We had a lot of meltoff yesterday... the trees unloaded, so that's good. We're getting a warm rain system later today and I worried about them (like I always do) if we get rain on top of what was there, they're holding about as much as they can take!
But now we're OK. Bring it on! It'll be a slushy mess to walk in, but we'll get through that.
Horses are bored though... Cyn has taken to chewing on posts and trees.... Bay's lounging in the barn this morning...
Well hey there! I’d just about given up on ever seeing anyone on this thread again, so I’m glad to see y’all back.
Hair, I’m glad to hear the snow is loosening it’s grip, at least on the trees. I’ll bet it’s been a real trial!
Becky, I’m glad you had a good Christmas with the kids. I hope Travis is ok. Chest pains in someone that young, or at any age for that matter, are really scary. I hope you didn’t get any bad weather. We’re supposed to get some really nasty storms sometime after midnight tonight, and I hate stormy weather at night. The weather’s been really crazy around here lately, with 15* temps on Monday and now 70+ yesterday and today.
Cindy, your new puppy sounds like fun! I’m looking forward to seeing the pics of him!
And Duchess, how’s things going out your way? Are Bob and all your horses ok? Are you still selling some or are you pretty much down to the ones you’re going to keep?
I actually went riding today for the first time since before Thanksgiving, in short sleeves no less! It had been raining and cloudy pretty much every other day from then until now and it was getting really old. I don’t cope very well to a lack of sunshine! :-p
HaveFaith didn’t get to go. She’s gone to S. Alabama to see her Mama but should be back tomorrow. And BladeRider has had her kids over for the holidays, then her older brother and his kids came down for a few days so she was hanging close to home too. That left me and my old riding buddy Shirley. We just took a short half day ride out of the horse camp but it was really nice. When we got there, there weren’t that many other people there, but on the way back from the break area we met more riders coming down the trail than we’d seen in a long time. I guess everybody else had cabin fever too, but just waited a little later to get out. We plan on riding again on Wednesday too since several of us are off work. I just hope the weather holds!
