Hey Darlin',
My plan today was to do a bunch of errands in the morning and get back to do housework this afternoon, but that didn't exactly work out as planned. My first stop was at Jo's to pick up a package with some med's for Lola and the pink flags I need for setting up the ride next weekend, and we took a few minutes for Lola to have a playdate with her four dogs, since she gets so excited every time we pull up into Jo's neighborhood. A brief stop at the Dollar store where I picked up a couple of things. Next stop was at the Triple J ranch where I had previously bought some really nice green coastal. I decided that rather than use the hay I had already stored, I would just buy enough to last me my stay here and leave those eight bales for the next leg of my journey. Unfortunately, they didn't have anymore of that nice hay, it was just your usual coastal, but Chelle had told me that Farmers Direct still had the greener stuff, so I drove up there. Turns out they were out of coastal, but had a truck coming in around 2:30 this afternoon. They were pretty sure it was of the greener stuff, so I decided to wait for it. While I did, I took a drive down to the trailer place to check on my little trailer, and learned the axles hadn't come in yet, so it would be mid-January before it would be ready. They had put the new roof on, though, so that was a major improvement. After that, I stopped at a park near the hay place, because I read they might have a dog park, but it was just open fields, so I just sat and read for awhile before heading back to the hay place. Eventually the trailer with the coastal arrived, and I was happy to see it was the lovely green stuff, so I bought another fourteen bales. Then I stopped at Helen's to pick up some cans for recycling, then I dropped those off at Forest HQ before finally getting back to camp around 3:45, much later than I had anticipated. Poor horses, I only had a few flakes to give them this morning, figuring I'd be back by noon, but they were waiting patiently for me, and attacked the new hay as soon as I put it in the paddock. Stored the rest of the hay under the gooseneck and finally was able to start my evening. A busy runaround day, but at least now I'm set for hay until I leave to head south. Gorgeous weather today, and more on the way, so I definitely would like to get some more riding in this week! Housework is calling me, so I'll have to squeeze that in sometime, but you know how that always ends up at the bottom of my to-do list. Time for bed! Good night, my sweet! Love you!
