Hey Babe!
Well, we did finally have a LITTLE bit of rain, but nothing like was forecast, and it didn’t last too long. But the temps did drop quite a bit, so it was a much more comfortable night, so I slept well once I got to sleep. Woke up earlier, which is a good thing, and got busy with chores and breakfast. It wasn’t long before I was saddling up Apollo and heading out. I had to come back once, though, I forgot my water, and I also forgot I had taken some of the padding off my saddle to let Jeff use last week, so I put that back on as well. Glad I did, since just the sheepskin cover wasn’t really enough. Headed out at a slug’s pace, as usual, so I knew it would be a long day. We were out just after 9:00, because it was supposed to start raining by around 11:00, though I figured it would be later. Surprise, surprise, it’s almost 10:00 pm right now and we still haven’t got a drop a rain today, despite the dire forecast. Glad it was cloudy, though, and cooler, so it was a nice ride. Apollo did pretty well mostly, with a little stubbornness occasionally, but not too bad. Just really slow, so glad I wasn’t in too much of a hurry. We did our last “colored” horse trail today, so other than firebreaks, I’ve pretty much got everything I need to put this map together. Will be glad when it’s done, at least this rendition, though I expect it will change in the future. Once we got back (Lola came with me today since it wasn’t too hot) and Apollo put away, I did a few other chores, spent several hours map-making on the computer, made satin balls for Lola and some chaney root tea for me. Eventually settled down for the evening, grilled a nice bacon wrapped filet mignon on the grill, watched a few more Heartland episodes, now I’m ready for shower and bed. Good night, sweetie! Love you!
