Barn mornings

I usually get to spend about 45 minutes to an hour each morning at the barn before I head into the office, though this week with fighting a cold and other miscellaneous duties, I've missed a few mornings.

Granted, I get to the office looking much more put together on days I don't get to the barn - hair not soaked, clothes on straight since I don't have to change in the trailer, and hands not coated in warm, sweet-smelling horse dirt.

But then I miss the soft sounds of horses chewing, their big, soft noses poking in my pockets for carrots, curious nuzzles of the camera lens.

All in all, getting to work clean is way over-rated in my book.
