Extreme Heat!

We're in another heat wave here. Today, with the heat index, it will feel like 110 degrees! And tomorrow it will be 115. It is also very humid out. Luckily it will be back in the 80's by Sunday. Pony gets the week off though. It rained on Monday and Tuesday, which were the two cooler days, and today and tomorrow it's going to be too hot to get ride. In fact the horses are going to spend today and tomorrow in their stalls with the lights off and the fans on (during the hot parts of the day at least.) It still manages to get down in the 70's at night time though.

Also the fair opens up this afternoon and lasts a little over a week, so I'll be going there a couple of times next week. I really wanted to go see 3 Days Grace in concert, but I don't really have the money. But, I'm still really looking forward to going there; I love going to the fair!

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!! Today was a pretty interesting day. During feeding time this morning we got a phone call that my, not yet two year old, cousin fell down some stairs and they were waiting for an ambulance. My sister went over to my Aunt's to watch the other kids while my mom and I finished up with the horses. Thankfully my cousin is ok. They kept her for a little while and did some tests, but, besides being banged up, she is seems fine.

I also rode Pony today for the first time in over a week. I'm still sick with a cold, but I'm feeling a whole lot better. We walked around bareback for a little while. It was pretty dusty though, so I was coughing a good bit. After we rode, I ate chicken cheese steaks with the family. I then went swimming with my dad and we watched some fireworks that some people down the rode were setting off. The horses handled the fireworks like a pro, they were pretty calm during the whole thing.
