Falling into summer

This weekend started with a jolt.  Friday was hotter than... well... hot and riding in the arena was already painful.  Ike tripped, fell and dragged me down with him.  I escaped unscathed (after performing some acrobatics out of the saddle) and landed on my feet but he ended up gashing his lower lip with his own teeth on his way down.  Poor baby was hanging his head and dripping blood from his mouth all the way back to the barn.  Lest you worry about him, he's okay now, eating normally and milking his injury for all it's worth.

Do you think the people who live in the gleaming home featured this week end up with dirt and other gunk under their fingernails and mysterious brown stains on their clothes after a visit to the barn?  I'm sure the feet that pad along those hallways and the bodies that dip themselves into the pristine marble tub glow with cleanliness and smell of roses.  Ahh, to be one of those people.

But then again, I wouldn't have as fun of stories to share with you guys.

  1. I could never live in a home like this because I'd ruin it in about a week. And yes, I prefer the stories over a pristine lifestyle.

  3. Oh no! Poor Ike!! I hope he's ok. I love it when people add "distressed" elements to houses like that - those chairs and stools in the kitchen just don't fit with the pristine cleanliness of the house. One piece of fashionably rubbish looking furniture in an otherwise perfect house. Why?

  4. Oh this house is gorgeous but I look around my home and realise it could never be like this - we're all far too messy!!

  5. I'm glad to hear you and Ike are okay! I prefer stories to perfection, I'm glad you have stories.

  6. I'm glad your instinctive coordination saved you from a fate similar to Ike's. Growing up, the kid next door fell on his face and his top teeth pierced his lower lip. It was gruesome!

    The house looks like a nice place to visit, but I don't think I'd want to live there.

  8. Eek! I'm glad you're both OK!

    And yes, that house is lovely--but too perfect for my taste . . . and my tendency to spill/break things. :)

  10. I'm happy you walked away unscathed! Poor horsey, I hope he's okay too! As for that house, that is some laundry room! And I love kitchens with hidden appliances that match the cabinets.

  11. Glad to hear Ike's ok. Poor guy:(
    And yes...I do hope people who live in houses like this get down and dirty sometimes, or it just seems so unfair....

  13. Poor Ike! Poor you! He SHOULD milk his injury for all it's worth. That's what Violet does. Tell him that she totally gets it.

    I've been having trouble getting paid by the company I freelance for. Nothing huge, just the last two months there have been delays that were totally avoidable. So I was complaining about this to my friend who works there and she told me that their accountant was thrown from her horse and NEARLY DIED about two months ago. She broke almost everything and is back at work on so many pain meds that she can't remember conversations.

    So that explains it.

    All that to say. Don't love the house. I'll take your scruffy socks and grubby mitts any day! ;)
