Milford is a “horsey town” so it’s no surprise that the
server at our favorite breakfast spot also has horses. The usual chipper Lori
hardly could get a word out yesterday, but we learned that her allergies were
acting up because she had been cleaning her barn, getting rid of a winter’s
worth of dust and cobwebs.
Thanks for the reminder, Lori! JP had just finished the new
barn roof and started re-decorating and arranging the inside, so what better
time for me to bring out R2D2 (the shop vac)? I tackled cob webs and dust with
gusto, and as filthy and smelly I was at the end I was proud of my
accomplishment. Somehow it is way more satisfying for me to clean the barn than
the house. Hmm??
Last night only Teddy was at the door in time for dinner,
the others enjoyed the lush grass in the lower pasture. When my calls went
unanswered (highly unusual) I walked down to see them. That was enough for
Saumur and Chambord to kick up their heels and high tail it to dinner. Remy
surprised me: He stayed with me, I had my hand on his neck and we walked
companionable towards our respective dinners. JP watched us from the kitchen
window and we both were touched by that sweet moment. It doesn’t take ‘big
things’ to make us happy!
