The farrier, Brad, came out to trim the horses' hooves today. Super sweet guy. Horses were nodding off with their chins aquiver (sure sign of contentment) while he worked on them. He's goood. Every 7-8 weeks.

Chuck drove up to tell me that he's invited an artist friend and his wife to dinner - here - on Thursday. And offered some suggestions for what to prepare. Should be fun, and reason to sweep chicken poop off porch and vacuum the house.
Today, otherwise:
Threw scratch for the chickens, replenished their protein feeder, cleaned water, fed cats, fed geese
Two days of yoga challenge in a row because anxious about goings-on at home that have thankfully been shelved
Mowed the lawn in a flat 75 minutes, including adding gas without spilling
Hung out with Randy, Willow, and horses while farrier worked on hooves (highlight)
Dropped trash in dumpster on way into town for calamine lotion (maybe 2 dozen itchy bites)
FINALLY had someone return my one-index-finger-lifted-from-steering-wheel gesture while passing on ranch road at 60 mph, learned from Chuck (bucket list) (timing is everything)
Got to town in 20 minutes because I'm finally confident enough to reach the speed limit
Stopped to feed goats and say hi to dogs. Dogs miss Katherine. Arms scratched from offering pets over fence. Will go down in long sleeves and jeans to say hi tomorrow.
Good FT with my lovely parents in their new home, equally happy commute-time phone call with Erin
Half-moon. Will be home hopefully in time for eclipse.
