dancing_crowApparently there is a Storm of Biblical Proportions headed our way. The colleges are letting out, it took an hour for poor Al to get home over what is usually 20 minutes, and the kids are running home before the storm. Alice is sick on the couch, not puking thank goodness, but fevery and pale and watching the tv of her youth: Little Bear, Blue's Clues and Arthur. Aerin says Little Bear takes more intellect to watch than the Avengers. Her argument is that you need to hear the music in Little Bear, and all you need for the Avengers is to see and remember the face of the bad guy.
If I didn't have to take Aerin to Brattleboro tomorrow, I'd be delighted. I almost left her there - with her teacher - tonight to keep from having to take her up tomorrow. If they cancel school for tomorrow, which they probably will because some schools are already precanceled, I'll run her up in the morning and fetch her back on Saturday when we go up to see her in action.
I did ride the red horse yesterday for a quick 20 minutes of edge removal. Her owner has lessons on Wednesday evenings, and their lesson last week was scary for Leonor; the horse was tight and wound in a way that made her very nervous. I thought if I could give her 20 minutes of trotting and walking and stretching that she'd be in a better place when the lesson came around. I haven't heard how it worked yet. I was dreading the trip to the barn, and the tacking up, and the riding, and it all went fine. I wish I knew why I felt so resistant about going to th barn when it is almost always a good thing to have gone. You'd think it was a chore, instead of something I say I love to do.
