We all know how composted manure and barn tools like shovels and rakes get used in gardening. And I wish I could track down that quote about it being impossible to be both a gardener and a horsewoman/man. Anyway, I have been attacking my neglected gardens lately and also tidying my tack. Cross pollenization occurred and an old gel saddle pad in its cover proved extremely useful and comfortable for kneeling on while re-laying a 70' brick pathway and weeding more feet of garden than care to admit to! You can even double it for really rough or uneven ground.

Colonel McCormick of Chicago Tribune fame, said (roughly) that you could garden or you could have horses, but not both.

Thank you Ann. At present Colonel McCormick is right about our place but over time hope that lots of mulch and landscape paper and maturing young horses help me to prove him as wrong as when he said Dewey won over Truman. gotta log off quick so I can pick up my secateurs and lunge line. hehehehe.
