I am staying with friends of a friend of Ruth's this week. I am in Pfalzgrafenweiler, Germany. Today it is about 70-80*F in the Sun. It is SO warm. It is a beautiful day outside, Blue Skies, Bright Sun, oh so nice. Two days ago it was still below freezing, how fast the weather changes. It feels like spring today. I even did yard work that they asked me today. I had to put on sunscreen after awhile so I wouldn't burn. To top it all off, I get to go riding today! Yes, I said horseback riding. A friend of their daughters is letting me ride her horse for five Euro. I am so EXCITED!!! Here are some pictures of the house and a rider I saw today. You can walk to the edge of the Black Forest in five minutes or less. Lots of people trail ride in there. What a wonderful day!!!

A rider that I saw from the house, I heard it before I saw it.
A cat in a field looking for field mice
The house that I am staying at
I think this is Spring Crocus

My mount for the day. His name is Yoshi, and he is an Iceland Pony

Yes, I am riding in my skirts like always =)

So, I got to go riding for about two hours of actual riding. I also got to brush, Saddle, and Bridle my mount. I had a blast, and it only cost 5 Euro. The best part is I get to go again tomorrow, and ride an actual horse!!! However, even riding the pony was fun, I am sure will be sore tomorrow though =)
