I love early April mornings. It rained last night and when I opened the door to let dogs out, there was a cool mist shrouding all the spring beauty. My pink cherry tree is just past peak and starting to rain pink petals, the magnolia beside it, is just coming into a beautiful white bloom, the rose bushes between are just opening first red buds. The colors were soften by the mist and the birds were just starting. So perfect. We have counted our Roedown recepits and we had a great day. We were so lucky with a lovely weather day, yesterday was rainy and cold and you realize it is just luck when it all converges and gives you a perfect day for an event like that. The new colt is doing well. I will post pictures but I have to go buy new camera! I have a 2 week break before next. It is so nice to sleep thru the night. Now , I am starting to handle, groom and exercise the yearlings. This is how the prep for the yearling show and later the sales starts. First they learn to stand for grooming, sixteen million broken cross-ties later they've got it. Then a bath! OH boy, that is sooo scary. We do a little each day. Then walking in the ring- yesterday we looked ! at the ring, that was enough. Their hearts are tripping a mile a minute, but by August they will be great.
