Jane and Eddy and I returned to Happenstance this morning to watch Vera again. Ellen Baehr is Susan’s trainer, who is giving Vera a good foundation, and it has been wonderful to watch her ride and teach. I have known Ellen all her life, watching her become a talented horsewoman and a brave and unique person. The day was filled with laughter and fun.
Well, I returned home to fix a very sad excuse for lunch, and then, inspired by Justine, I decided to get back in the saddle, and I rode all three horses. They were all well behaved, and a delight indeed!
Last week, between rains, I had used the tractor to move screenings. Eddy wanted to have a ride!
That green sweater I was wearing, had a big hole in the arm. I removed it when it got warm, and left it on the bench in the barn. The cats are delighted. They love cashmere!
Harry has been working in the studio, but is somewhat sidelined again by a bad back.
Weedy kept Harry company when Eddy and I were at the horse show. We both wish we could fix Harry’s back!
On our way to Happenstance, we saw vultures eating a dead skunk. I was able to stop the car and take a picture. I love turkey vultures! They clean up the worst messes, and they are beautiful in the air. They are the birds of the day today, with just a couple of others…
So, as the world seems to devolve, we are fortunate to live amongst other species and close to Nature. Wishing everyone solace in difficult times…
Be safe, be well, be kind and stay strong. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
