Currently, things are just going swimmingly on all fronts of my life.
Horses: to be discussed first because they are most consuming and all important. A few weeks ago I went to my FIRST dressage show, if you can believe it. Besides all the little events /!; dressage rally at Pony Club, I have never really ridden in a dressage how. How embarrassing, yes. If I ever become a total Dressage Queen, I am going to pretend I didn't know anything until now, ha! Either way, Bindi was a STAR and got a first and a second place in two different tests. We only it second because she decided a puttering moped going down the road behind her warranted a canter/leap/fling across the diagonal rather than a trot. Oh well, she was awesome! I also got to ride the driving pony Aly in Training test 3, and First Level test 1. We got two firsts and the highest score of the show. Not bad for my first show eh? But seriously, I watched my videos with Chris and wooooooaah nelly bell, I have got a lot of work ahead of me this winter. Also, it is about time to sell the Bindles, so pictures and videos are in the works, coming soon.
Uhhhh, what other fronts are there to my life again?
I DO have a great friend who is willing to drive a truck and trailer to Utah this weekend to pick up my little guy Gilbert. Dad is saying, "I am really going to miss this horse. I even want to hug him! Is this how you feel about your horses?" Yes Dad, that is a tiny taste of the disease I have been struck with since birth. Wanting to hug horse.
Winter is quickly approaching and with it means lots of prep for the snowed in period of the year. We had a big gathering of folks and closed the townsite for the winter. That means putting away items that can freeze or be eaten by critters, and boarding up the widows. And of course, a mountain of scones was prepared along with at least ten crock pots of different soups. Yes, we do things right around here. The pictures of the embroidery are from a quilt that is over a hundred years old! Totally fashionable though and could be sold in Anthropologie I am sure (for hundreds of dollars).
The people out here are really just incredible, incredibly funny, and really just funny. Oh! I have a friend who has been teaching me how to fly fish! Totally. Awesome. We caught a big beautiful rainbow trout the other night and cooked it up with lemons, butter, and peppers. Amazing. Loving life yet again and can't wait to see the fam this weekend!
