SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

 Another beautiful sunrise.

It's getting greener and greener.

 Chilly enough to leave the sheets on the horses.

 Three of them stayed in the paddock for hay...

 

Mustafa headed straight for the pasture and the pretend grass. 

 

I left Berlin's door open so the barn could absorb a little of the heat that was on it's way.

With Barb's help, we finished chores by 8:30 again.  She went home and I worked on the garden (above) until after 11.  Really cleaned it out.

 

 There's the yucca plant...NO SNOW!

 Gucci and Phoebe stuck it out with me the whole time.  We went out at 7:30.

Jen dropped the boys off around 1pm while she went to a political event for an hour.

 They didn't even come in the house...headed straight for the swing.

 Grampa got a little carried away with his pushing.

 When they finally came in, Finn wanted to see my new drum.  We messed around for a long time....he's a natural.

 The temperature was over 50 and the sheets were off.

 Sidney was outside until after 3....

 Then he came in for a two hour nap.

 Gucci was at attention, waiting to see what was next.

 I went out to the paddock with a bag and a shedding blade.

 Does my 33 year old Masterpiece look divine or what.  I can grab a handful of hair and pull it right off.

 Zero excuses left.  Kate (All Horse Stuff) sent me some great weather and after reading all that she does with THREE horses on a regular basis....I was shamed into riding today.  Berlin has not been ridden all winter and she was a doll.  A bitless bridle....no problems...my kind of horse.

 Went in for about 45 minutes before chores.

 The ponies were going for their pre dinner....dinner.

 While I was in the barn, Gary made veggie burgers and some corn that we had blanched and frozen last summer.  There is just no comparison.  When I got in, made the coleslaw and we were good to go!  It tasted great!

Finished....A very busy week coming up.

Night all.
