It started raining overnight, and kept raining all day today. Since we couldn’t ride, and we needed a few things, we decided to drive into Milton about 25 miles away for a meal and shopping. I had to take the hay out of the back of the truck and put it under the gooseneck. I only hope it doesn’t puddle under there too much, some of the hay’s gone a little moldy already from the rain we had the other day. Went into town to the Tractor Supply for a new manure rake (my old one kept breaking tines for some reason) and a few odds and ends, had lunch at a nice little Diner called Ace, and they let us hang around and do some computer work that I desperately needed to do. Finally a trip to Walmart for the rest of the items we needed, mostly things to help get our new “cabin” more organized, now that I’ve got everything in it. Miracle of miracles, Hubby decided to WALK around the store! That may not sound like much, but he hasn’t attempted to do that in over a year, always opting for a scooter cart to get him around, so it’s obvious that a horseback ride and a glass of wine (which he had for the first time in a long time last night) is the key to strengthening his legs! SO HAPPY! Got back to camp a bit later than we hoped, so his dialysis session started late and ended late, but we’re determined to be in bed early from now on, since it gets so dark so early these days! It will be better once we get into Eastern time, but at the moment, it’s pitch black by 5:30, even earlier with the rain! Well, it is well-lit here, so feeding in the dark isn’t too bad, just soggy lately. Off to bed around 10, later than we wanted, but as early as we could under the circumstances.
