Around The Farm:: Charm has proven to be a general distraction, little besides horse stuff is getting acomplished. Over the week end Bob and I managed to complete one landscape project, cleaning and edging a garden bed. Truth be told even this project was horse motivated, once we brought home the plow I wanted a pretty place to put it.
