I'm also sick - started out with a sudden fever on Wednesday while I was at work and I just knew... Woke up with a sinus headache, fever, and just an icky nose Thursday morning. I stuck it out and went to my lesson, had a very educational ride on Minnie, but came home feeling worse! This morning the sinus headache is behind my eyes, but fortunately the ibuprofen is making quick work! I made a 'clean out the fridge, pantry, spice cabinet, and hope that there is enough to make a warm soup' yesterday, and it turned out alright. A cross between chicken noodle (with no chicken), minestrone (with no beef), and vegetable soup (with limited vegetables).

I hope you feel better and get some rest @tempest. Not being able to sleep is the worst. Last week I took Thursday and Friday off of work, as I was up pretty much all night in bed, unable to fall asleep (even though I could hardly keep my eyes open reading my book). As soon as the sun came up and the pets were fed, I immediately fell asleep as soon as I laid down. It's frustrating! I'm also someone once I'm having a hard time getting asleep, I get frustrated, which makes it even harder to fall asleep!

Today is my Grandma's second birthday in Heaven today. These threads were my solace two years ago as the cancer was slowly taking her from us. I'm so glad these have continued - and helped us all in some way - helping get us through Covid lockdowns, family illness, horse misfortunes, all of it...

Our 40's weather turned back to 20's today, with blistering wind, a solid grey sky, and snow flurries...

Spring, please come quick! The daffodils in our yard are already coming up, you must be close...

This weeks weather forecast... Any predictions on how much deeper the 'almost going over the top of rubber muck boots' mud is going to get after another four days of rain?

If it wasn't such a large price jump to go from pasture board to stall board for a month, I think I'd have the horses brought in at night, just to have some time on dry ground. Plus, Minnie loves the stall and I think BO might have an issue convincing her it's time to return to the mud pit.
