Just got back from a very busy week in California. Just have a short week left here in Idaho. I'm not going to get much sleep, but that's okay. The end goal is extremely motivating! The picture above was taken by my brother on a hike he took, last week.
Thanks to a full day of work from a six-pack of friends/family, Ber and Gio have a Beautiful pasture within hearing distance of the buoys off Trinidad Head, and a view of Trinidad when the fog lifts. The ponies ship down next week, and I can't wait to see what they think of the belly-high grass! I put in a smaller paddock so I can regulate their grass intake for a while.
Good thing, because when I saw them this evening, my jaw dropped. The guy who was taking care of them decided they needed alfalfa to supplement their grass hay, and that they needed to be fed twice a day. I left pretty fit horses a week ago, but now they have this thick layer of padding everywhere! As my friend said, they will drop some weight on the haul down. Pretty funny, though. He thinks my grass hay is junk, evidently! lol.
Thanks to my brother's help, almost all of my belongings are now in California, unloaded and in my new home. OH!!! My new home is lovely. I so, so lucked out. Going to take me a while to get things set up, but I couldn't ask for a nicer place. Skylights throughout leave the most luminous light, and I can see stars at night!
I have a delightful neighbor dog who comes to visit. Her owners are pretty neat people, too. They are my landlords.
It was extremely hard to drive back up to Idaho for this week, because I felt so "at home" back home. And here it is, three days before the horse hauler arrives. I have a riding lesson tomorrow, I donated my almost new fridge to the Boy's and Girl's Club, and donated my dryer to the Rescue Mission. After nearly 2 months trying to sell them on Craig's List, I had to just get them gone. Who knew fridges were so hard to sell? I have the last three interviews for my dissertation tomorrow, too!
I wake up here, and look for the light from the skylights. And that was after six nights sleeping in my new home. That's how deep my roots sank there. Home.
So, I leave you with a few pictures of Ber and Gio's new home. I'm standing outside of their pasture, looking towards their pasture. Can't wait for Marsha (Marsha's Equine Transport) to arrive to take them home, too!
The trees are the border. Looking to the left...
Looking straight ahead...
Looking to the right. You can see the ocean and Trinidad through that gap.
