It’s 70 and It’s January

 

 

If I wasn’t so busy at work, I would have taken the day off.  As it was, I planned to leave early but duty called and I couldn’t get out the door until normal time.  It was 72 degrees according to the dash of the Durango.  I am told that is the warmest its been this time of year since the 1930’s.  Someone at work wondered if we should be concerned with this unseasonable change.  A person much smarter than me said the earth has been around for millions of years; who really knows if it is that unusual.  So with that comment in mind, I’ll keep enjoying this weather and hope that February gifts us, too.

 

 

Along with the nice days, the sunrises and sunsets have been remarkable.  The above pictures were taken driving in to work this morning.   I just can’t get enough!  John and I rode just a little over five miles after work tonight; once again, racing the sunset.  It is our 19th wedding anniversary.  I’d have never believed 19 years ago we would be riding horses today or any day.  You never know what the future holds now, do you?

And Then There Was One….

 

For those of you who follow only my blog, long before there was simply horsetrailriders.com, the website.  Founded in 2004, the goal of horsetrailriders.com was to provide information on the horse trails in Nebraska and horse trail riding events.  In my book, the website was a huge success as far as meeting those goals, but having no website design experience, it was always clunky for me to update.  When I found Blogspot, I could easily cater to my lost passion – writing – in a less cumbersome format.  Although I tended to the basics of the old website, it was kind of left to grow dusty.  I knew I could merge them together but knowing I could do it and knowing how to do it are two different things.   

 

 

When I asked for help from fellow bloggers about combining the two, many of you provided some great suggestions.  But when it came time to actually doing the deed, I didn’t trust myself or what I was reading.  So I turned it over to website designer, Robin, of Brown Wing Studio to do all the technical behind-the-scenes stuff. And in a matter of moments, she pressed the necessary buttons and viola`, it was merged.  And it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg, either.  If you need help with a website, I highly recommend Robin.  

 

By the way, Robin and her husband, Brian are also fellow horseman and bloggers.  You can follow their horse life here:  On the Trail To Somewhere and A Year of Equestrian Living.

 

Thank you so much, Robin, for your expertise.
