Take the saddle off. I never used one riding fence, just bags for the tools . No ridge on the bare back. I took a couple old saddle belts and made stirrups to make the ride better. It worked good, just dont put the foot in there to get up on the horse <G> I found that out ( Plop) right on the ground, so you gotta get up like bare back.

Alli- My grandfather used a spray that he mixed himself to keep fruit trees from blooming too early. Sure wish I had paid attention to what was in the mixture. I'm sure it was all natural as he was Cherokee. WES-Norma

Oh Shadow Bear, you have me laughing very hard. I was raised on a ranch and rode horses often but I can't imagine straddelng one now for a long period of time. But I'll bet Spirit Wolf could :) I already have me seeds bought and my garden tilled. My peach trees think it is spring already and have blooms all over them. Next frost will kill them back. :( I had to do a little work on my reel. It wouldn't cast out. Had to clean it and put new line on it.I'd rather use my cane pole any way. WES-Norma

Shadow Bear, I can talk the ears off of a coffee cup. BUT I'll listen if you want to talk first. :)

Shadow Bear-- You have a very loving spirit. You are a blessing sent from Creator. WES Norma

When I was just wondering around the country==I stopped at these peoples home a few times==I keep looking at the calendar and makes me want to order seeds==My calendar say the end of the month order seeds==so there went a great thought==I got my fishing poles out looked them over polished them again than put them away again==I had a job last week==the fence rider here hurt himself so I volunteered to help him out every other day I done his job==Today I still can't walk very good== he does it every day == unbelievable==even this pillow is't soft enough==I looked at that saddle I looked for the ridge in it== wasn't there== SHADOW BEAR

I love riding horses & working cattle. Haven't done that since I was single & in my late teens & very early 20's. I haven't really been riding for 12-13 yrs. Now I'm out in some beautiful country & don't have a horse old enough to ride :( Need to get some seeds for my garden too. Can't till up my garden until the ground dries up a bit. Go out there now & I'd sink a foot or more LOL Thankfully our Apricot tree isn't in a hurry to sprout (our stupid weather can't decide if its winter or fall) I've actually got to check into spraying it before it gets leaves & blooms. Got tiny biting bugs that end up on it & hopefully I can keep them from coming around this year.

It rained some last night, and damp today with rain and snow in the forecast. It feels like bitter cold outside right now, very damp...too the bones.

Good morning everyone! Sleepy times were disturbed shortly after 1 a.m. with a loud clap of thunder and lightning and the noise didn't last long and back to sleepy land figuring the rain clouds had passed us by another time; however, we awoke to light rain falling - all soaked in as there wasn't enough to create run off! We have had about 9 or 10 hours of slow raining - it wont be enough to put water into the lakes. It might put a little winter rye and other grasses into the pasturelands, but I heard a "truck farmer" speaking this morning that this is too little too late that will be noticed in the local farmers markets as well. The sky sounds like a boom box right now. Bettye

Dan, I am here but I work a 12hr. shift nights and sleep during the day. The only time I can post is on my days off and sometimes I have to work on those days.

Hard telling........
