Tree trimming
And just one more today, lest you think i'm a total slacker. I trimmed a few branches from our trees that hadn't been pruned in forever. Just, you know, one or two little twigs... ;)
Also, in pony land, Trisha has started teaching us passade turns, which are used to teach collected canter, which is the prelude to flying changes and canter pirouettes. Trinket has decided she loves it so much she doesn't want to do anything else. I think she's just so delighted that I'm asking her to do something she's good at (as opposed to stretching, say, which she detests) that she just can't get enough of it!
And Chapter Five page proofs are done, and I've seen the cover of the book. That made the finish line seem right around the corner!
We had people come and put new gutters on (squirrelly had drilled holes in the old ones---Squirrelly!!) aside from putting the gutters on the garage backward (so they drained into the barn, rather than the driveway---I caught it early, so they fixed it), they did a terrific job. But then they left a gap in the fence. So multiple times today, I found my dogs outside the gate, with no idea how they got there! Silly gutter guys. Always close up a fence if you have to open it! That's the first rule of fences!
Tonight I get to watch some ridiculous sic-fi film about Venus, so I can be the expert commentary when they play it on tv---FUN!! The things I get to do... Who'd a thunk it?
