Crochet Me Crazy

What a great day today was....(the weather was simply gorgeous! We've had a couple of those beautiful days this week) I tried to sleep in a little bit since Sunday is our day off but that proved to be futile. So I got up and tended to the chickens anyway. I mucked stalls anyway. Jeff had his day off today. We went to church this morning. Jeff had a few chores to do around here today since he's been gone so much this week. He had to empty the poop spreader, haul hay to the feed room, patch a hole in the 4-wheeler tire. He also spent hours working on Algebra with Alison, helping her with the lessons she had problems with this past week.

Alison had a really nice riding session with Mrs. Grain today. She taught Alison a lot of stuff she can practice on Magic this week. She has a whole lot of riding expertise to share with Alison. She's learning how to really ride a horse with her body and not the reigns. She will eventually be able to get on Magic and ride him bridleless. Mrs. Grain was very impressed with Alison. She said she is a natural. She was doing stuff in minutes that takes a lot of practice to do. It's hard to believe that two years ago, we knew nothing about horses and now they are such a big part of our lives. I told Alison she is completely blessed to be here right now. People pay a lot of money to have people teach them what Alison is getting to learn here.

Only one day off....it's back to work for another 6 days for Jeff. He got home so late last night that I was already asleep. He worked about 55 hours this week and that does not include the driving which has often been an average of an additional 3-4 hours a day. We are thankful for the job for sure but we will be very glad when this training is over.

Well, here's a great blog I found with a lot of cute free patterns on it. You might want to check it out if you haven't visited this blog already! Crochet Creative Creations

Well, here's a picture of the hat I finished a couple of days ago....


That's about all I'm managed to output this week. It's been so busy!

I haven't forgotten that I still need to get a picture of my Prairie Star Afghan!...Time hasn't been on my side!

Have a great week!
