Cleaning up

Just a day of puttering around and cleaning things up. The barn is clean the house is clean and now, my horse is the next thing to get a bathe.
And be clean.



Star Bright is gaining weight and looking much better. She's doing pretty well in spirit, going from a herd, to just her and Buddy to just her.... I think she's liking being an 'only horse'. {Getting lots of attention and treats}



The chickens stay close to the house now since the eagle came and attacked them. All I have to do is clap my hands and call out 'peep' 'peep', come on 'peeps' and they head for the barn into their stall. It's pretty cool being able to corral and herd my chickens. LOL
They all seen me chase the eagle off and save one of the girls. I'm guessing word around the hen house is 'stay close to mum'.



Yep yep. Here it is. 

I finally have my own little horse trailer.

  

It needed a little TLC. 
The doors were hard to open and it squeaked and rattled.
WD 40, new weather stripping and padding and she's sound
 even the doors are easy to open. Some black rust o leum paint touched up a few spots inside... 

Still needs a good washing and maybe some rubbing compound.
 We'll see how much ambition I have ....
I think it looks pretty cool.


When I seen the stickers on the back, I knew it was meant to be mine.
Star Bright tried to load herself, so I know she likes it too. 
She's wanting to go to the ocean again I think.


I can't wait, it's going to look so good behind my truck!


I finally got the chance to steam clean the seats and detail my truck. Looks as good as new again. Inside and out.
Ready for a ROAD TRIP, mini vacation
A day with my horse...
fishing gears loaded always ready!


After all was said and done, when I sat down to rest, my little chicken came over to see me... She loves taking selfies. They are all very friendly and social.



Just a relaxing day @ the Barn.

For me, it feels good to finally be able to relax and just be myself. No stress, no worries, no negative people, no false pretense. Just my happy little family @ the Bright side of the Barn. I've had heart issues most of my life, they were minor until 2006. Since then, I lost some of my abilities and it made a few things harder. It's not easy to heal and recover by yourself. So make sure you Take care of your health. Don't let people or stress give you a stroke or heart attack.! 


Blessed by God,
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn.
Thanks for stopping by,
Until next time, Stay safe and Happy Trails.

Grow up or Grow old

We are all going to grow old, no doubt about that one.

BUT


Do we all grow up?


Some never leave high school .....


Some never get serious ...


Some get too serious ....

You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing. — George Bernard Shaw

Age is a number....

We define when a person should 'act' a certain way....

The invention of the teenager was a mistake. Once you identify a period of life in which people get to stay out late but don’t have to pay taxes — naturally, no one wants to live any other way. — Judith Martin
I'll leave you with a final thought.....

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands. — Anne Frank
I hope everyone is having an amazing day,
God Bless
