(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: short walk, groom. Report: cold & windy. I was for giving the whole thing a miss, discretion being the better part of valor, but Greg insisted on a company walk. It went as well as could be expected in this weather. Rodney was on his toes but not a turkey about it. Which isContinue reading “The Weather Outside Is Frightful (for us)”
