It started with hauling two equines over the pass in my horse trailer – Chris, who was going to a new home (she loves him!) and King, a B Welsh pony for Correy’s next driving project. Talk about Mutt and Jeff! Since the weather has been icky, I figured I’d have to chain up, and needed chains for the trailer. When I went to get them, the ones they had were so slick to put on, I bought a set for the truck too (I have some chain chains that I’ve never opened, and will now return). I had Correy’s daughter, Brin, with me – what a helper! I guess I should admit that until this time, I’ve never put chains on a vehicle… in my whole life! Fortunately, these new-fangled chains are a snap to put on, and easy to take off. It was slow going over the top, but we made it, and everyone was fine.
Got to Correy’s and dropped off the pony (sorry no picture, I wasn’t thinking…). He looks like a miniature Clydesdale. We then went to the fairground to set up (Correy and I share a booth). Again, no picture (ditto…).
We went back the next morning to finish, and these pictures don’t really show much… (Except LindaLou having a good time!!)
I couldn’t resist this picture:
On Sunday, Correy and I traveled out to Ashwood so I could pick up this year’s pigs. After helping with pig rodeo, I brought home these 3 boys:
Rainfall total: 75 inches since November 1, 2010.
Have I mentioned that I’m ready for spring?

Pig rodeo, huh? I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to wrangle our three little piggies home a couple weeks ago. However, that will be different in a few months when they head off to the 4-H fair and auction (and then to freezers, including ours). And yes, the rain, rain, rain... I'm going crazy because of it. Here on the Oregon coast we don't even get snow to break the monotony!
I miss you and Linda Lou - dangit. Congratulations on your booth and sales!
So glad I got some of that roving... maybe in a couple weeks I'll get more, after we pick up Kevin :)
So nice to see Linda, even in a picture!
75 inches??? Gee whiz, and I thought we had it rough! Sounds like you sold a lot and that's fantastic. I'm looking forward to when we can have some pigs too. Wouldn't mind seeing a pig rodeo, come to think of it.
Great to hear you did well at the sale!! I love the roving you sent and promise to post it soon on my blog.
