Family, Fishing, and Pasture Puppies!

 

I left work on Friday afternoon to head down home. Here I would be rebuilding some stairs with my cousins. I would be also assisting helping my cousin with other chores and yes, a little fishing would take place.

I arrived on Friday evening and then we would go to see our much younger cousin graduate from High School. O-the memories that came back to be about my high school days …lol… I could not wait to escape high school.

Saturday we all would demolish the ramp up to the house and get everything set up for the reconstruction of the stairs. It was not difficult but making sure it was structurally sound was a wee bit frustrating. We all put our minds together and made it happen.  Now Henrietta Hippo could dance a jig upon the stairs, and they will not fail.

We would go up and take care of my cousins’ horses and look at the minor barn roof repair.

I have thought of a new phrase for horses. I will call them Pasture Puppies from now on. These creatures are inquisitive, nosey, ornery, and just like to get into trouble. We will call them the three stooges.

Saturday came and went with the aleve I needed to take to survive the next few days.  The pond fishing was amazing. I used flies and jigs. I could some enormous Bull-Gills.

Sunday came and we putzed around the house fishing and helping to take care of the Pasture Puppies.  My family has been raising quarter horses for over 100 years from our rough calculations this weekend.  They are amazing animals, and they really don’t know how big they are from the way they act at times.

Monday, we woke up and my cousin per his amazing ways made breakfast. The food was epic chip beef gravy over toast and my goodness if you did not get enough to eat it was only your fault!

So, my cousin told me this morning that three stooges got loose into the big barn from the rear pasture.

My older cousin opened the barn door and came face to face with these three.

They stood right there as if to say to each other “act like nothing’s wrong, O-hi how are you this morning”. I am glad my cousin did not get hurt by them and they went back into the rear pasture of the barn area.

We arrived today and made the roof better. Meanwhile the three stooges were curious and getting in the way every way possible. Thusly I am calling them Pasture Puppies.
