Rancho Vista Moments
9/13/2008 - Each morning after I
feed or turn out the horses, it's time to set
irrigation water for the day. Sweet
Pea--that's the little tortoise-shell
cat--always knows when I go and appears from
behind a clump of grass to supervise. She
walks up and down the ditch and field with me
everyday.
It's still cool mornings and the water can be
cold. It's an old ditch and flood system
with rocks and boards and dirt clods for gates.
The work gloves go on and off, on and off, as I
have to get my ands in the water or warm them or
dry one off when Sweet Pea comes close enough
for a pet.
Ditch water is a puzzle--where it goes, how
fast, how much--and sometimes I just sit in the
grass and watch the morning until the water
fills a different side ditch. I watch how
much the grass has grown and what is blooming
and what weed need to be pulled.
When it's set for another day, I
start back for the house and Sweet Pea streaks
by me, off to her next adventure. |
