Thursday - Cleaned the corral again, today, happily. My favorite horse, Whiskey, and his partner, Missy, are in a pasture somewhere enjoying the grass. I miss him! He should be back soon. While I was out there, I saw about twenty-five vultures circling by the river. It was very cool. I've never seen so many at one time like that. There might have even been more . . . it was hard to count them because they were flying around. A few weeks ago, I saw about eight vultures flying around out there, and then noticed that one had a long "tail." At closer inspection, it was a blue heron flying with all the vultures! Michelle thought maybe it was trying to protect its nest . . . I think maybe it was just enjoying the flying!
While walking Moki tonight, I saw a double rainbow! It was awesome! The second one could barely be seen, but the first one was really bright. I got my camera and took a picture, but the second one was already gone, and the first one faded a bit. Still, you can see how cool it is! The other picture is looking left from my house.
While I walk Moki every day, the fragrances around the river are awesome. It is really nice being out here.
I also saw that a bird had built a nest in the side of my house near the roof. I saw the mom with something in her mouth, and I could hear the babies crying. Then she went in through a hole to feed them. Baby birds . . . cool!
Friday - Tonight I went to square dancing . . . with Moki! Everyone loved him, of course! He was a little noisy at first. But, at one of the breaks, I took him outside, and when I brought him back in, he settled down and went to sleep. What a baby.
At square dancing, we are now getting round dance lessons. This is kind of slow dancing, but in a circle. Tonight we learned the rumba and the cha cha. I learned the cha cha many years ago when I took ballroom dancing lessons. But, the rumba was new. The problem with the rumba is that you have to swing your hips, but I've never been a hip-swinging kind of girl! Maybe this will teach me how!
Saturday - Although he slept most of the day, when he was awake, he was an incredible pistol! I had to do those submission exercises constantly. At least he's scratching the door to go outside now.
Sunday - Moki was back to being the perfect puppy today. I think he was just tired yesterday.
I walked through town today to the local health food store. On the way, I saw a cowboy on a horse "park" his horse in a restaurant parking lot, and go into the restaurant! I am SO in the perfect place for me! On my way to Cortez the other day, I saw some cattle in a field and the calves were so small and the grass so tall that you couldn't see the calves when they kneeled down. It was awesome! It's like paradise for me here!
