Monday, February 12, 2024 – Black Prong Green Trail Done!

Hiya Darlin',
Had a good night sleep, woke up refreshed enough to get up early. Started some laundry, did a little housekeeping, then saddled up Flash and was on the trail before 11:00. Today was the green trail, refurbishing stickers, adding a number of markers at intersections that were poorly marked, putting up signs that had fallen down, and general trail maintenance. Had a bit of extra exercise when, after tying Flash to a tree, I turned around and he was gone. Evidently, I forgot to stick the tail through the loop, ignoring the little voice in my head telling me to. I knew he would head for camp, so I just started walking the shortest path, more than a mile, and caught up to him just as he was approaching camp. He actually stopped for a second when I yelled whoa, but then Apollo whinnied and started up again. He hadn't even reached his hay by the time I got to him, he and Apollo were just nuzzling. After a quick break, I mounted again and headed back to where we were and finished the trail, so he didn't gain anything except a couple more miles of exercise. Surely I'll lose some weight today, still trying to get rid of the holiday five I added last month! I did a quick rasp of his front feet before putting him away, did a bit more laundry, and finally settled down to more of The Crown and dinner with an ice pack on my foot, which still aches a bit when I overwork it. A front came through with some rain, and a cold front is headed our way so temps will be cooler again this week, which is why I wanted to get that trail done today. One have the orange trail left to do! Headed for bed here shortly! Good night, babe! Love you!
