Wow, this was a long week...I thought Friday would never get here! Ha ha, well, the week WAS an hour longer. :D Daylight savings always messes up my internal clock...not to mention the weather was cloudy, gloomy, and rainy all week, and we had a big election that the whole world was watching and waiting for!

The darkness after I get out of work is already starting to bother me, and it's not anywhere close to the darkest day of the year. I'm doing barn chores blindly now (no electricity in the barn...just lantern light!), and the run-in shed was a BIG MESS this week due to the horses standing in there more than usual due to rain. I'm hoping things will dry out this weekend.

I'd like to try to ride my little pony, too! I haven't ridden in several weeks, as the weekends are my only time now, and if the weather is bad, well, that plan goes out the window. And we don't ride during the winter here (too cold, too snowy, too icy!), so I'd like to get a few more rides in before then!

I also need to straighten up the hay barn so that we have room for another load of hay soon. How I wish the bales were bigger...I am paying a lot of money for very small bales. It is good hay, though, so I'm happy...I just wish there was more of it! :D
