way too early for the top one
and still a little early for the bottom one

Cora had an early morning hoof trim
she behaved nicely today

there are zillions of robins around lately
finally figured out why my camera's interval shooting wasn't working
(it was user error, of course)

mule notes, mmxxi-i-xxi



Cora was pretty muddy from yesterday's rain so
we did about an hour of grooming and hoof-picking and maybe a minute of riding.
It felt good.

garden notes, mmxxi-i-xix

we think this little critter is a Bell's vireo
it was avoiding the rain and hunting for bugs in the bush outside the kitchen window

(update, 1/9/22: we now think this was an orange-crowned warbler, not a Bell's vireo)
