Hi there ! Me again.

Today was a pretty warm day, for Finland in winter at least. Still no snow (pfiou !), but there will be tomorow. I spent a normal day here, discovering the place and tying to work with Dev'. Why trying ? Because he's been a real .... stallion since he saw the other mare ! He can't focus and I almost felt at least three times in a row today.


But an other thing appened today. I just finished my (rough) mounting with Dev' and was walking up the stairs to the main room (dining room and living room at the same place ... I'll take some pictures next time !) when I heard some voices.

Now you're gonna say : "It's pretty naughty to listen to doors !" and well, I know. But I didn't want to interrupt, as I didn't really know them ... But the discussion caught my ears :
"(....) where she is. Nobody saw her leave, her horse is still in the stable so she couldn't have run far ..."
Sounded like the voice of Jacob. Maybe. At least, a masculine voice.
"I know, I know... She makes me worry sick when she does that."
That was the shivering voice of an old woman. Beartha.
"She'll be back, Said the man, she always comes back."
"I know, I just ... I'm too old for that. What will she do when I won't be there ?"
"Don't worry, I'm (...)"

I decided it was enough. I was pretty ashamed of what I had heard, but I entered the room like nothing happened. Beartha was in the old chair, in front of the fireplace, as usual. Jacob was effectively by her side, on a comfy chair. He stopped talking, and immediatly smiled at me like yesterday.

"Hi Edith ! How are you ? How was your riding day ?"
"Fine, thanks a lot ! Hello Beatha. My riding day was alright, Dev' is pretty agitated since he saw your mare ..."
"Ha, Rosemary's real bomb ! Don't worry, I'll change her pasture and put her with the other mares." He took a moment to think."Did I show you where to trek ? Oh no, I forgot to show you. We have at least 20 tracks, all open and safe ! I could take you to one without cars if you want ..."
"It would be great ! But if your mare is here I don't know if Dev' will be able to behave !"
"Don't worry she'll be kind !"
"Well we can test then .. Thanks again."
"Don't worry, it's normal."


The rest was just small talk. I stayed absorbed in my thoughts a long time after this talk, and decided to give it to you. I have to sleep now, bye !
 

A NICE CUP OF TEA
