DD#3 just stood at the open pasture gate, dreaming her head off over some 12 year old boy and let all but 1 of the horses out, and 2 cows.... We kept yelling at her to close it-right over her head.
It went crazy for awhile. The one horse that didn't get out wanted out. I thought it was going to go over the fence. I finally got one horse in, then the cow and her calf followed her. Then it took about 20 more minutes to get the other 3 horses in. The entire time, they kept running back and forth, thru my garden. Several rows got trampled. They also kept racing by the poultry pen, so the ducks were quacking and flapping their wings, which seemed to encourage the horses to run faster.
The garden is too muddy (is rained all week) to try and do any repair work now. If this was old mcdonalds farm, he would have quit and went to city life.
I didn't reset the traps for the coons tonight-raining too hard.
DD #4 missed her 4H riding lessons because of the stock being out, and then after we got them in we discovered basically the trailer is stuck in the mud anyway. Will probably have to pull it out of its parking spot with the tractor.
No bills in the mail yesterday or today. No money spent today or yesterday.
I did sell $5 worth of books tonight on Craigslist, and 2 books off half.com-but they were only listed at 75 cents each.
What a day

Hope you have a better day, Saturday, and that your garden didn't suffer too much damage. Send that rain to Colorado!
