The 8th has been good weather so far. I hope to work with Shiloh this afternoon. I would like to get her broke before we head down to camp. I guess I kind of chicken out when it comes to riding colts. I'm nervous about being thrown. :-) But I will do what I have to do even if I don't feel great about it. :-) When I broke Millie I had Bev Pilipow cheering me on.... She's such a great friend and gave me encouragement when I was scared and nervous..... unlike some other people who would rather laugh at my fears, though they have never tried breaking a colt. :-( :-) I'm very grateful for Bev putting her things aside and standing by me. :-) It's rare to find a friend that will do that. And I know I don't appreciate her as well as I should.
Evening....
I saddled Shiloh today, and had Lydia pony her for a couple rounds in the field. She did fine and didn't seem to have to many worries about the saddle. So that's a plus. :-) I also weeded part of the garden. Yesterday while I was walking a couple kids drove by in a silver truck.... later that evening Lydia and Martha were out riding and they met the truck a few times, the guys had been going into fields that weren't cut and ruining them by doing spins and driving around lots. Lydia says that she and Martha saw two or three new beer bottles as well. Any how Brad Steppan called a neighbor who's field had been ripped up and he called the police... the police had found the truck and are looking for the kids who were doing the damage. Both of them had been in trouble with the cops several times before, and one of them might have served time before. And I thought we moved into a quiet area. LOL! Not funny what the kids did but strange that we're supposed to be so far out in the boonies and we still get rough traffic. I guess we can be glad that all of our fields are fenced. :-)

Just another day
Well it's raining again. :-) It was nice weather for two days but today 7th it's been raining all day. :-) I think it's making up for lost time.
On the 5th Naomi and I drove down to Covlins so I could mow the lawn and Naomi could do computer stuff. I mowed for an hour paying for 2 quarts of cream so we could make ice cream. After mowing the lawn I posted on the blog.... and emailed some people.
6th in the morning Dad, Mom, Sara, Naomi, Lydia and I went to Preeceville. I went to the drug store picked up some stuff and then headed over to a garage sale. The elderly lady was soooo happy to see me, she said the no one else had been there the whole time she had the garage sale on. So to say she hung over me and talked everything up would be an understatement. :-) I was able to find a few things that weren't to old and also wasn't falling apart.... she talked and talked about a pair of turquoise slippers and she wouldn't let me leave without them. So I am now the owner of some turquoise slippers. LOL! Some people are so funny to be around. :-)
And today's raining so no outside stuff is getting done. I did go for a walk in the afternoon. Not to far.... and it wasn't raining to badly so I ended up not needing the umbrella I had brought along. :-)
Eugene came up last night, after lunch he and Blaire headed out for Saskatoon where Blaire's mom lives. Eugene said he'd probably drop by next week sometime so Lydia can give Blaire a few more horse riding lessons before we head for music camp. Only 10 more days till we head out. :-) Fun is on the horizon. LOL!

more pictures
One of our roses.... And if you were coming to visit us this is the view of the our house. :-)

Lydia riding Coyote through the dugout in early July since then it's cooled off a lot..... Martha took a picture of Shiloh running, Martha was moving the camera with the horse, but I really like the way it turned out. :-)
August 5th
Weeded the garden this morning, I had made a casserole so I just had to put it in the oven an hour before we ate. It gave me time to weed my part of the garden. :-)
this afternoon all the kids had the horses out and were intending to go for a ride.... they said that they would be mostly walking but I should have known that never turns out. :-) So I had Shiloh and was walking with her.... ended up not knowing where the kids went so we wandered around for 45 min. or so till I found the path they took... it's hard to find horse tracks in the grass. :-) Not a bad walk, but Shiloh leads a lot better when it's just me and her there. She listens very well and sticks close to me not trying to run me over.... but as soon as the other horses are there she gets excited and doesn't listen very well. She likes to trot and catch up with the other riders, and couple times she wasn't listening to me bumping on the rope so I had to correct her rather severely..... she tries to rear to get away from the rope that's keeping her from the other horses. But by the time we were walking the last mile home all I had to do was bump the rope slightly and say “walk” so she's an easy learner. :-) I think the walk was around 5-6 miles in all, and I'm out of shape for walking that far..... :-) Funny how soft your feet get after only a month or so of not walking several miles a day. :-) Back in Waldron three of us girls were making 10 -12 miles a day.... because we had nothing else to do of course. But here.... :-) We manage to keep busy enough that we rarely get to walk more than 4 miles in a shot. :-) I prefer a combination of both.... horse riding and walking. I love being able to ride 10-12 miles in a morning before breakfast (as that's when you burn the most calories) and then walk in later afternoon making it back by supper. :-D But that's just me. :-)
Dad called Keith Galbraith (the stud's owner) and he said that Millie had gone back into heat so he wanted us to leave the mares there for another couple weeks to make sure she gets bred. So I guess I'll be having a late June foal if she took this last heat. :-)
Thanks for reading this blog.... I try to make in interesting, and give y'all a look into our lives. :-) Take care, and till next time. :-)

Update
Another up date.... I hope I'm not making these posts too boring... :-) I haven't gotten much response, but it's just something to keep some people updated..... Grandpa Weatherl keeps updated by what Naomi and I type on the blogs.... so I guess the posting is not all in vain. :-)
Spent Sunday (2nd) afternoon at Tom and Debbie's place.... they had been planning an outdoor burger meal, but it rained so we had to have it inside. :-) There were a few games going on, books being read and the kids were allowed to watch two Biblical veggie tales videos. It's nice to get to know them better. :-)
Hey I thought I'd throw this out to y'all.... would any of you happen to have copies of these songs?
Testify,
He saw it All,
When I get Carried Away,
Somethings Never Change,
On my Way, On my Own,
I'm Gonna Sing,
I Pledge my Allegiance,
More Than Ever,
Nothing I Like Better,
There's Still Power in the Blood,
I'm Asking You,
Be Living,
Have you Met my Friend?,
He Lives in Me,
Had it Not Been,
If This is What God Wants,
Make it Real,
Look for Me,
I Don't Belong,
I Talked to Him Today,
Cherish the Treasure,
I Want to See Him Smile,
Mary, Did You Know?,
The Other side of the Cross,
He is Risen,
Just Hold on a Little Longer,
His Love is Like a River,
He's a Personal Saviour,
Child Forgiven,
Prisoner Of Hope,
....... and a non gospel love song, You're my Best Friend..... if any of you have the sheet music you could copy and send me or send a PDF file over e-mail..... anyhow you can contact me at kirkholter :at: gmail.com :-) I've been looking for these songs for a bit, I know lots of them are Gaither songs... But I really don't have the funds to buy their song book, though it is on my wish list. :-)
Any how if you know of any one who might have access to these songs, I'd love to be able to get them some day. :-) I know that chords are fairly easy to come by but for me I prefer the actual notes to be able to play the song. :-)
Have a great day. :-)
