Months has passed in Arcadia since my last update, which apparently was not followed by daily posts. For some reason I cannot seem to commit myself to any sort of daily routines. Besides feeding the horses three times a day and mucking out the pony paddock each morning, that is.

Still working on that To-do list - even though I have managed to check off a few items, more are constantly added to it, making this a never ending story called, well, life I suppose...

The electrician arrived yesterday morning to connect the stable to the master grid, and immediately started to complain about the wiring I already had put up. He is now rewiring the entire stable building, and even though I tell myself that it is a matter of safety for both us and the horses, it will leave a sizeable hole in my wallet.

The carport - or what-ever-you-call-it - is half way done, and I'm embarking on the second half with the rather optimistic view of getting it ready before first snowfall. Which is, as a matter of fact, already too late, as a spot of snow actually fell about a week ago, making it the earliest snow since we moved here. No trace of it in the morning though, so I've decided not to regard it as real snow.
Winter down here usually doesn't start until after New Year, but last year was a rather shocking exception with its four months of heavy snow, something I would not like to see repeat itself this winter. Time will tell, supposedly.

Now a new Arcadian day lies ahead of me, and I must fill it with both meaning and thought; with both heart and soul.
