September 1: The Horses Break Out

Friday, September 1, 2006

​At 7:30 this morning, it was 22* F. 

I wrote letters today. It is a good way to stay busy, but I have no table and it makes my shoulders hurt. I only have two stamps left, so I will have to go into town soon, whether I want to or not, unless someone is going to the post office and they will pick some up for me.

Yesterday, just before supper, the horses broke through the fence and almost escaped, but Keith saw them. When he went out there, all but one horse went back inside the pasture. Then a wrangler arrived and handled everything.

Last night, the horses got out again, but I didn’t hear them. They went to the ranch above us. We get their neglected basset hound (who was down here again yesterday) and they get our escapee horses.
