A nice bright morning, but no dramatic sunrise.
After chores I took a quick shower and met Sally and Judy at Java.
The dogs from A Different Path Gallery were out for a walk at the market.
A week from today, their season ends. What a loss it will be.
Gary was over at Jen's watching the boys and raking leaves.
Got home after 11....Seymour was sunning himself on the back porch.
I did make that apple pie I was talking about yesterday.
Jen, Finn and Coop came up to the farm around 4. A little football with Grampa...
and a little supervision to make sure my horse was cooperative for my first ride in 6 months.
Both girls got a good grooming. Abbe was free to join us in the arena, but she chose to eat grass outside the open door.
I can't tell you how great it was to be back in the saddle. Berlin was a little bucky at the beginning but settled down quickly. Rode her in an English hackamore and she was good to me. Even tho her
l o n g back is dippy, she sure seemed fine and did not act 27 years old. My knee did not bother me at all. ( I only walked today).
Then, this boy wanted to get on!
He was very relaxed and did a great job. I must say, Berlin and Abbe were very cooperative.
Decided to have dinner before doing chores.
Meatball subs, corn and a salad.
Tucked the girls in at 6:30.
Night all.
Let's see if I can stay awake to see the end of "The Good Wife."
Congratulations on getting back into the saddle, that must have felt so good. Take it nice and easy.
