Drying out
May. 18th, 2009 09:45 pmIt actually seems to be happening. Of course there could still be rain several different times this week, but today there was a steady dry wind blowing all day and a lot of mud and water has essentially disappeared.
Uneventful day that both was too long and didn't have enough hours, depending on what was happening at the time. At least nothing bad happened.
Some little progress on a small programming exercise. Spared cooking tonight by all the leftovers from the weekend. Won't have to do much cooking tomorrow or W-day either. Yay.
No hazelnuts in the coffee at work either because I made it. Another small triumph.
Wind gusts hard enough that small birds such as chipping sparrows were observed flying sideways this afternoon. They didn't seem too put out about it, but sure looked strange.
Chip in Tess's forehoof isn't as bad as I'd feared and appears to be stable, so the moisturizing plan continues. (Though the pasture is now drying out, so the method will be less effective.) The bright side of that is that the lush growth of new grass should taper off, so she can be out there longer each day. She likes that, and it certainly improves her disposition. In fact, she becomes downright affectionate.
