Finally, finally, FINALLY I got out to the barn again. I went to school early this morning and worked late, too, but I did not care how tired I was, I wanted to see my girl.
I was wearing a dress and sandals, but I headed across the northeast pasture in search of the herd anyway. I found them in the old barn.
Abby was delighted to see me and came out as soon as she realized I was there. I'd brought her an apple from my lunch and, of course, peppermints!
"Hey, Mom, would you PLEASE unwrap the peppermints before calling me up? I HATE waiting!"
The entire herd came out of the barn to visit, but since I only give Abby treats, they didn't linger long and headed out into the west pasture. Abby stuck around until I was ready to go home, and then she galloped off to rejoin her friends.
It felt so good to let the stress of the day melt away as I mingled with the horses.
