Mostly a Photo Dump

Well, things haven't slowed down at all the last two days.

On Tuesday, Tor came down for the day. She was on her spring day and it had been too long since we saw her. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and Erin had mentioned that she was bored so we invited her to join us as well. The four of us went over to the barn for an afternoon full of riding. I started off by getting on the pony. He didn't even TRY to be bad. Good man. Then Tor rode Ozzy and Art. Oz was goofy, but good. Tor had a blast galloping him in the back field. Art was a rock star and seemed to appreciate being ridden by an experienced rider for a change. In the mean time, Erin was playing with Herbie and Mike was being manly and splitting wood by hand.

Yesterday after the funeral and nap, Erin called to ask if we wanted to join her and Willie at the Assunpink. It sounded like a brilliant end to a depressing day so we grabbed the dog and battled traffic down to the park. We took our time making our way to the lake. Everything is finally starting to bud and get green, and with peepers echoing in the reeds, it really felt like spring. Erin took turns riding and hand walking Willie and Herbie bounded along, thrilled with life. After playing in the lake for a while, we made our way back at sunset and I finally got to take the photo I've been wanting to take since the first time Erin and I rode at the Assunpink.

Can you tell she grew up riding with me?

Sexy :-P

Aww, peanut roller!

Woman, where the hell did your leg go?

Signs of spring.

Dirty dog!

Herbie had a fly on her.
