Sunny Days

Aiken is truly a lovely place to be as spring comes upon us. The sun is out almost everyday, and all the little birds, squirrels and other assorted creatures are bustling about. I saw a huge flock of wild turkeys, a fox, and some beautiful ducks with coloring like I have never seen.

The horses are loving it too, as evidenced by the photos of Leggs and Goodman basking in the sun. They have become fast friends as they share their fence line, and hang out together all day in one corner of the pasture, making Z very jealous. This was an unusual sight, to see both horses laying down in the middle of the day for a little nap.

As things begin to wind down, it is hard to reconcile going back to snow and cold. This week will bring one more cross country school and then we are homeward bound on Thursday. It is amazing how fast a month can just fly by. Where does the time go?

On a side note, thank you to all of our friends who have shown soooo much support and love in the last few days as we await word from my sister Mary who was in Chile during the earthquake. She is suppposedly safe, far south from the epicenter, but we cant wait to actualy hear her voice to know that she is alright. Best wishes to all!
