Good afternoon. It's cold here too and the wind is howling and has been since yesterday morning.
It's been a helluva trip home. My farrier was supposed to show up Wednesday afternoon and finally made it yesterday morning. The transmission in my Jeep went out Thursday. Rain has knocked out most of the turkey hunting. Can't go turkey hunting tomorrow morning cause I gotta have my Jeep towed to a transmission shop.
Did get some work done on my barn yesterday. Hope to get some riding in today and tomorrow. Today is iffy. I don't know if I want to be out there in this wind. Spending so much time in south Florida is making me soft about cold weather.
Just wait till hurricane season. ;~D
I don't like to ride in wind and bad weather either. The wind makes the horses fruity. I always thought they get goofy in wind because the wind brought in scary smells from other places, but my dad who hunted deer thinks the opposite is true. He thinks that prey animals who depend on their senses to detect potential threats get spooked in the wind because their important sense of smell is removed and they know it. When it is windy and they can't trust their noses, they rely twice as much on their vision, making them look around twice as much for potential danger.
We should be in the 90's tomorrow or Tuesday. It's nice and sunny here.
