Hi Everyone,
Where did last week go? One minute it was Sunday and I looked on the calendar and thought ” yep, I can get in a blog post on Tuesday.” Next think I know it was Friday evening.
So school started on the 27th and soccer started on the 28th. In that 24 hours I had to fill out at least a bazillion forms including having to email and fax one to and fro with the doctor’s office so Miss L. would have her sports physical on file.
On Wednesday last week our trainee, Walker, went home to his family and the new trainee came here to live. His name is now Asher and if all goes well with his training, he will be officially my horse. I have all sorts of things to say about that, but will save it until a future post. But he is another handsome guy or will be when we finish working out the dreadlocks and cleaning up that muddy hide of his. Asher has more “attitude” than Walker so there will be some serious work on my horsemanship while he is in training.
The rest of the week was baskets full of vegetables to process and back to the school routines. I did manage to finish this little drawing that I started at the beginning of summer. Hopefully I can get on a regular painting/drawing schedule but last week just disappeared before my eyes with no more time left for such things!
There may have been a tiny bit of procrastination worked in as well because I have been sitting on some news that I couldn’t share…until now.
Yes, I am going to be a Mimi (my chosen grandma name) and I’m still processing the idea that enough years have passed for me to get to this stage. It’s not just weeks that go by in warp speed. It’s exciting though. I’m waiting now to find out what the little peanut is going to be so I can start making cute baby things.
This week so far has been more vegetables, a cat to the vet, lots of horse grooming and the never ending house work. I do have a painting at least in my head and hopefully can show you progress on that next week. Until Tuesday (I hope) have a great week. Try to slow down and enjoy it!
