Well it's raining again! We managed to get a walk in with the dog and turn Kacee out for about an hour and then it started. Weather.com has a huge green mass with some orange (thunder storms) over the Benson area and more to come. I'm so sick of it. They say maybe some downpours with 2-3 inches of rain today! Everything is waterlogged. Molly planted a little garden. Her lettuce is up and cucumbers are beginning to sprout.

I happened to look on equine.com the other day and saw that a girl in Poultney was leasing her horse for $150.00. I inquired and it turns out she knows us and used to ride at Herb's when Molly first rode Dinah and when I was there with Pat. She will be going away to grad school for 2 years and wants to find a good reliable home to care for her horse and so he won't just sit around! He's 7 years old, named "Easy" has been trained for competitive reining, does sliding stops, spins etc. Has done dressage, is great on the trail and is rated as a 1 for temperament (the most layed back). He sounds too good to be true and I know I said I wouldn't get another horse....!! We plan on going to look at him today after 4. Not sure about all the legalities of leasing an animal. I believe you can buy mortality insurance...because with my luck something bad will happen to him. I'll let you know how it all turns out. Oh and did I mention that John is supportive! ???Not sure why though.
I have to work 7a-7p tomorrow and then 10-10 on the 4th. Hopefully everyone will stay home! Only 4 more shifts until vacation at Sunset Lake! We are all looking forward to it.
