What did you do today?

[Taffy]

Yesterday I let the goats into the back yard to eat the billions of falling leaves.  Bourbon decided he'd rather be a bird and eat the sunflower seeds from a bird feeder!
   
This afternoon I saddled up Bourbon and loaded up my tripod chair, a light jacket and one of my hiking poles.  I was going to lead him on the road so only used one pole and had his lead rope in the other hand.  While we were walking along the road a big yellow school bus came along.  He thought it might eat him and clung to me for protection.   Once off the road a part of our walk was along a train sidetrack that runs along the edge of one of our fields.  The train only runs on it once a day at 10AM.  It was a gorgeous fall day.  Sunny calm t-shirt weather.  We only walked a little over a mile.  I'm having a total knee replacement in January.  I can hardly wait to get out and really hike again!
