altivoFirst of the garden today. We have spinach, mustard greens, and arugula that were started in a hot frame. The arugula is getting flower buds, so time to eat it. Fresh salad tonight.
Tess has started her spring acclimation to the new grass. Just 30 minutes a day for now. She's already getting used to the idea that she has to walk out there like a lady and not try to drag me by the lead rope. The first three times, she came right in even though it had only been a half hour. Today we entered the next phase, where she doesn't want to come back in. Unfortunately for her stubborn streak, though, I've learned her weakness. Twirl the loose end of the lead rope in the air a couple of times so it starts to hum and somehow she decides maybe to come along after all. I think she knows I wouldn't hit her with it after all these years, but it's a game we have to play for a few days.
Still battling the cold that started a week ago today. Thought it was weakening yesterday, then last night I was sure it was headed into bronchitis. However, at the moment it feels OK, so maybe that was a false alarm. *crosses hooves*
I'm usually bad about remembering birthdays, but because I got a couple of private messages today I was on the right page and saw these, two really good friends. So...
