(Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV) Work: rain. Ramblings: Fallow is fine if one’s harvest season has been busy. When I was in college, I loved to visit my grandmother. I’d lounge about. I’d read books. We’d play cards. I’d forget about papers, finals, the fact that I didn’t have a boyfriend, or whatever was troubling my sophomoricContinue reading “To Every Thing There Is A Season”

Tic, Tic, Tic
Work: PM heat therapy/EVE groom Report: same stuff, different day. Ramblings for the Day: The horse may be half full instead of half empty.

Work: day off all around. Every so often, you just have to take a day to get caught up on dishes & laundry.
Barn Dogs
Work: AM heat therapy/EVE brief dust-off during blanket swap. Report: Too cold to stay outside for anything else. I’ve become such a weather weenie, you’d never guess I went to school in New Hampshire. Ramblings: I am a cat person. It is only with great restraint that I do not tip over into Crazy CatContinue reading “Barn Dogs”
