Even though it was very windy most of the day, the sunshine was lovely.
In the morning I did chores and split all the logs. Got them all stacked on the deck.
I noticed that the snow melted off the white shelter. Good because it's a lot of weight. It just slides off when it gets warm and at the sides there is a lot of snow now.
The cats were out a lot. Taz climbed up to the roof of the truck, enjoying the sunshine.
In the afternoon the temperature in the sun got to 21C. So nice!
I worked with the horses again.
I am teaching them both to open their mouth on cue. It will come in handy if they ever need a vet to check their mouth. They both are doing great for this. They curl up their lips but Flicka got to the next step already, which is open the mouth and upper and lower teeth not touching .
I also worked with Flicka on stepping towards me sideways. When I started with that I stood in front of her and tbat didn't work. This time I stood on her left side and that worked much better. Within seconds she would lean towards my hand with her cheek to touch my hand tbst i help next to her cheek. Smart girl.
I do some light meditation in the morning with the horses too. After feeding I just sit for a while. I don't ask them to join me at the fence but there's always one of them that stays with me. Yesterday Freya stayed. She soon was dozing off!
Today Flicka stayed and gave me soft kisses with her nose. After a few minutes she just stood still, her head a little down. Totally relaxed.
So nice to start the day with quiet and stillness with horses. Good for mind and body. :)
The sunset was very beautiful and a joy to watch.
I just love pre-spring!
