I thought it was a "want"

February 7th, 2006 at 03:02 am

My own horse. I was sure I wanted one, before I died.........even moved to a house with a barn & all the fencing in. But, I've come to the conclusion it is no longer on my want list!!
I leased the pasture out to a woman with 4 horses.......so I get to see them, hear them and go chat with them if I choose. But, the responsibility and the financial liability isn't mine this way! With our nasty weather this week, the horses have been spooked and have been tearing up their blankets, and other destructive little behaviors. I just made a phone call........and didn't have to deal with the details myself. I am pleased to find all this out about myself without having to spend the big bucks!! I'm more than satisfied to watch someone elses' horses!!!
This is a good lesson......before jumping into something all the way, try to find ways I can get involved to see if is a fit for me.

On another note..........the new fridge is here today. It is newer, energy efficient & all that. I had to move the food from the old fridge to the new one and found a couple things I hadn't used up in time. (slapping my own hand here) I will continue to work on this business of managing my fridge space & the leftovers situation.

I had 2 inquiries re; knitting classes today. I don't think either of them will sign up, as they are too far away from my home. Craigs list pulls from a large area, even tho I listed the county I was in.

Another no spending day here. All meals at home. No driving either. Worked in the garden, prepping for strawberry plants I'm being given sometime in the near future. I've been putting the word out to anyone that will listen, that I'm up for any plants, veggie or flowers. Hoping to fill out this yard without spending much.

    Very cool to find out about the horse without buying one!

    On the horses, if you ever decide you DO want your own a miniature or two are a LOT less work and a TON of fun, no you can't ride them but you can drive if you so choose. Minis are great therapy and only a portion of the cost in regards to destruction they do and feed Smile

    Good point on the mini's.........but I think I'm getting this horsey thing out of my system here. The chicken coop is going in this week, so I'll get baby chicks this spring........that might be the extent of the animals for me these days.
