Another milestone today. Harry was officially honorably discharged by Carmen, Occupational Therapist. She will be missed here, with her calm and familiar demeanor and her solving of logistical challenges. Last week, she and Harry figured out how he could get into the bath, and he has successfully done that for several days now. That was his ultimate specific goal. With that accomplished, and with his strength increasing daily, he no longer needs Carmen.
Oisin was a sh*#head today (literally), so I had to get a picture. He thought that was very funny…
It was windy today, so riding was a little nerve wracking. Jane said Derry gave her an exciting ride over, spooking at a wheelbarrow. Bart was as wild as I have ever known him, as I walked down the driveway waiting for Jane to arrive. Our Irish horses were not good old lady horses today! I stayed in the middle of the ring, not going along the edges where the woods were full of strange noises. Somehow, we survived and even enjoyed ourselves.
There is beauty everywhere, despite wild winds blowing blossoms away. The cooler temperatures will slow things down a bit, which is good.
Harry worked hard today in the studio, while I did outdoor chores. Mowing was much more pleasant with cooler temperatures, well worth the procrastination. As important as exercises and working are, rest is still imperative for healing. Weedy enforces that rule.
Resting is healing Weedy the Wise
So, not much to blog about this evening. We have had wonderful phone calls and vigorous discussions. We are so lucky to be able to see the sky and continue our life in a more or less usual routine. Our hearts go out to the people in cities and hospitals. Stay well, and weather this storm. There will be stories to tell.
Really enjoyed those “vigorous”conversations!
That dog has the most
beautiful face.
(I mean the four legged one)😜
I hit send before I got to say that the face on the two legged fella was pretty cute too.
Wow, your cardinal in the crabapple is a cover shot for sure! And you’re riding, and Harry is healing, all good news YAY! Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Yay!!! Good news all around! Hummmm can’t imagine some of those vigorous conversations, but how fun!! Weedy the Wise indeed. Rest is good. Love is good. Friends are good.
