Hiya Babe,
Another chilly morning, then saddled up Flash and headed over to day parking to meet with Patsy and some of her friends. You would think by now that I would know better than to try to ride with that many other people, though I didn't know they were all coming. Since I didn't know which trails we were taking, we couldn't be out front, so it wasn't long before Flash was all anxious about being behind other horses, and I was having to struggle to keep him reined in. We hadn't gone more than five miles before I just had to let him loose. I was told we were going to follow the red trail the rest of the way in, so I did that for awhile, until it seemed to be going in the wrong direction, so I pulled out my phone GPS and rerouted us on another route that was more direct, though not on any marked trails, at least not until we got near the end. I got back to camp about 1:40, completing about 15.4 miles, and had just made myself of cup of tea when Patsy texted to say they were almost back to the trailers. I drove over to pick up a package I had had sent to her house, a new hose for the back of the truck, which I put in as soon as I got back, and used it to fill up the trailer tank. Settled down for the rest of the day, then remembered about a comet that was coming around for the first time in 80,000 years, so I bundled up and walked down to the lake to get a look. It brought back memories of our first real date, standing in line at the planetarium in WPB, waiting to view Halley's comet through their telescope, then giving up on it when it started to cloud over. Today, the sky was perfectly clear, but a full moon was rising, so it kind of washed out the sky a bit, but I did manage to see the tail fairly clearly. Started a new series on Prime, since apparently Season Four of Farscape is by additional subscription only. I may catch up on it someday when I have a good signal and a couple of rainy days to binge-watch, but the signal is too spotty and there's nothing but clear skies on the forecast, and tonight is supposed to be the coldest night of all, so naturally, I blanketed the horses again. Lola was in the dog house for climbing into my bedroom, twice, knocking over both the trash can and the fan to get in. I really need to find a way to stop her from doing that, it's driving me nuts. Fortunately, I was planning on changing the sheets tonight anyway, putting on my flannel ones for a change, which will put off having to do laundry for awhile. I ran the fireplace to warm it up in here for awhile, but I have a feeling the furnace will be coming on tonight, even though it's only set in the low 50's! Brrr! And Lola, in an obvious effort to suck up and get me over me being mad at her, climbed into my lap and is sleeping soundly, though I'm going to have to move here soon to get my tea going. Anyway, it's been a day! Good night, darlin'! Love you!
