My farmer, my hero.....
Oh yes! Home alone for at least an hour and a half! This is sooo rare! What should I do first? I was thinking of making some hot tea and getting cozy with a book when I suddenly remembered the horses. It was my turn to feed them since Hannah was at her new job until 7:00. So I bundled up (and am I ever glad I did!) and headed down to the horse barn. See the door above? There are 2 latches; one at the bottom and one at the top. That door is the feed room and in I go to get the grain and hay. I shut the door behind me while I was in there because Buddy (the big boy) likes to get nosy and push his way in there. While he is impatiently waiting outside, he paws the ground and tries his best to get the door open. He can't wait to get fed! When he sees the little black latch that we always open he figures that's the way in or maybe he's trying to be a gentleman and open the door for me. I don't know. I can hear him breathing heavily out there and then some more pawing and, unknown to me, he slides the latch shut. Is this a dumb horse or a 'trying- to -be -smart' horse? I've got the grain and I'm ready to come out....except the door is locked from the outside! Yikes! Remember I'm home alone on a 150 acre farm? Don't panic....kick the door...yeah..maybe it's just barely latched. I kick the door and it doesn't budge. Buddy thinks this is funny. He kicks at the door with his front hoof. Every time I bang on the door, he bangs on the door. "Let me out!" I hollered. No answer, just more heavy breathing and bumping on the door. So what's a farm wife to do but to call her farmer? [ farm safety tip: always carry your cell phone because you never know when you might need it!] It took some talking for him to finally believe me, but I guess by the hysterical sound of my voice he finally believed. By this time he is 15 or 20 minutes down the road, in a hurry to get to his destination on time. He doesn't even think twice but to turn right around and come rescue me. My farmer, my hero!
