April Fool’s Day

How clever of the Word Press folks to mess with our “hits” scale today for April Fool’s Day. That brought a smile to me.

No kidding though, today I celebrate Willa’s birthday. So here’s her photo before I go saddle her up for a ride:

Willa

It’s no fooling though, that I really don’t know Willa’s birthday. A few years back I picked April 1st as the day to celebrate her birthday. I do know she is now nine years old and I’ve had her since she was a two-year-old. I picked April 1st for her birthday as it’d be easy to remember and, like most horses in N. America, she was probably born in the spring. I also picked it in honor of my mom’s old AQHA Champion stud, Sizzlin Hot. April 1st was his birthday and he was a great horse for Mom.

So happy birthday, Willa and happy birthday to the late “Siz.”

Now let’s go ride on this gorgeous spring day.

    I love the hits numbers for today, despite it being a joke…tears, tears, tears for what might have benn.

  3. Happy Birthday Willa. And Happy April Fools Day. I am attempting my first gag…I’ve taped the water sprayer to shoot at hubby when he turns on the faucet. I hope I don’t forget I did that…then the jokes on me…
    Yeah, that’s gonna happen, I’m pretty sure.

    Have a great weekend.
