Lyme fallout

The lady has been neglecting us ponies big time.  I mean really.  Sure, we are hanging out here in this big pasture and we have grass and creeks and trees and deer and bunnies and hawks, but some carrots would be nice once in a while too.  The lady comes to see us about 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening and then she leaves again.  She pets Harley, mostly because he just comes barging right up like he owns the place and he puts his head on her shoulder and then he gives kisses and tries to shake hands because he wants treats.  Of course, we would all like to do that too, but he or Billy will bite us if we try.   Billy only comes over if the lady doesn't have any of that pink stuff in a little jar.  The lady takes the pink stuff and smears it in our ears and on our faces and then we look really glamorous.   She put a bunch of it on a spot on Haylie's neck too, where Haylie had a scruffy spot and the scruffy spot went away.   Billy doesn't like to have stuff smeared in his ears.  He is pretty suspicious of stuff like that.

We have a couple of apple trees in our pasture and one right next to our pasture that is still covered with apples.  If the apples fall in our pasture, we eat them, but we can't get the ones on the other side of the white rope. So then the lady goes over there and throws the apples into our pasture.  What fun!  We all run around and try to grab the apples while avoiding getting bit by other ponies.  You have to be careful or an apple will come flying out and hit your face.  It is better to stand pretty far back from the fence so you can chase the apples, but some ponies stand right by where the lady is throwing and the apples end up zooming right by them.  The lady brought another lady with her to give us pedicures and help throw apples the other day.  It was that lady that I bit her hat.  That was a long time ago, but she is holding a grudge and wouldn't pet me when they were out here.  

I think the lady is spending all her time riding those big horses, because she walks funny when she is here.  She hasn't even used that fancy round log pen that the man put together.  She should just come back here and spend all her time with us.  And bring carrots. .
