Taking the deck off my new lawn tractor to install the mulched & getting it put back together without any spare parts & even having it run & mow my huge lawn. (then finding out there was an easier way to do it than to follow those instructions & laughing at myself).
Putting my dumper trailer for my lawn tractor together & finding out when I went to attach the hitch that the holes to do it with were at the back of the trailer rather than the front where they should have been (oops, I put it together backwards).....getting that oops fixed & having a beautiful new dumping trailer to haul things around my farm in.
Doing some trim painting in my house & adding the finishing touches to some of the rooms as I see it all coming together.
Learning new things everyday.
Meeting new people & getting to know them where I moved to way across the country.
Realizing that I am as independent as I thought I was 32 years ago.
Calling to my doggie while he is investigating our new farm & having him run to me like the wind.....giving me huge kisses when he gets to me like he has been gone forever.
And of course, a nice hot shower in the morning to get my stiff joints & muscles moving.
Watching my baby foal (3 years ago now) just 2 hours after birth....then after only a few days, having her so imprinted to me that she comes running up to me with her little whinny to greet me when she sees me.
Looking out over the woods on my farm in the morning sunrise & watching the sunset from my porch swing.
Oh, the best.....watching the fireflys for the first time since I was a child(I call them twinky bugs) twinkle around the yard & in the trees.....catching them in my hand & having my doggie sniff at it & have it crawl onto his nose & light up like Rudolph.
