Social Distancing Ahorseback
Yay! We got to ride again today. Lots of green grass to munch and the dogs are tape free--the horses and girls think it just doesn't get any better than that! We had the mountain to ourselves--that is if you don't count the woodpeckers and birds. We heard turkeys, but didn't see them. No turtles; the sun wasn't shining on their log, so it was probably too early and cool for them.
It is still a little slick and wet in places, so we stayed to the south and rode to the turtle pond and then Deadwood Ridge backward. I think there may have been a few more downed trees along the way and more branches on the ground, but nothing that caused us to miss a beat.
When we got home, we stood on the hill behind the hitching post and let the horses eat grass. (Beats weed eating, Lynn said!) Lynn went after Star, so he joined us. Earlier this morning, the silly thing herded Buster all the way up to the water tank so Lynn couldn't catch him. Guess he wanted some company. Either that or he was jealous that he couldn't go and Buster was getting to!
April is turning out to be pretty good weather-wise; although, we are still wearing our chinks! Tomorrow is Easter and as I remember it, last year it was doggone cold and deary at sunrise services.
Easter blessings on us all. May our world recover and heal as we welcome in a new religious year.
