gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Decent sleep.
I did usual animal care, and washed the mountain of dishes.
I did some drumming again with the metronome, and I was able to hold a rhythm for quite some time this way.
It was windy, hovering at zero, and raining most of the day. I put a blanket on Wonder though she wasn't too wet, and the ponies seemed fine without blankets.
I texted the farrier to see when she can come and trim.
Then I went to see River, going to get fuel first.
The gravel roads were sloppy and rutted, and a bit of an ordeal. The paved roads were wet but otherwise fine.
River did well with the "teacup" exercise, as well as somehow being able to do a very good turn on his hindquarters that eluded him on Wednesday when we were trying to do them in a competition class.
The young woman with health issues did come for a lesson today, and I stayed to work with one of R's horses (Maverick). L was also there working with another horse, so it was fairly social.
By then the rain had turned to snow, and R's husband K just got back from town, and said the roads had turned to a sheet of ice. He was worried about me driving home, and was almost insisting that I stay with them...?
Well, I didn't think it was THAT bad, so what I did do was to make sure my husband came to the barn after the climbing gym so that we could go home together.
That seemed to satisfy K.
Well, the snow actually seemed to improve the roads, and by the time my husband and I drove home I didn't think it was all that bad. You just can't drive like an idiot. We drove fairly slow, and gave lots of time for stops and turns etc.
My Sweetie made supper and ate with me (yay!) and we watched an episode of "Dark".
