In the Dark

Darkness is my pony-time reality now that daylight savings time has begun. Or ended. Whichever.
It's dark now before I even get off of work. I'm not gonna lie - it does make it challenging when facing this question at the end of a long work day:

Left or Right?

Its in the winter that I really struggle with the 35+ minute commute to the barn each way. But c'est la vie - there aren't a ton of alternatives and I do love my barn.

Because he's killed too many little buckets, I guess.

By the way, this is how Hemie says goodbye to me in the evenings:

Nom nom nom.

Goop all over his face!  I give him a kiss on the neck or rump while trying to avoid face contact. I'll admit - sometimes he slimes me.

And to catch up on my thankfulness.

Day 9 - I'm thankful for a smart, brave horse.*

Day 10 - I'm grateful for good friends and fun double-dates.

Day 11 - I'm thankful for my wonderful doting husband.

Day 12 - I'm thankful for productive, low-stress days at work.

Day 13 - I'm grateful for an inspirational and loving sister.


*On Saturday we did the big log jump after the down bank into water! Such a good pony!
