Crochet Me Crazy

Well, it seems another week is flying by! Here it is already Wednesday. It's been visitor's week at Alison's ballet class this week so I've been sitting inside classes and watching. Alison has really blossomed in her dancing here. I'm so proud of her and how hard she works at everything she does.

I actually had some time to crochet this week! I'm trying to get myself into a routine around here now which will include some crochet time! I even had time to get back to a little bit of work on my throw again but no pictures of that so far.
Well, my "surprise" project is almost finished but I think it's really dorky looking so I don't know that it is worthy to be a gift. I still have to do some detail cross stitching work on it. It might make it look better but I'm not too happy with it.



Well, last night a little after 9:00 pm, I was about to get ready to go to bed when I went down to see if Jeff had let the horses out. They got fed a little later than usual because they didn't come down to eat. Michael had let them in their stalls. As we were about to let one horse, Magic, out, I notice he had quite a big cut on his leg. As soon as I saw him take a step and then i noticed how swollen his leg was, I knew we couldn't let him out. I ran up to the owner's house to tell her. She came down and looked at him. It's was pretty bad and he was in quite a bit of pain. So she gave him some bute and said she's going to clean it tomorrow and re-evaluate. She was very thankful and happy that we had noticed it and payed that much attention. Of course, I'm used to noticing things like this with our other horse friends at the stables. Horses seem to always be getting into trouble and hurting themselves!

Alison also got to go see her horse, Princess, today. She wanted to come see her anyway but there was a small trail ride so we came over here to the stables and just got done unsaddling the horses from that. I even went on the trail ride today! I rode the mule, Snuffy. I'm hopping on the internet while Alison is grooming and working with Princess. Alison has heartstrings with that horse. What an amazing thing that is! I don't know if there will ever be another horse quite like Princess to Alison...sorta like her first love...only it's a horse -- thank God!
