Well, fall came for  a few days, anyway, it got below 32, there was ice, frozen ground and frost, today is windy and warm, and I know I should be doing yard prep, and dragging out winter water heaters and extension cords,  instead I am exhausted by the leak in my hayloft raining down into my tack room.  So far even after a foray onto the roof I haven’t found where the leak is coming in from.  My son and I did locate one suspect spot, and covered it with a tarp, but still after last nights rain there is more water coming thru my ceiling.   My lessons have slowed, my top two students, my most advanced, have been slowly drifting away and back, I am trying to re-label myself, Sparkle has gone out on trial, I hope they like her, she is bored beyond belief here with me, my other horses don’t care quite so much, but Sparkle does.. My ankle is still so sore, its been more than 5 months now.  The pain affects how much I have the energy to do, my eyes take in all that is undone, and all there is to do, sometimes I have the energy, and then I don’t. Today I have to go and clean up my tack room, I think I may just have to throw things away. This has certainly been an off season.  Soon snow will cover the flaws, and I can rest for the winter.  A friend of mine has a great belief in vision boards.  I am going to try one, although my only vision is when I can climb back into bed.
