Today I am grateful for:

Sunshine, and longer days.

A good riding lesson with River. His energy was good, and he was nice and light on the bit. As usual, our biggest goal is to get him really moving forward, as it's the only way he can collect.

Lots of socializing with others.

My husband is home again tonight, because the sewer pipe in his trailer where he lives for work is frozen solid. That means no showering, no using the toilet, no using the sink, or the dish washer/clothes washer because it would all back up into the house. Not good with three guys living there. The owner says it will be fixed tomorrow, but we'll see. In the meantime, it's nice to have my sweetie home.

Delicious soup. When I became a vegetarian, I had no idea how I was going to make good soup without a meat base. I just didn't make soup for a long time. This winter has really seen a revival in making soup, and I use vegetable bouillon cubes as a base. I've been using beans and lentils too, and the result is a very flavorful, hearty soup.
