early March spring rising

Spring madness. Basketball is coming but I am talking about a whirlwind visit by Sarah for her East Coast bridal shower. It was a wonderful few days and we packed lots of last minute wedding planning into it. Sunday night ended with a game of "fish bowl" enjoyed by all, sitting in the living room being silly. Lots of love and laughter,  just the perfect way to wrap up. Will had come home too. Love you all.  Sunday was a very rainy, warm but lots of rain and then Monday dawned with the green promise of spring around the corner. The willow tree had changed from bare branches to green overnight. Everyone noticed the peepers sound and the forsythia is dusted with yellow buds. The pregnant mare has been sent to foaling farm ( too close to Sarah's wedding to foal here), the other mares are due to ship to Kentucky in a week. I still go back and forth about breeding last mare in Maryland. I know stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Am I being stupid or being smart by breeding when everyone else has stopped? Wish I had a crystal ball. I will wait until after March 15-16 when Maryland legislature has to approve changes in racing/slot money allocation. If it isn't approved I may want to still wait. So sad that Maryland racing has declined to this point. NO support from Maryland lawmakers at all it seems.
