I don't have much to say....thank you all for reading this! It means everything to me!
Love Always, Evelyn Rose
Shadow is a black stang, Georgia is a buckskinned horse. Firecracker, painted, brown and white, then Moonshine. Moonshine's the oldest of the bunch; he's a solid white with one blue eye and one brown. "Well hey there guys." I pet each one talking to them while Harry stays back. I go to the closet and get an apple for each one of them, "Harry." I call him over to the stalls. "Here" I hand him an apple. "Watch." I call Moonshine over, I put the apple in my hand and stick it out for him, he takes it and eats it, and comes back over to me, I pet him gently on the nose. "Your turn. Choose, Georgia, or Firecracker?" He walks over to Georgia, sticks his arm out, with the apple in his hand, Georgia walks over and takes it from him.
He smiles and I wrap my arms around his waist. "Now pet her." He heiziates, "She won’t hurt you." I whisper, he touches her nose and she walks closer to him, he smiles and keeps petting her. I walk away and go to Firecracker and give him his apple. I leave Shadow for last. I walk over there, and open the stall; Harry follows "Harry stay behind the gate." I say in a serious voice, "Hi buddy. It's me Leigh-Ann. It's alright bud." I say slowly walking over to him, I see him look at me with sharp eyes, but they soon soften when he realizes who I am. I give him is apple and pet him "That's a good boy." I kiss his nose and walk out. "What was that about?" Harry asks as I shut the stalls back. "I found Shadow, he's a wild stallion. He don’t trust anyone else but me. He's still a little weird towards strangers and I didn’t want him to freak out with you in there." Harry wraps his arms around me.
"You’re really hot in these clothes, especially when you gently with these animals, reminds me why I'm in love with you." I kiss him softly. "Let's go." I say jumping on my four-wheeler. I put the key in and turn it on. Harry sits down behind me. "Hold on tight baby." I pull out and ride onto the grass. "Where are we going?" He asks I don’t respond. I drive past the horse pin and the practice barrel racing gates, driving right along the woods.
There's a clearing and I stop. Harry spins me around and kisses me roughly. "I want you so much right now." He says "Not now baby." He starts to pout and I kiss his cheek. I walk over to the swing dad put up when I was little, I sit on it and Harry comes up behind me and pushes me. He asks me questions about the farm, we laugh and joke around. It starts to get really late and we have 'work' in the morning. "We should probably get home." I say as I stand up, and Harry walks up behind me, I run to the four-wheeler and sit down; he hovers over me and kisses me. "Baby," "What?" He says back to me, as he kisses my neck. We have to be up really early in the morning. He sighs, "I really want to though. How about we go home and break in my bed." I say flirting with him.
He jumps on the back of the four-wheeler and we go home. We go in and tell everyone bye, we have to be here at 5:30 in the morning for work. We get in my truck and head home. Harry's playing with my hand and has his other hand on my leg. We pull in and Harry attacks me, "Let's just stay out here," I nod. That night, I don’t believe that truck has ever been so steamy. He carries me in and we go to bed. I wake up at 5, waking Harry up, he fights me again, "Okay be late but you gotta deal with Daddy." I say walking out of the room "I'm up!" He yells I laugh at him.
I dress in a cut off shirt, and raggedy jeans, and my hair up, no make-up. I slip on my boots and wait for Harry. I pour myself a cup of coffee and one for Harry. He walks out in the outfit from the night before. I laugh and almost spit my coffee out. I go into my room and get him a cut off shirt, and re-lace his boots. "There...um. You make a pretty sexy cowboy." I say pulling him closer and kissing him roughly. I pull away and say "Let's go."
We get in the truck and go back to the farm. We pull in and get on the four-wheeler to the barn. "Alright, we have to go to the other farm and get hay, then come back, feed the horses, then the cows and pigs. Plus the chickens, collect the eggs, put the hay upstairs, and then ride the horses. Not that much." "Leigh, are you joking?" "Nope." I get on the four-wheeler and motion him to get on. We pull out of the barn, to the truck. We get in and go through town, everyone that’s out waves at me. "You know everyone?" "Honey, living in a small town with the biggest farm, everyone knows you. We sell vegetables in the fall with the fruits too, we sell eggs, and milk. It's not just a farm, it’s a business." He smiles when I take his hand.
We pull into a gravel road and go to a massive field, dad's already bailing hay. I hand Harry dad's extra pair of gloves, "Trust me, you’re gonna need them." He puts them on and I grab my pink ones. We start to get the hay and put it in the back of the truck. Harry seemed to be okay at first, then after a while it got a little hard for him. We take a little break and then start again. When the truck is full we go back to the farm.
Dad said that he would get the rest so we don’t have to go back. We feed the horses, I feed Moonshine and Shadow, I let Harry feed Georgia and Firecracker. He seems to be taking up with Georgia, which isn’t a surprise, she's the sweetest thing.
After that we walk over to the cow lot. We put the hay out for them and they all come to eat. Afterward I feed the pigs while Harry takes a break. Mawmaw brings us out some sweet tea. Harry gives off a weird face when he takes the class, realizing that its cold tea, "What's this?" He asks. "It's tea, sweet tea. We call it the wine of the south." He takes a drink and then chugs the rest. I laugh at him and do the same.
We go to the hen house and feed the chickens, I let Harry collect the eggs. He's so funny, because he's extremely tall he has to hunch over to keep from hitting his head. "You do this how often?" "Every day." He looks at me with this face. "Babe, I never said living on a farm was easy." He gets all the eggs and then we take them to the house for daddy.
We head over to the barn to put the hay upstairs. This is probably the hardest thing of the day, "Alright babe, this is difficult. You have to put the hay on this, and I will pull it up. If it falls you have to put it back on there." I head on up and Harry puts the first one on. I start to pull it up and it almost falls. We get into a rhythm and Harry decided to sing while I pull them up. It made time go by faster.
After were done, I get mine and the extra saddles and let Harry choose his horse, He chose Georgia and I took Shadow. I put my saddle on showing Harry how to do it. He tries but I help him some. Shadow is so extremely tall, that I actually look down to Harry on Georgia. I tie Shadow up and let him eat some grass while I show Harry how to ride a horse. He tries to get on the saddle and falls off. He laughs, dusts himself off and then tries again. He makes it. I show him out to turn, stop and go. I send him around the barn and he gets the hang of it. I jump on Shadow and we take off through the fields. I go down the trail we made a long time ago we go along the river and stop at an opening to rest the horses. They drink out of the river and eat some grass.
We find a tree and climb up in it. Harry scoots close and put his arm around me. "Shew, I'm exhausted." "Me too" We say. "I had a lot of fun today, Leigh." Harry says kissing my temple. I put my hand on his leg. "I did too" We sit there and watch the sun start to set. "We better go home, I gotta cook supper." Harry jumps down and he catches me when I jump. We get on the horses and ride home. We put them up, with the saddles.
