What a Day!

Gorgeous!

 This is the first day the outdoor arena was really nice enough for the horses

to hang out and not get filthy.

 I finally knuckled under and made an appointment with a massage therapist

today.  Arrived at Hartwell Hall at noon and was happy enough to start going again once a month.  I have not had a massage since my last therapist moved away many months ago and now I realize what I have been missing.

 Before dinner I went out to the paddock

 and totally removed Rebel's wrap.  It was dry and I decided to let it have some air while I babysat.

 Karen rode Angel and she was a very good girl.

 We both agreed that Rebel's pastern is looking better.

 Before going in, I wrapped him with some gauze and a little vet wrap topped with

a clean trailer wrap.  The vet said he could start going with no cover or ointment

but I think it is too soon.  At least he has no boot on tonight.

 I got a late start on dinner and

used whatever I had in the house.

 Made a quick sauce....had to use green onions as there were no regulars left.

It turned out well and I tossed it with some linguini.

 Unfortunately I deleted what it looked like.

So delicious.

Night all.

Scarlett O'Hara

9pm and the temperature is 54 degrees!

I'll take it.

 We had a limp sunrise and the rest of the day was grey

At least it didn't rain.

 After chores I put Berlin and Rebel in the grooming room so I could take off his boot

and get him cleaned up.  I left them there for a couple hours so his wound could

have air on it while he and his pal devoured some nice second cutting.

 He was great and Berlin was not so happy to be inside babysitting.

 As soon as they were turned out, Rebel rolled...

 reared and bucked

 before he ran after the girls.

 I took it easy for part of the afternoon and Gary delivered 5 boxes

of things (that I cleaned out of my closet) to Life Solutions in Hamlin.

Tip of the iceberg as we have many more items to donate.

Tonight we were invited to have dinner with Brenda and Al.

I made roasted veggies....

 and a salad with apples, raisins, bananas, grapes, crumbly blue and caramelized walnuts.

 Before we left I went out to check on Rebel's wrap.

 Looked ok.

 All was well and we headed into Brockport.

 Dinner was outstanding....as usual.

 The dessert....homemade custard pie topped with raspberries and cream.

We always enjoy these dinners and

 dropped the rest of the pie off at Jenny's on the way home.

What a treat!

 I went up to Brenda and Al's studio to check out their latest projects.

 They have both been well recognized for their outstanding work.
Their studio is perfect.

 Finally.

Here is Scarlett O'Hara, their new dog.

What a sweet girl.  She is 7 years old and has settled in beautifully.

 They lost Tootsie a couple of months ago and fate brought them together.

Such a great match.

 Night all.
