Big noise, little rain

altivoIt didn't amount to more than splatters. And tonight at sunset the sky looked fit to dump a foot of snow on us. If the temperature were ten degrees lower, I'd be expecting it. It's hovering right around freezing though which is really too warm for any accumulation.
Full day back at work, full desk waiting for me. Got most of it cleared but I'm really tired now. I should take some of those extra vacation days ASAP. April means it's really time to start planting lettuce and peas, too.
Gary set up some agility/obedience jumps in the arena to work with Red. He was surprised (and so am I) to find that Tess took interest in the proceedings and seemed quite excited or else offended by it. She started stomping around and rearing up until he decided to quit working with the dog for now. We'll have to try it when I'm there to watch and possibly distract her. Tess is fairly well trained as a riding horse, but I've never been one for jumping. I wonder now if someone jumped with her in the past and this reminded her of it. We know she's not particularly bothered by the larger dogs. She doesn't like little noisy ones, though.
Gary also made sweet and sour cabbage soup for supper, which is always good. This time he used our home grown tomatoes from the freezer, and fresh lemon juice, so it was nice and tasty. Lots left over too, which is always a plus. We have room in the freezer for it.
Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to sleep the night through for the first time in almost a week. Certainly feels like it right now.
