Spring Comes to Life!

Well it's been a while since I've updated this. I know, I'm bad. But we've been quite busy here on the farm, to be fair. :)

It's been so beautiful to watch the trees burst with leaves and blossoms this spring. The grass is growing, the birds are singing, and the farm is starting to look pretty good!

Since last I wrote I celebrated a big birthday - 30. That one was tough. Until I saw all my old friends and realized: They're all in the same club, and we don't look a day older than we did 10 years ago! I'd actually go so far as to say we look better! Yay!

For this momentous occasion, I was given a pygmy goat. His name is Thomas, and after an eventful couple of weeks he's finally starting to settle in. He's also decided that we are not fire breathing monsters, so that's nice too.

Meet Thomas!

I haven't had as much time to ride as I would have liked - getting ready for lessons to start and such - but I do have my first ride this weekend. It's nothing major. 6 miles in Finch. I'm going to take it easy due to lack of training and of course my darned back.

We'll just have to see how things go! I'm itchin to get my feet wet and see what I'm up against in competition.

As for lessons, our first weekend passed with great success! We had four lessons. Thanks for coming out Courtney, Stacey, Madison and Olivia! You all did great!

My lesson field. I set up different obstacle courses for the kids to maneuver around.

I am also starting Yoga this week. I'm really excited about this new adventure! I'm also hoping it will help with my fitness and strengthen my core to decrease my back issues. At the very least it will be a nice time to relax and enjoy life with my two good friends Lorrah and Mel. :)

As you can see, things are picking up for me with the warm weather. All I need to worry about is taking care of my brood, enjoying the sunshine, being healthy, and taking time to RIDE!

I'll let you know how this weekend goes!

Ciao for now!
