I got home after work Wednesday and I decided it was time to bake… so I put my apron on and got to work.. I baked a batch of peanut butter cookies… but, check this out.. I made them out of chick peas and peanut butter… they were good… but, I didn’t bake them on parchment paper.. and I burnt them on the bottom … :/ oops..

| The Trailer |
Needed to buy a new big ass trailer… needed one for hauling cattle…. well, that’s one reason, the other reason I can’t really talk about yet…
But, I will hint around..
There is an opportunity for some 2-3 year old mares from Nebraska to make way down to Southern Carolina… and It just might happen.. like a lot of them 🙂 I’m excited…
Meanwhile, Friday I went to get my friend Cate’s horse from her barn and bring him over my house.. because Saturday we were going to a Barrel Race… Now, mind you.. neither one of us have ever barrel raced before.. hahah so, we were going to practice then roll out to the race and see what we could accomplish…
So, Friday night, Cate and I had dinner then built a fire in the fire pit and sat around and drank wine… and called it a night…

| Morning sunrise over my horse pasture |
Bright and early Saturday morning I got up to feed horses and check on the general population pasture…. and Cate’s horse…
then headed out to a barn to work on some horses…
After that I headed home and Cate was on her way to my house… and we got our horses saddled up and found out that the barrel race was canceled.. so we decided to ride the property, I had to move some cows from one section of the ranch to another and lock them out of this one pasture…
so, we checked for them and checked the fences then got involved with some yellow jackets and we took off bucking and a running from the bees… hahah..
so then we got into the arena, and I set up some barrels and we practiced… I think we are ready…
I just need a timer to check out the times…
So, after that.. there was a whole lot of fence repairing to do, so I called in the farm help and got a big long to-do list done… Meanwhile, while I had the guys working.. I went over to my parents house and my mom talked me into going to this antique store… so we spent a few hours in there.. I got this really old measuing cup set, two silver fancy butter knives, and an old griswold corn muffin pan.. it’s cool.. I might use it tonight…
When I got home, I helped fix the gate post and we finished work around the ranch about 10:30pm…
I went in the house, and was exhausted, so I started reading.. Oh side note on reading… I pre-ordered the new kindle paperwhite 🙂 I’m super excited about that… Now I don’t have to read with a light.. hahah
