Jeezum Crow, or is it Geezum Crow? (Vermont saying for you out of towners). Where'v I been? Fallin' behind on blog posts. For a day or so there I thought it was spring and got all excited about it. Turned to flurries the next day, but never fear ...spring is almost here. Down to three layers on the top today. Was one year ago exactly that I moved the horses to the Johnson land. The week before, Kara, Jo and I had spent our time pounding a few hundred cedar posts for fencing. Glad I'm not having to do that right now. Still got two feet of snow in some places. Top wire of the fence at the horses elbows in the back 40. Two different vehicles got stuck in the mud in the driveway today. Not too bad considering the traffic around the Center. Had a couple of horses up and down it, four or five trucks, a couple of cars, and a Subaru. Subarus don't count as cars around here, or as trucks. (They're the un-official Vermont car and are in a category all by themselves.) Can't drive up next to the Caboose for a bit of time till things dry up. Take note. Won't mention the site around the arena foundation. Might lose your boot if you walk in too far. Won't mention anything like that to the crew till they get here early next week... if their foreman gets out of the hospital. THAT has really held things up. Have learned alot lately about accepting those things we can't change. Like the weather and sick foreman. Found some used spring tiles on craigslist. They were practically right in our backyard and at a price I couldn't pass up. Funny language the guy spoke when he pulled in with a 36' trailer to deliver them and thought he'd make that narrow turn at the bottom of the driveway. Guess we gotta fix that culvert. Couple of words I didn't quite understand when he got his rig stuck in that mud a bit later. Dang...hope his day got better.
