- There is no snow.
- Copper is not wearing a blanket anymore (and she is so white!!!)
- Phoenix is spending a huge amount of time sprawled on the warm ground, or rolling, or any other form of relaxation.
- Tumbleweeds and tornadoes of horse hair.
- There is a slight, cautiously optimistic green starting to poke through the ground.
- Parker is bored and harassing the other two.
- Evening chores happen while there is still daylight left.
- Every time I walk out the door, I smell melted manure.
- Baby goat kids!

Mildred gave birth to three (!!!) healthy perfect babies on Easter weekend. Two girls and a boy.
A couple days later, Lucy surprised everybody with her one little girl kid. It's like a goat maternity ward in the barn these days. Wow.
I am starting to think about getting back to work, and I miss all my riders, but my recovery is still going way slower than I'd like. Generally I'm feeling much better, but I struggle with fatigue and weakness. I'm getting help and working with my doctor to find the right medication. I may not feel ready to start up lessons again, BUT I am getting out to the barn twice a day, enjoying spending time with my horses, and even taking my dog out for walks around the yard. That is all improvement.
If you would like to brave the mucky barnyard and my dirty hairy horses, we are up for visits - just contact me.
