A Day In The Valley

Its a wonderful day in the valley. It was just splendid... Today when we got up we had eggs on toast.. I looked out the window and it was gloomy, the cabin needed to be cleaned so we tidied up.

Yesterday our neighbor came up with the last of our runaway goats, it was the beast with the horns, Gazelle. Our neighbour tied them to the corral rail with a bowline knot. Mom said she didn't know how to tie a bowline and was embarrassed that she didn't know.

We found a website called "how to tie a bowline knot". It is quite simple. Last night we all got some rope and practiced and practiced it took a few hours but finally we were all tying bowlines. The bowline is called the king of knots.

We timed ourselves. And guess what, I just learned it and I was so fast at it Mom said that I finally beat my old recorded!!! First it was like 10 seconds and then 6 seconds and then 5 and now 4 seconds!!!!That's pretty good because I just learned it last night.



We had some lunch. It was time to tame the goats. We were checking, feeding, and tying them up because the Gazelle and the buck were tangled up together and stuck. We did that for sometime and then we went to the horses. This is where the bowline was put into affect. I tied up Delevaga and Chico and gave them a good brushing, they liked that.

Tyrell picked out their feet and then mom led us around in the field and down to the willow grove. I am wondering if I can set up a jumping place. I would like to have my horse learn to jump. Mom said we can set up a course for the horses. But we don't know who will like to jump.



We rode them and then I walked Reggie. I made a nice fire and we are making some hamburger soup.



Well talk to you later.

Horseback Riding

Today I went horseback riding with my younger brother Tyrell. We have to lead each other around because we have to introduce ourselves to the horse so that they know us. Mom just bought me a lead rope, a horse halter, a horse picker and a horse gloves. Today it was my very first time picking at a horses foot. It was fun picking at them but it was hard to her feet up because they are so heavy. She kicked me in the shins like 2 or 3 times the last time she did it she knocked me over and landed in cow poop.

Moniet ( the horses name) was running and it felt like I was riding or floating with the wind. I put Reggie in his kennel while I was riding and he did not like it. I was thinking of him putting him in a saddle bag when I go riding. When I came back Dad was putting up a satellite so that we can have Internet. Tyrell and I played monopoly for a very long time and then we decided to go horseback riding again.

Moniet was being weird so we rode her for a little bit and then we went back inside. We bought lots of cheese and plus Megan got some cheese from Jesse's place so we got like 3 blocks of cheese. I grated some up and then Mom took over. Mom made some chip dip and so we had that and it was so good. I am just about going to watch Julie and Julia so tata...
