Here I am saying hello to the donkeys this morning.

Athena and Thelonius, currently on guard duty in the duck pen, are always very glad to see me, in the hopes that breakfast will follow shortly...be sure to put on the sound!

In a change from my usual work routines, I'm scribing at the Region 1 Dressage Finals in Lexington, Virgina.

Heading home tomorrow, feeling as if I've had a vacation.

Today was a much needed farm and family day. Cleaned the barn, rode my horses, had dinner with my husband next to the river, and kept an eye on the new ducklings, which are being carefully supervised by our guardian donkey Thelonius.
Hope that you all have some time this weekend to touch grass.

In chaotic and disturbing times, a quiet morning in my office.
