Taking a Day Off

We decided to take today off. It was great. The only things that had to be done were minimal chores. Of course, not paying attention to the weather sort of caught me off guard. I had a voice in the back of my mind reminding me of the inpending weather but I didn't pay attention to it.

This afternoon the wind picked up and started tossing the snow around. Of course, any bit of wind and the snow becomes horizontal. I was surprised but I guess I should know better.


I need to get back in to the swing of paying more attention to the weather. The horses are starting to get grumpy with me.

But on the bright side, staying in the house gave Trouble a bit more lap time. Mike and I decided we'd take the day off (except for morning and evening chores) to watch the Daytona 500. Of course it was more of an opportunity to catch up on some well needed rest.

I'm still trying to relax even though there's some seriously tough wind out there right now. I'm still trying to get Brego to the trainers. But I'm now hesitant to send him away until he has more weight on him. I've been lax with my worming schedule and apparently Brego is full of worms. He came to me full of worms and I thought I had it under control. Apparently I'm going to have to do better about keeping him on a very tight worming schedule from now on.

I'll be glad when it's summer again. I'm sure I'll be grumbling about flies, mosquitoes, and the heat when the time arrives. Until then I guess I'll just talk about the weather. Not much more to report since it was our day off. :-) Tomorrow will be another story.
