[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

The neighbor came over for a visit today, and it was very nice.  She seemed to get it when I explained that my two mares at home weren't really riding horses, so we spent some time just grooming them and visiting.  She reminds me of various people I have known over the years.  She smokes, I suspect she either is or has had some addiction issues.  Isn't it strange, how it feels like we're meeting the same couple of people over and over again in different forms?

It was just really nice to talk to someone.  Since my husband went back to work on Monday, I've really missed his company.

Then I went back to cleaning out dead wood in the shrubs for most of the afternoon.

I kind of went down a music worm hole for a while, and once again I am struck by how I can't think of too many truly iconic musicians in the last decade.  Any that could hold up to the drum solo from "I Can Hear it in the Air Tonight", or could match anything by the Rolling Stones, or "Lose Yourself"' by Eminem?  Sure, there's lots of good music being made, but anything that makes the hair on your arms stand up?

I finally painted a bit, for the first time since I went home to visit family.  I can get funny about starting again after a break.  I do take deliberate breaks from time to time.

The company of my animals.
