Sometimes it's hard to overcome a dilemma.  There was a huge puddle in front of the barn.  We drove the tractor through it everyday.  It was getting old...and it looked bad.  What did we do to fix it?  We thought of gravel, but that just ends up in the compost pile.  Gravel is expensive too.  I thought of sawdust.  


It's hard to find a place around Hazard that has sawdust.  We used to go down pigeon roost to get some from a small sawmill.  I didn't like traveling the road.  Would you like to travel a road called Pigeon Roost?  High and winding is not my idea of fun with a dump truck.  You should see the driveway to get to the sawdust.  It's a very steep two track with a drop off a few feet to the right.  My heart is in my throat every time I drive down...which has been about 4 times.


We found a place, (praise the Lord), that is clean and dry and we don't even have to shovel.  This factory says we can come anytime we need some.  The puddle at the barn is now filled and the horses have done there share of rolling in it.  They even treat it like their bed.  More than one horse has stretched out in it and gone to sleep.  I call to them to get them to raise their head.  They look like they are dead in the sawdust patch.


I just heard Nate beep with the bus.  We are going to Walmart to pick up campers.  It's going to be a great week.  


P.S.  I'll try to blog more.  I see not many people have been stopping by.  I'd like to get that number up to where it used to be.  Happy Day in the Lord!
