Otis and his first horse ride!!!

Otis had his first try at theraputic riding last weekend, and loved it!

here is a short video... Originally it had a really nice soundtrack

(Lyle Lovett: If I had a Pony...) but YouTube deleted the soundtrack

for copyright issues... shoot. So the elevator music is YouTube approved,

but not so great....

Giddy Up!!

Otis had his first experience today doing theraputic horseback riding... he loved it and did
just great! The horse was an older Apaloosa named Holly, very sweet and gentle. O especially liked going around the cones and over the poles laying on the ground... we will be trying it again soon. Yee Haw!

Winter Wood

Trying to keep warm in Vermont during the winter can be a full time job, especially when you live in a big ole drafty house.... we have two wood stoves, one upstairs and one downstairs, and between the 2 of 'em we keep it pretty decent in here. This year, for the first time in 8 years, I have had to buy some cord-wood, since I wasn't around last year to keep my supply stocked. As much as it pains me to pay money for firewood, it is nice to have a good supply on hand. Yesterday the boys were excited to watch a huge lumber truck pull up and drop about 7 or more cords of logs, which i will now have to buck up, split, haul and stack..... nobody said it was easy playing at woodchuck :)
