Raining

[altivo]

Well, sorta. Dribbling is probably more like it. And cold. I wasn't expecting this sudden temperature drop, April or no. I went to work without a jacket. Things grew very slow and dead at work around 7 pm, a full hour before closing. I didn't realize that the weather had shifted so much, though, until it was time to close up and go home. Tomorrow morning should be quiet. In fact, I may be the only one there.

Home now, thank goodness, where the heating and cooling works properly and it isn't raining indoors at least.

That discussion in Hartree's LJ from yesterday continues to breathe, but not fire. All has remained very civilized throughout. We've ranged through many topics, all loosely connected (very loosely in some cases.)

Farrier came this morning to trim pony feet. Everyone behaved and he complimented their feet. Even Tess is in much better shape than she was a year or two ago. My excuse for not riding her is gone, and now I need to go through basic ground work with her before I'd even dare put a saddle on. I think it's been at least five years since I really rode her, what with the grass founder and then contracted heels and dry frogs.

With that, I think, off to bed perchance to dream...

It's been in the 30's when I arrive at work, so I look pretty foolish leaving at 1:00 with my winter coat in tow. This is the layering time of year, and I still find myself donning a sweater at the desk some mornings.

Glad the horses' feet are in good shape. May Tess react kindly to being saddled once again.

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing. So of course, yesterday I left the jacket home as it was 66F outside at noon. It was 40F and dropping when I left the library to go home. Had to turn the heat on in the car.

Tess is bored, and needs something to do. I'm lazy and need the exercise. Unfortunately, she can get pretty spirited at times, so I have to start up slowly and make sure she remembers the rules.
