Spring is warming my soul!

Everyone needs to have that place they can go to relieve stress, to relax, to enjoy themselves in something they love. Here's my escape:


Today it was 68 degrees and sunny. I spent the late afternoon cleaning stalls and working with my yearling "Corky".

Yippeee.....it's spring!

Everyone's feeling spring fever.

The grass is just starting to turn green again. We are having a late spring since March was SO incredibly cold. Just seeing the sunshine and the greenery makes me feel happy inside.

SIGNS OF SPRING:

• The grass turns green
• You can drive with your window cranked down a little bit
• You leave the barn covered in horse hair from shedding equines
• You develop strong arm and back muscles from pushing the wheelbarrow through a foot of wet mud
• Television becomes boring
• You suddenly develop the urge to wax your truck
• You're itching to start up the lawnmower just to hear the sound
• Students are VERY restless and impatient in school, and you must perform a circus act to keep them on task
• You go broke making futurity payments for the fall's big shows
• 'Diet panic' sets in - you know the feeling that you thought you had plenty of time to lose those extra pounds before shorts weather?
• We are all much more patient with each other at home
• The sunshine zaps your memory, and you forget lots of little details that you need to keep track of on a day to day basis
• You have a million piles of clothing sitting out because it's warm enough some days for summery things but not yet warm enough to pack up all your winter clothes
