Comings and Goings








CB went away yesterday. 

He'll be back. 

He's over at my sisters' barn for a while, learning stuff like standing tied for more than 30 seconds and a host of general ground rules.

We don't have a very good facility for several aspects of basic training for a young horse, so CB will stay at their barn for a while where that can happen.

Lily was broken-hearted yesterday afternoon and this morning because her young friend (usually nuisance) did not return in the horse trailer with Lefty.

Lefty, who just went along as a calming factor for CB, doesn't seem to care. 

In other news, Annie will come home today for the Easter weekend.  

We're looking forward to picking her up at the airport tonight and having a solid few hours to hear her stories about her recent trip to Southeast Asia. 

Even though she embraced all sorts of Asian dishes during her travels, I'm bettin' Annie's looking forward to Second Avenue Pizza.

Meanwhile, on the going list, I'll be going away from this computer fairly soon to get to school. 

Debbie and I have been invited to tour the Waldorf School this morning.  

It's definitely an early start for this ol' retired gal, but knowing some of the Waldorf students and observing some of their school projects, I'm looking forward to seeing the school teaching philosophy in action.

Should be a fun and educational morning. 

On the "coming" side, I think our wizard at small engine repair will be here today.  

Tony will change oil in a lawnmower and our 4-wheeler UTV, along with giving us some estimates on fix-it jobs for the old Ford tractor.

I actually put one of the lawnmowers in to action last night, cleaning up all the dead oak leaves and other riffraff in the west lawn.  

It felt good to be atop a mower and even better when I could appreciate the clean-up job it did for the lawn. 

Lawns are still greening up and most of our yard is still a bit soggy (probably more so after today), but sooner than later, I'll be putting in my hours putzing around the yard.

Lots more goings and comings, but I'd better get going to the school house and then come back home to get ready to be gone again after that Annie who certainly lives the definition of going and coming. 

Happy Friday.
