Heat is coming! Picked up a new John Deere garden tractor this morning. It replaces an old one that owes us nothing. Dropped some antique steel rod type of beds at a sandblaster. Visited our horse, Henry, at a stable up the road. He injured his leg, which is hugely swollen. He's on the equivalent of demerol, was quite spaced out, but took my carrots and hobbled a bit on 3 legs. He's a retired thoroughbred, and tends to go wild when spring finally comes, and he and his buddies and girlfriends can let out a bit of pent up steam. Lots of horse play. Thus the swollen leg. Vet is working some kind of laser treatment on him this afternoon. Sometimes life just ain't fair. As some of us know very well.
