Big fat nothing

Amazing how a horse can hide
and a testament to the area I live in

it's a big open area

I've spent most of the last week
fretting with worry
and riding my butt off

I hurt bad

and nothing

no new tracks
nothing

we got good rain here last night
so tonight we'll trailer out to a different area
and check to make sure she hasn't been there

Wade's horse is still injured
not healing well
and I may haul her in to work tomorrow

it's not a big cut
but it's on the outside of her fetlock
and it's just not closing up the way I'd like

I am coming to terms with the fact
that I may not see Sugarfoot again
and I probably won't write much on the subject
from here on out
unless I have something to report

I've been on a roller coaster of emotions
and I really have to let it go
and concentrate on my regular life

that said...
Sunday morning
we rode out at 6 a.m.
all of us

we found nothing of course
other than seeing one coyote
but we decided after we got back
we'd toodle up the road to Sedona
and play in Oak Creek Canyon

it was glorious

along the way we stopped at the
Chapel of the Holy Cross

if you go to Sedona
this church is a must see

Wade and Mercy hadn't seen it
so I sat in the truck with Little Dude
while they went inside

I still haven't bought a camera
so all I have is the one shot off my phone
but you get the idea

I spent a blessedly horse free afternoon
laying on a rock
letting fish nibble my fingers
and watching crawdads feed off the bottom

while Wade, Mercy and LD
swam and played and explored the creek

I simply must do stuff like that more often

onward and upward
life goes on...
