday it was 56f out of nowhere! Flooding everywhere, it was so nice but couldn't even ride. Went out to do chores and slipped on ice by the barn door, landed in a huge puddle. DH thought it was hilarious, so did the horses I guess whinnying and all. I was fine, but grain went flying and so did a boot somehow. It was foggy until about 3pm as well, really itching to ride, but I am not going to risk anymore injuries. Now after all the flooding our pastures look like swimming pools and temps dropped this morning and they're calling for 5-10 inches of snow. This is going to be a mess...and I'm NOT looking forward to it.

Can you all spot Walker in his stall? Lol he stood there for two hours after morning feeding just staring hoping I would cave and bring him more food.
