I'm never going to complain about having another day at home to get some things done. Today it is even more welcome as I'm in the middle of wedding planning and also doing some remodeling of things in the house to make room for a certain handsome young man that will be living in the same house after our wedding ;-)
In preparation for this summer, we have been doing a lot of work on our garden. Since the weather has basically been below freezing at least once every week for the past 3 weeks we haven't planted much.
However, we have planted our strawberries, asparagus, potatoes and onions. The soil at my place is a little out of whack, so we are trying to get certain types of fertilizer into the soil so the garden can be more productive.

Dad help me spread it out in the strawberry bed.
But while we are waiting, our ranch has a welcome addition. Meet Blaze!
I'm pretty excited about her. I haven't ridden horses much lately even though I grew up riding. I've ridden maybe 3 or 4 times in the past 5-10 years. We just don't have a good one to ride. I think that has finally changed! I like very calm, very gentle horses and I think she is going to fit the bill. Because of my schedule and the weather, I've only been able to ride her once. She is a fast walker and was very distracted with the scenery so I had problems getting her to steer straight ;-) She is extremely gentle though and I'm having a lot of fun just being able to walk out and pet her. She almost fell asleep the other day when I was petting her.
She's a beautiful horse and we're pretty happy we got her. So I'll let you feast your eyes on her to finish out my blog this time.
