Hiya Babe,
Last night I had some Sleepytime tea for the first time in a long time, and I slept like a baby! Of course, that might have had something to do with the 22 miles Flash and I rode yesterday! After chores, I got him saddled up for our assignment of the day, the 15 mile red trail. No surprisingly, he was a lot slower today. I got the impression it wasn't muscular, but rather his feet were sore, and I'm pretty sure that was my fault for not putting on his boots. There's a lot more gravel roads being used for trails on the other side, and though I didn't find any visible stone bruising this morning, I'm pretty sure that is was his feet that were the issue. I didn't figure it out until we were well out of camp, so we carried on, just taking our time, which ended up being over five hours. I also went slower because I did quite a bit more trimming and trail clearing, which also slowed us down, but it was a beautiful day, partly cloudy, upper 60's, just perfect! We had no reason to be in a hurry. My pictures today focussed on all the spring flowering trees and brambles, the perfume in the woods at the moment is absolutely gorgeous! Blackberry vines, mountain laurel, and much more all contributed to the heady scent in the woods today. Heavenly! Got back to camp before 4:00, and I was just getting Flash untacked when Louis showed up. We got him backed in and in sync with the neighbors, then I took Flash over to the washrack and got him cleaned up and put away. We chatted for a bit, filled his water tanks, topped off mine while we were at it, and settled down for the night. He offered me dinner but I had already thawed out some chicken, and starting tomorrow, they'll be feeding us volunteers, and I didn't want it to go to waste. Couldn't quite get a good enough signal for TV tonight for some reason, so I just read a bit, and once I'm finished posting and drinking my Sleepytime tea, I'll be off to bed! Good night, darlin'! Love you!
