Missed the Storm

Looks like we missed almost all of the storm that blew through. We only got a dusting of snow, and when I say dusting, I mean the only snow that's still around is what caught along the edge of the road and driveway. We missed out on most of the freezing rain as well. I wouldn't have minded a bit more moisture but glad we didn't get the brunt of the storm.

I was a bit worried that we would get the 8+ inches of snow yesterday. Only because I was down with some stomach bug. But like any rescue, when it's feeding time, you go out and care for the horses no matter what. Luckily by feeding time I was over most of the bug.

Hopefully this weekend we can continue to put the final preparations for our upcoming fundraiser. I would be nervous but I'm at such a state of chaos I'm not sure where or what to be freaking out about. We have exactly one week and one day before the big fundraiser. Unfortunately, I'm seeing a lot of activities planned for the same day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get a really good turnout. As far as I know, right now we have eight Easter baskets that will be auctioned off, along with a bunch of other items up for sale.

I'm sure as the day gets closer, I'll be in "go" mode frantically trying to get the finishing touches done on everything. Unfortunately I'm a Type A person and want everything to be perfect.

The horses will be happy when the fundraiser is over. I've put all my attention in to getting ready and I think some of them would prefer a good grooming rather than a quick pat and a hello. I'm really itching to get Bo under saddle. We did try him out awhile ago....a very long while ago. So I'm curious to see what he remembers. He knows a lot more than I do I bet!

I guess I'm just ready for better weather to get here. Spring always brings volatile weather, which is almost worse than a winter storm because it's so unpredictable. At least the spring storms don't last for very long but they do cause such havoc on everything. I'm ready to start tackling some major projects that we've had to put off for the past couple of years. I really want to start making our place look sharp, like it once was in its earlier years. I guess for now, I'll keep my attention on the fundraiser and just put one foot in front of the other to tackle all of the projects on my "to do" list.
