[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

Getting to town to pick up several items, one being an old medicine cabinet that I thought would work in our farm house. It's a wooden one with a mirror, and it looks pretty old. I've been stripping the old finish off of it tonight.

Getting back some items that I had in a store on consignment. Long story, I made some necklaces and bags to sell (and I did sell some) through a local store. She changed locations in town, changed her stock a bit, and didn't have any of the consignment stuff on display anymore, so I asked her to return what I had there. It took her something like....four years? I thought it was just gone forever.

Wearing some nice loose summery pants today. Nice to break my pattern of yoga pants all the time. Part of my resolution to start wearing what's in my closet.

A good ride on River. He seems less hungry (when I give him some extra feed, he's not freaking out trying to eat it), so I guess the extra feed the barn owner said she would give him is helping. He was energetic and we did lots of cantering, probably because he can't run in all the mud in the corrals right now from all the rain. He behaved pretty well considering a storm was brewing outside and rattling the siding on the arena.

Nice to chat with another boarder about the hay cubes; it might help her senior horse keep some weight on to add soaked cubes to his extra feed. Also grateful that another rider showed up, so that there was someone around so I could ride too.

Finding some Gorgonzola cheese that didn't come in a big, wasteful, plastic tray.

My sweetie got some stairs built for the front entry of the farm house.
