I lost yesterday. My plans for the day got flipped around and went topsy turvy, but in a good way.
On the docket was spending a short while at the barn in the morning while out of town friends stopped by to see the horses, and then a late afternoon wedding.
Easy peasy, lots of time to get other things done, right? Well... can you hear me laughing about that assumption?
I am an early morning riser, but not necessarily an early-morning-get-dressed-for-the-day girl. Luckily, yesterday I was.
Those friends coming through town were early and I had to rush to the barn - I hadn't even started writing the day's blog post. (In their defense, they had said they'd be here early; I just did not realize that they meant quite that early.)
Lydia appears to be a true horse girl.
We spent time in the pasture with the horses, then went into the barn to see Tim's horse drawn vehicle collection. And we came back outside,
Abby loves people and will tag along and follow me wherever I go.
So she stayed by Lydia's side, and Lydia was thrilled! Abby even put her ears back a few times when the other horses tried to encroach on her time with Lydia.
There were a few moments when Abby began falling asleep, she was so relaxed and happy!
Special moments with horses are precious, and Lydia was certainly having one of those. I could not bear to break that up, so I quit worrying about having time to shower and prepare for the wedding (it was out of town so there was a bit of a drive involved) and just let her have her moment.
Two hours later, Lydia and her parents were on their way home, Abby was a puddle of relaxation, and I was hustling home to hop in the shower and change clothes.
We made the wedding with time to spare
and I had a wonderful reunion with several former students on a very special day for one of them.
More on that to come. Stay 'tooned!
