One day UNDER the rainbow...

I decided to keep Ellie home from school today.

BUT

that's a story for another day.

So I woke up and got showered.

(because I really needed to)

 and while in the shower my lovely children woke.

they began bugging me in the shower 

so 

I sent them down to do chores.

This can sometimes lead to a lot more mess.

So

when I eventually came down I didn't really know what to expect

BUT

they did a really good job.

We made breakfast and as I turned to get the milk, the horses caught my eye.

I threw on my dress shoes and flew out the door.

Biscuits was in the coop.

I ran to the barn.

Grabbed the whip

and went running 

(but not gracefully because I was 1) mad and 2) I am not graceful).

I got there to find my goose coop flattened on one side and 

a

big

fat

ugly 

(well cute but ugly right then)

pony 

eating all the gooses (jeff's) grain!!!!

I 

of course 

didn't think to grab a lead rope or halter.

and 

she is a sassy little thing 

so 

there was no WAY a little tap on the behind would get her out.

I trudged out and found some twine.

I trudged back.

and hauled her out and away from the beloved oats!

Needless to say I spent the morning fixing Jeffrey's home.

It's a good thing dusty always has a million survey stakes kicking around here.

You should see it.

It is a thing of beauty.

Chicken wire, survey stakes, and zippy ties.

This of course had to all happen in the pouring rain and gusty winds.

This is why I don't do my hair.

Because 

when I do

I have to go out in the windy rain.

And now

this afternoon it is sunny

and crisp

and 

we are all happy under the rainbow.
