I hope everyone had a great Easter; one that included Easter dinner with family and some Easter chocolate. Does anyone paint and hide actual hard boiled eggs anymore?

If anyone found themselves the recipient of too much chocolate...keep me in mind!

My day started with cleaning stalls as usual, followed by a lovely ride on Tango, and then a trip to pick up more hay. I had planned to ride another horse after unloading the hay....but I made the mistake of coming back to the house to empty the hay from my underwear and decided a nap was in order.

I also had a lovely turkey dinner with my parents and my brother. My dad is doing quite well, and is able to walk about the house without his walker, and is no longer on oxygen. He still lacks an immune system so is concerned about germs and snow mold, but that is understandable...so hopefully we have a good rain to wash away the snow mold soon!

It angers me somewhat that a doctor told him he only had 1-3 months to live, and I am glad he made the decision that there is always hope and didn't just give in to that fate. How many of us allow ourselves to be held back by what someone says, or by a perceived limitation of our situation?

(oh, and the new black/bay mare in the wood pen is Ebony, she is just here for some fine tuning! She is likely a draft cross, and reminds me of Magic- Debbie's other horse).
