I'm still here

Hi friends, yes I am still here and well. The last week has been a challenge weather wise and life wise. I got some not so good news about the throat issue, seems I must have the dang scope again. The doc is narrowing it down to tumors or cancer, what a great outlook. I am not buying into it quite yet so life is going on. I am taking Harley to the trainers this weekend come snow or high water! He is quite the little mud ball again and it will be a challenge to make him presentable for public viewing. Good thing he is a ranch horse! Today he followed me up and down the fence as I was doing some trough filling and minor fence repairs, I think he misses riding and our time together. It is going to be hard to get there to ride him regularly with the trainer being an hour south of me but I am definitely going to go the extra mile. My oldest son who will be five in May has begun to take an interest in Tank and I am encouraging it all I can. The old man is so grateful to have the attention and Carson is learning how to groom him, well... his legs since that is all he can reach. I love seeing them together, Tank is so patient and careful which is just what timid Carson needs. Not sure if I related but Harley bit or rather nailed Carson in the back last winter and scared the be jeez out of him. Totally unprovoked and had me questioning if I wanted to keep him around after that. We have all learned that anything below Harley's mouth is fair game, dogs, chickens and small people. We are working with a flag at warning him to back off when waved but the little folk are not the greatest at timing just yet so we are vigilant in watching him around the kids. Starting to think about a trip in the near future I am getting spring fever bad! A few days of 40's and you'd think I was back in Florida. Here's looking ahead....
