Strange Weekend

A good friend of mine died on Saturday. The second death since Thanksgiving. His funeral is today. The farrier is coming tonight as well. I tried to reschedule — the earliest appointment would be at the end of December. The horses can’t afford to go that long, not with Isis back in work. She needs her Easy Walkers and aluminum back shoes back on instead of the steel front shoes she has on now.

So tonight I go to meet the farrier and send flowers. The funeral is in Asheville, about a 2 hour drive away. (sigh) It’s just been one of those weeks.
