We got the day off!! Happy Friday! and the day was certainly delightful, warm temps and clear skies, fragrant breeze.
Skip had lost a shoe last Sunday and couldn't raise our farrier through texts or voice mail. Darn it.
I sent a note to an old childhood friend that happens to be a farrier and he said he couldn't come out because he was booked up, then called to say someone had cancelled and he was literally driving past our house right now.
He planned on putting a shoe on Skip but saw that he needed doing, so he did him all the way around. Skip was mostly good for him, too, but as Dean said, "his body language tells me he's nervous." Honestly, you don't know the half of it!
After that we went for a ride, parking at the county line Annapolis Rock lot, crossing the road, going past Mullinix Mill Road, trimming and cutting our way through.
We expected to see no one in the park, but some others also had the day off. A family was at the swimming hole at Mullinix Road, baby stroller parked in the water.
On the way back to our place (didn't go back to the trailer, just rode home) ran into one of the neighbor's kids on his 85cc motor bike in the corn field at the power lines. Later that night there was an accident out on the roadway - I don't know which kid it was, but motorcycle parts, mud and coins are scattered in the yards.
