Not too sore

altivoMuch to my surprise, I don't feel as stiff today as I had expected to be. We had a bright sunny morning, what I would have liked yesterday instead of the gray skies and drippy weather.
As if I didn't have enough bird-counting yesterday, we counted 21 species in our back yard during breakfast this morning. When I went out to feed horses and sheep, I took Tess back to her pasture for an hour and spotted an Eastern Bluebird in the pear tree out there. First bluebird this year on our land. I'm not sure I saw one all last year.
This afternoon we (Gary actually, I was just moral support) took down a small tree that was leaning on the pasture fence and stretching the lines. This started about two years ago, but we were afraid to mess with it for fear of getting hurt. After the thaw this year, it tilted even farther so it had to be taken care of. Fortunately, the added tilt made the job much less risky and it only took about 10 minutes to cut it up and get it out of the way. The tree was a box elder, about 24 feet tall and five inches in diameter at the base.
Today was also newsletter day, and I have just finished preparing and publishing the spinning guild newsletter. Enough for one day, I think.
