Slow Starting

Monday, June 12, 2023

That’s my cute little Mitzvah exploring along the waterway and taking care that only her paws get wet. She tiptoes close to the water’s edge and drinks but otherwise stays a dry baby.

Yesterday, instead of walking dogs, I did a fence thing. That took hours during which I somehow avoided giving up and hiring someone else to handle the job. I managed to persevere and finally did cut, set, and mix concrete. Whereupon now stands a strong new post.

Ahead will be attaching the fence top rails and wire fabric. Those seem less daunting than first approaching the post-setting task. Of course, everything has a start, and now my future includes replacing other loose, worrisome posts. The objective of keeping horses safe means it’s critical to fix anything that’s even slightly out of repair. Horses are big animals, they’re hard on everything.

Today, I’m due to arrive at my part-time job by 10:30. It’s a luxurious late start and a one-off. My schedule after a couple of days off resumes those 6 a.m. entries. I must keep in mind that early to work equates to early leaving work.

Dear Friends: Out now, to feed horses and check the stability of that post. Diana
