Hi Babe!
The day started slowly, waiting to hear whether my trailer would be ready for me today, then sped up exponentially when I learned it would be ready at noon! I was heading to the trailhead at about 10:30, but then my truck wouldn't start, with a dead battery. I realized I had left the interior light on overnight, and in their weakened state, my batteries died. My BeatIt charger wasn't enough to get it going, primarily because I had used it once before recently and I hadn't recharged it because all that was in the trailer, so I ended up having to wait to get it jumped. Finally got it going about 11:40, right after I got a call that my trailer was, in fact ready, but I went over to the trailhead first, because I wanted to do a quick runaround the paddock with my bushhog before I brought the horses over. Got that done, then headed straight to the repair place. Spent some time going over some things, then left paying a bill that I thought was more than reasonable. It took me almost an hour to get it into the site the way I wanted. Though I had put up little flags to create a line to follow, somehow I just couldn't seem to make it work, not sure why! Then I was getting stuck off the gravel, and had to maneuver around that. I'm definitely going to spread some of the gravel around to make a wider turn, since my truck has to get off the gravel to make the turn. Anyway, I finally got it in, unhooked, then headed back to the farm to pick up a load of stuff, then back to unload, then finally to pick up the horses, getting back just before sundown. Thank goodness the days are getting longer! I worked steadily to get them put away, fed, feed moved back into the trailer and hay underneath the gooseneck (though I only grabbed a bale and a half, I'll have to pick up the rest tomorrow), and managed to pretty much put everything away by 7:00. Finally made some shrimp ramen for dinner and settled down to dinner, so happy to be back in my comfortable recliner again! Made myself a cranberry/black cherry martini with dinner, followed by my mint Sleepytime tea and Lorna Doones, glad to be back on my usual routine! It was wonderful having someplace to stay while my trailer was being fixed, but it's even more wonderful coming home! Got my fireplace going (it's going down into the 30's tonight, so that baby is staying on all night!), and I'll soon be in the shower and then my own bed. Can't wait! Good night, my darlin'! Love you!
