Holiday

 June seems to fly by!  Probably because I so look forward to the hot humid days of summer and am happy when they finally arrive.  Such a pleasure to head out without a jacket!  I met with two friends yesterday for dinner and we talked about our holiday plans.  No work today, no babysitting!  I am free to do what I want!  This kind of day comes once in a blue moon! So I got up late this morning, watered my flowerbeds, made an omelette, checked facebook and a blog that I am following and now am writing this blog.  Later, if it is cool enough I will walk the dogs.  Pudge is a pug/beagle with a squished nose so I carry water and walk when it is cool. Otherwise he chugs like a freight train with his rib cage moving heavily.  Pudge and Maui, along with me, are on diets.  Maui is a mini dachsund with a long back and sausaged up when I fed our humungous cat in the dark of night.  I hope to drive out to the farm and work with my mini horse.  I drove out Tuesday morning into a fierce looking storm.  I don't know if she was afraid but when I let her loose in the arena she ran around like a wild thing.  My teacher and I are trying to desensitize her to a driving bridle and harness so that she can pull a cart.  I wasn't holding her securely enough and she took off and ran around the arena for 5 minutes before my teacher could catch her.  I've never shown a mini horse and she has never shown so the show on July 14 will be most interesting.  (The May 5 show was canceled because the grounds were saturated and boggy.)  I hope to show her in halter class, trail class, hurdles and possibly barrel racing. I hear my new wind chimes.  I got them from my children because yesterday was my dad's 93rd birthday in Heaven.  My dad's house is sold, I am almost done executing is estate.  I am so not motivated to put away the twenty or so items I brought from my Dad's house.
