Hello Summer!

It's 95 and climbing here in Wilton today.  Call me wimpy but I want a covered arena so I can ride year around WHENEVER I WANT TO!
We get soaked in the winter and scorched in the summer.  It's just inhumane to ranch in our climate.  Just think.....a ROOF to protect me from all of that. 
Yesterday I hung out under a big cottonwood tree out in one of the pastures.  It had to be 20 degrees cooler under it.  We always get the Delta breeze flowing across the ranch so that's a big plus.  And with cover and the breeze......well, I'd be lovin' life a lot more.
Oh well.........
On a positive note, I won a FIRST blue ribbon and a SECOND red ribbon at Horse Expo this year with my photography.  It was in the black and white division.  I'm so appreciative they like my images.
And I was blown away by the other artist's work.  AMAZING!
I'm already thinking about what I would like to enter next year.......altho I'm sure many images will come along before then and I'll have to change my mind many times.
It seems the EHV-1 is calming down and not spreading.  I HOPE!  Altho Bob and I got a human virus that knocked us on our butts!  Haven't been that sick in a looooong time.
I'll be learning Quick Books the rest of the week :(  But once I have it set up and I know what I'm doing I will heave a sigh of relief.  I've been avoiding it for months now. 
I'm procrastinating right now and need to make myself go to the Post Office.  Don't want to.  I might melt :)
