I mail the check tomorrow and bring her home in the next few weeks. There’s some legal paperwork and all that too.
A perfect day; I am nine years old and dreaming, I suspect. But if that is true, as Arwen tells Aragorn, “then it is a good dream.”
I am posting this from my phone in bed, unable to do anything as sensible as sleeping, and wanting to scream it from the rooftops.
Rocky and Salsa have moved temporarily to the front pen so their pen can be used for a guest. I’m still buried in the workalanche, with major projects due January 14 (today!), January 20, January 21, and January 27. Hence, February 1 for re-starting the Parelli program. But yesterday I took advantage of a canceled conference call to go outside and take some photos with my phone.
Click any of the photos to see them at full size.
This is Cotton, a polo pony who is here for a few weeks to study with Erin:
Cotton napping on the poncho
Note that Cotton took down the friendly-game poncho and ripped it to shreds before his nap. Here’s what it used to look like:

Rocky ambling to his new lodging with Leslie
I climbed up into the tree for these shots in the new pen:
