We woke up to the second morning in a week that was rain overnight rather than the originally predicted snow. Given how reluctant winter has been to let go this year, that passes for a real spring day.
It's another grey day for the horses, with half a day in due to the rain. The warmer temperatures are welcome. While we have a few good days, they have been in the minority so far in this cold and grey spring. The horses will likely all end up with mud-cakes blankets and necks by day's end from rolling. They still have much of their winter coat, and some even have distinct beards of long hairs flowing from their jowls and chins. Even with the blankets, the mud still finds quite a bit of horse to which it can attach.
The pops orchestra has a performance tonight at an independent living facility (seniors), a trial run of the program for our annual fundraising dinner and performance. The program includes excerpts from major operas. The dark tones of Wagner are apt for a grey day.
