When Life Gives You Rubbish

Today is trash collection day and it is very windy.

Our neighbors didn't consider the wind when they set cardboard boxes out with their trash this morning; empty boxes except for some packing paper inside.



The boxes, of course, blew onto our property and I retrieved several long strips of packing paper from our horse pasture.

The neighbors have driven by several times and surely they have seen how their boxes have gone astray, but they've done nothing to retrieve them.

Apparently they believe that once their garbage has blown off their property, it becomes the refuse of another.

I could be annoyed at my neighbors...or I could turn their trash into something useful.

Perhaps I could use it to frighten desensitize my horses.

I tied several of the long strips of packing paper around the corral panels.



They crackled and flapped in the wind like spooky hellions (mischievous snickering ensues).



When life gives you rubbish, turn it into a training tool.
