Sunday, November 8, 2026 – Ride and Packing Day

Hi Sweetie,
Got to bed later than I wanted, and still woke up a bit early. I overexerted the batteries yesterday, so when my furnace kicked in this morning, it was struggling a bit, so I had to get up early and get the generator going. I had breakfast before doing chores, then eventually I went out to do my horse chores. Got a few things done in the morning, then saddled up Flash for our last ride here. I love the trails here, and I'm sad that I only got three rides here in two weeks, but it was a necessary sacrifice for what I got accomplished. Our ride was lovely, the temps were perfect once it warmed up a bit, and even though this fall has been rather lackluster because of the ongoing drought, it was a beautiful day, and the views were improving because of the loss the leaves. We went nearly nine miles in absolutely beautiful conditions, and if I hadn't had so many other things to do today, I would have made it longer. But I did, so when I got back, after putting Flash away, I did a bunch of things. I started packing up some stuff, then I got to work on Apollo's feed bag. I have repaired this thing so many times, sewing in new bottoms where he chews through it until the feed falls out, but I bought some real leather in a sheet, and cleaned all the old stuff out and started sewing in a new leather bottom. Unfortunately I ran out of time to finish is, and did some more packing a feeding before it got dark. No worries, I figure I'll have time to finish it tomorrow, hopefully, and I won't need it tomorrow since the horses will get their feed in the camper in the morning. Hopefully, anyway! Got most stuff packed up, though I'll have to take the fence down tomorrow, but it's only a three hour drive, so I should be good. I put their blankets on again since it's supposed to be around 40, not too bad but enough to be concerned about. Finally settled down for the evening, a bit more tired than I had hoped for today, but I'm really heading to bed early (hopefully!), and don't have plans to get up too early in the morning, so good night, my darling! Love you!
