In order to keep Milton on his feeding regimen, his hay for the day is weighed & portioned out each morning. I was looking to buy yet another bucket. Spotted this at SSF. Can I have this? You want a broken bucket? Sure, take it.
REDUCE? Ha. REUSE? Yes! RECYCLE? No one takes plastic #2. If they did, I doubt they would take an old muck bucket.
Ate the result. As I did not do last year. [Edible Book]
Elsewhere
There doesn’t appear to be a central source for Edible Book displays or contests. Each school or library has their own rules. The College of Saint Benedict & Saint John’s University libraries in Minnesota require that the Edible Book refer to a well-known book, that the source book be recognizable from the design, and that it be 75% edible, Instagram: @csbsjulibraries 29 March.
Awareness of the outside world. The Pulitzer Prizes: 10 images from the Newseum’s Pulitzer Prize photo gallery, A Q&A with the curator of the popular Pulitzer Prize-winning photography exhibit. Pepitone, approx 2016. Content warning, some seriously disturbing photos. News-worthy photos do not arise from the happy moments in life. I keep forgetting this fact. “A significant percentage of our visitors are schoolchildren, so we do have a warning on the wall at the entrance of the gallery. However, I think visitors understand that these are news photographs and that we live in a troubled world.” Babic, ibid. Still, interesting to read how the exhibit was put together.

The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) offers year-end awards for different breeds that compete in dressage.
This year, the American Saddlebred Horse and Breeders Association, Training Level Open & First Level Open were won by Paddyngton’s Gold Glory. Intermediate I Open was won by Rockin In Vegas. There were no other competitors. USDF Connection March/April p156, Your Dressage: Chosen By a Saddlebred
This means the door is wide open for someone with a jumping Saddlebred to win the year-end title in Training Level: Adult Amateur. Ahem. [Finding A Horse To Match The Hat]
In addition, this was when I learned that the American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA) is now the American Saddlebred Horse and Breeders Association (ASHBA), and has been for three years. Oops. ASHBA: Straight from the Horse’s Mouth: The Urge to Merge
The feed store is closed on Wednesday afternoons. This fact will not stay in my brain. The store has extended their Wednesday hours until 3 pm. I still missed. [I Remembered!]
We have registered for the Virtual Tevis Cup 2024, 100 Miles in 100 Days. This will be our fifth year.
As last year, the bulk of our mileage will be one mile of hand-walking each morning. Since this is our daily activity, we would do close to 100 miles in that time period anyway (crosses fingers).
However, doing one mile each day for 100 days does not leave any buffer for life to happen, either for good or for ill. Therefore, we plan to do a second mile each Saturday and Sunday, perhaps even under saddle.
Until the start on 10 April, we will be working to get Rodney alongside the idea that a quiet stroll in his own pasture is in his retirement contract. [Saddles!]
