Rain, finally!!!

I have been reading about all these people getting a much needed rain only to look out at our very dry grass wondering where our rain was. We finally are getting the much needed rain, just a week away from the competition. I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth though, so I am not complaining. Sure it will cut down on training time that Kirstin has with Tuff, but I guess if he doesn't know it by now...I looked outside yesterday at the rain coming down only to see Kirstin working with Tuff in the round pen. I stepped outside and hollered the obvious at her, "hey, Kirstin it's raining" (duh) and she just replied back, "it's only a little bit of rain." What determination she has! I wished that at 15, I had just half of her drive & determination. That will really take her far in today's world. As her parent, I am definitely blessed and couldn't be more proud of her than I am right now.
