Monday, July 7, 2008


Pat worked at the Roadhouse today, so Shawn and Laura and I were left on our own.  We took care of all the chores early, and then just mostly took it easy.  They were exhausted from their long weekend, and I was tired, too, for some reason.

Chaco and I are on the outs.  He wouldn't talk to me today.  I didn't encourage him much, either.  I went to the corral once and turned my back to see if he would come to me, and he didn't, so I left.  A few minutes later I saw that he was in the stall that I've been training him in.  It might have been his way to entice me over there, but I wasn't going.  I have to be the lead mare to him, and he isn't ready for that yet.  Until he is, I can't work with him.

New Mexico has a magnificent fiery sunset almost every single night.  My sister told me that when she moved to New Mexico, she took about thirty rolls of film just of sunsets.  I have been resisting, but this one got to me, so I thought I'd share it.
