Birthday...

Jeremiah's birthday went quite well.  I hadn't seen him for a couple days so when I pulled up to the ranch Tuesday morning, I was more than excited to see him preparing our horses for the day.  J's cousin Tinah joined the action and it felt nice to have all four horses out moving the cows.  The weather stayed cool and crisp.  Despite the dark blue clouds and flood warnings we stayed dry and enjoyed the never ending pastures which I've never seen so green.  Greenland, indeed.
We ate lunch together, took an epic nap, ate dinner together (with cake!) and then watched Jeremiah open his presents.  I bought him two Larry Brown books (one is signed!), a penguin USB flash drive, and underpants!!  He was so happy.
The ranch is so good.  I feel rejuvenated every time I go down there and J and my relationship always seems to take on a new light.  I plan to head back down on Thursday for a mellow day with J's folks and time to break in a new saddle I've been using.  So far, the "breaking in" has only led to extreme soreness and bow-legged walking but I'm determined!!

Either way, I loved that Jeremiah was feelin' so much love on his birthday.  He certainly deserves it.
