We are really over this wind

Today Louka Oscar and Arani were loose again.  The wind is so strong across the flats (5 acre paddock) that it snapped off some of the electric tape standards- broke clean off where the shaft attaches to the foot or bit you press into the ground....The electric tape then flies up in the air with a twirling pigtail standard attached to it...My Gosh talk about desensitising- this has to be the ultimate.....Here the 3 of them were with the tape billowing in the wind -crackling everytime it hit the ground.  Lynn arrived and helped to get them back again...It really isn't too bad...Louka actually walked back into the yards, but when Arani and Oscar took a while to come back as well- he decided he may as well have a bit of a hoon, so he came back out. Thankfully Arani and Oscar went back in with a bit of prompting and then Louka followed me in....it is such a mission in the wind...not easy to deal with at all....can be rather frustrating...BUT that's horses and some of the things that can just CROP UP WHEN YOU REALLY JUST WANT TO BE INSIDE READING A BOOK!!  Hahaha not today Hose'. Alisha and I did a lot of gardening today trimming and raking leaves etc...look'n good!!! then we went and groomed Louka...He is a lovely rich soft chocolatey colour with a light underbelly now..He is a very striking chap, and just soooo laid back- I have kept them in the yards tonight- maybe he'll stay clean. Oh how I wish.  Sarg and Gypsy are still down by the creek- it hasn't rained much and that silty soil is so good for their feet at this time of the year...Dennis put new sawdust into the calf pens, so we are looking pretty spiffing at the moment...EXCEPT FOR ALL THE MUD but I am ignoring that for the moment- it's too depressing acknowledging it. Hee hee
