We have had a mild winter (so far). We saw temps in the 50’s for a few days, and that is very unusual for January, but I’ll take it.
I contacted Katie about starting Tweed back up, and she asked if my arena was ready for it. I sent her a couple of photos.
It needs to be dragged, but otherwise, yes, it’s ready to go. We made a date for Friday morning.
We had the most amazing sunset last night. Just stunning. The entire sky was lit up, all directions.
It gets dark around 4:20, which is early, but it has caused us to slow down and read more and even watch a couple of WWII series: Band of Brothers and Masters of the Sky, most recently. It’s good to be reminded of the sacrifices that generation made. Sad, however, that most of them have passed on now. My sons recommended the shows to us, and I’m glad they did.
I tried a new thing the other day: flute yoga. I wanted to see if I could hold the poses and still play the music. It was either going to end disastrously or well, but if it came to saving the flute or myself, I planned to save the flute. 😆 It ended up well for both of us. You CAN do yoga and play your flute, in case you were curious about that, too.
When I play my flute, I position the stand to look out over the turnout and Mt Spokane. The best of all worlds.
Back in the barn, I added wet food to the nightly barn cat routine (at the suggestion of Aurora.) Tuffy, who has never had wet food, LOVED it.
This is where I usually find Wild Dan, nowadays, but he is a killer, and spring will be a different story entirely. He’s probably the only one of the three who still has the instinct. Fair guess there won’t be any mice in my barn.
The fog rolled in this morning. At first, we couldn’t even see the barn. Here are some photos from out and about.
Hopefully, it will clear out by Friday.
