Windy days

Wow that wind last week was just a little bit more than crazy.  I am glad that it has finally slowed.  Our farrier showed up Tuesday morning, and was able to trim all the horses in our barn.  He knew he would be able to use the barn, otherwise he would have rescheduled.
This weekend the girls had 4-H club days.  Allie is the president of our club so she was able to make it through the model meeting.
Allie also played the piano and gave a project talk on Grass Fed and Grain Fed beef.  That was a very broad topic, but we were able to help her condence it down to a 6th grade level talk.  Addie gave a demonstration on how to make a thank you card, and then write it.  She also played the piano.  Weston made a project talk on coyotes, but since he is not really in 4-H he didn't give it to anyone except us.  He made me print out a bunch of coyote pictures and he glued them onto a poster board.
Cousin Levi got to show off his weather balloon in the Show-and-Tell category for first year 4-H'ers.  He got up and shared his big smile and talked about finding the balloon out in a field with his dad.  He also gets to use it for his science fair project.
Then the boys played hard at our house all day Saturday.  They went and played in the sand pit, played basketball and just as the wind came up and the front started coming in the wanted to ride horses.  So Luke saddled up two horses.  Weston claimed Goldie was hard for Levi to ride, so next time he would let Levi ride Diamond. It's interesting that Diamond is easier for them to ride, because she is certainly the hardest horse to catch.  Not only does she know every trick in the book, I think she wrote the book.  Goldie on the other hand generally allows me to walk right up to her and catch her.
