Today I am grateful for:

The farrier came today, and everything went smoothly. The ponies did a LOT better than last time, so all my work handling their feet is paying off. It's always nice chatting with this person, she's an animal person too, and she's always gentle and respectful in handling the animals. She does a great job with their feet, too. Really, she's been a very consistant person who shows up on time, does a good job, is a professional and so on. I've been very grateful for this over the years.

Sunshine.

My husband was able to take the day off for himself. He's been pushing himself very hard this summer, and he's sore most of the time. I know I was in rough shape for the weeks where I was packing and moving everything and carrying boxes out to the sea can or upstairs in this house, and he feels likely a lot worse than that most of the summer.

It's incredible to look at the basement coming along, to recognize that the size of this basement will be close to how big our trailer was. It's going to have half the walls above ground and lots of windows, so it should be a nice, useable space.

I was able to catch up on laundry, changed the sheets, and made some really good soup for supper. We also processed another big pail of green beans and froze them. With all the rain we had this summer, a lot of the beans just rotted, but we got a fair number of runner beans because they grow on a trellis.

We watched "Fighting with my Family" which is about a female wrestler's journey to the WWF. It was a lot of fun.
