I think the temperature has almost been rising a degree a day. The mornings are lovely as I sit outside with my cuppa listening to all the birds singing and watching the hawks swinging the thermals.
Justin set up a bedroom for me in what was his office. He took out the carpet and put in new flooring, painted and added bedroom furniture. It's very comfortable. it does get hot by the evening so the AC and fan run all night.
I was lucky that Rooster - the dog - recognised me and he has accepted me being there.
Ivy and Benny have certainly grown and changed since last year!
Ivy was going to ride at a show on Saturday but her pony had a sore leg and couldn't compete but she and Lauren went as supporters. Benny and I spent time in the pool.
This week Ivy is at horse camp - she helps out with younger kids and also has her chance to ride. Meanwhile Benny is at soccer camp - I'm just watching them going through their warm ups.
I took over watercolour pencils and little art books so each afternoon we sit together and draw and paint. Ivy and Benny are enjoying it - we take turns deciding what to draw.
I think Ivy was tired and emotional when drawing yesterday.
Day 1
Day 4
There has been jumping and diving competitions after dinner which is very entertaining. I think both Ivy and Benny could be hurdlers!
I watched Benny at soccer camp this morning - 3 hours in the heat - but all the kids, of various ages seemed to enjoy it. Benny and l spent a large part of the afternoon in the pool. I'm having trouble trying to think of games to play in the pool - they are keeping me on my toes!!!
Ivy has been to horse camp and is now at a friend's place so I'm 'chillaxing'.
