we're under this
still snowy, still cold, but so much easier to cope with when one has light, heat and internets

Got up to the barn today and poor Image was sick - high temp, lassitude, grouchy... J had administered Banamine and the vet said antibiotics. I fed him a handful of carrot bites, mixing in the antacids he gets, and left him alone. There was a LOT of tooth grinding and tail swishing. Poor Immy. I am feeling slightly guilty (did riding him too hard make him sick?) and really bummed - he was so great yesterday in the clinic with Verne Batchelder (although I admit Verne did stand ready with a Very Long Whip to tap on his hocks as necessary) I was looking forward to a ride, trying to get some of that feeling back.

I hope he feels better soon, poor old gent.

So I thought about what I should do in November, and I think it is the sketchbook I acquired long ago and have done nearlynothing with since it arrived. If I really pay attention in November, and do nothing else (well, maybe some knitting....) it will be done. I wrote more about it at the real blogge.
