Today was quite possibly the most beautiful day of the year. I don't think the temperature got above 75 degrees, and it was sunny and NOT humid and with a gentle breeze and a blue sky and puffy white clouds...ooooooooooh...just wonderful!!!!

I had a great ride on my little pony this morning, but we think my other pony got stung by a yellow jacket. :( She came in from the pasture and stood there holding up her right front. At first we thought it was puffy in the forearm, but now we see that her knee is a little puffy. We have been cold hosing, and I probably should have given her some banamine, but I hate to do that with her past stomach issues. I will give her some tomorrow if it is still swollen.

She can bear weight on it, and she walks fine, but she favors it a little bit at the trot, and sometimes when she turns, you can see her favor it. When she first came in from the pasture, she looked so sad, but now she has perked up, and she is eating just fine and is normal with everything else.

And when I went to mow the pasture, I found a GIANT YELLOW JACKET NEST!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Luckily I did not get stung, but unfortunately, my poor pony must have stumbled upon it, too. We have sprayed some yellow jacket killer spray...I hate to use toxic chemicals, but this nest was REALLY BAD. We are going to check it again tomorrow. If anybody has any great tips for getting rid of yellow jackets, please let me know!

Tomorrow's weather forecast is not supposed to be as nice, but I'm just glad it's still the weekend. If it rains, I'll use the day to get some stuff done inside. Little by little, I am working on cleaning my room...I try to do a little bit each night (inbetween blogging and Internet surfing!). I just have so much stuff, and I really need to get rid of some of it and de-clutter, but it is so hard to find the time, not to mention the motivation. Plus I have a lot of stuff that I just can't bear to part with! :D

So off I go to tackle tonight's cleaning session! Better get a move on before I lose my motivation. :D
