Finally getting to let Rosalie spend a little time outside - except today, only her fourth day in the paddock - she decided she needed to leave the paddock, so she tried to jump out - over a four foot high gate - from a stand still. She didn't quite make it, and tangled all four legs in the tubular steel gate. We'll see over the next few days how much damage she has done to herself. Right now, it seems to be only a few nasty scrapes, but the vet says it will take about three days before we'll know if there is possible tendon damage. This horse is truly trying my patience. At least she didn't break a leg, she certainly could have. Am I supposed to sit there and watch her every minute she is outside? Worse than a baby.

D3 is now engaged. Her boyfriend of the last year and a half popped the question and gave her a ring on her birthday. Thank goodness they don't plan to actually get married until they have completed their degrees - and I say until he has a job.

Tomorrow the hub, the boy and I will drive a couple hours to visit D3 and watch her play her cello for an opera production. Happy to hear her play, but two hours of opera - not my kettle of tea. I think we'll then get to watch her steel pan band rehearse, which I truly do look forward to.

One more week to prepare for end of year tests with the boy - then we get back to our regularly scheduled studies. He and I have spent most of the year studying physical sciences - the test is heavy on biology. Our main focus in history is US history - the test is all world history, no US at all. Can't accuse me of teaching to the test...

Mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Not much to say about that, except it is always a good thing when the lawn mower cranks after the winter off.

I guess that pretty much covers the mundane. You know, mundane is fine with me.
