Chicken Coop and Horse Poop

Bobby started working on a chicken coop today for the new hens that Jenny got us. It'll be a nice little condo for the girls when he's through. While he was working on the coop, I was mucking stalls and spreading poop. The grass is coming up nicely in the back yard now, between the little bit of rain we've been getting along with the poop and grass seed we sowed about a month ago. I also cleaned and disinfected the horse trailer with Simple Green (after being shamed into it by my friend Cathy). Those little flower things (or whatever they are) are still falling from the oak trees and staining everything so I'm going to wait until they're done to clean the outside of the trailer. We came inside after lunch to clean up, take a nap and wait for the big storm to come through.




I went riding with Cathy yesterday....she took the day off for her birthday and we had a nice relaxed ride at Sal Taylor Creek Preserve. When we stopped at the creek, I was teasing Cathy about Busta and how she has to stay on his butt to keep him from rolling in the water..... and to my great surprise....Stylin dropped and proceeded to take her a cool water roll WITH me and the new saddle I was trying out. Luckily - we both liked the saddle, because she made it a final sale by getting it completely soaked! Of course she picked the deepest part, but I was able to step off in the thigh high water and didn't get completely wet. Needless to say - Cathy got a big chuckle out of that!

  1. Hey Sis! Love the title... coop & poop! You're so clever. :) I didn't know you were getting more hens. I hope they are nicer than those other little feathery things that chased us all over the yard.

    Of course she rolled in the new saddle! Looks good on her, though. Hope all is well.
