Oh, Bama! I literally laughed out loud at your horse stories. I can see why you're good. 
At a barn show once when I was a teenager, my saddle slid off, and I fell - right before a jump. The previous rider had not tightened the cinch properly. It was really hard to do, but I tightened the cinch, got back on the horse - and we completed the (very simple) jumping course without a problem. I gained new appreciation for the saying, "get back on the horse". You were very kind to that possum.
I hope Germane is feeling better, Doggedly. That was one well-trained horse! Sounds like fancy dressage moves to me. Glad you missed the freezing rain. Love that Anne Shirley quote.
Enjoy chatting with your friend, kitkat. Our bird feeder sat empty for a few days, but dh refilled it last night, and the birds quickly found it.
That soup sounds delicious, great for a chilly spring day, L Ann.
Oh no on the 2 root canals, Gma. You've got enough to stay busy today.
I checked a map too because I like maps a lot. We're parallel to the most southern part of Canada. In fact, we're only about 45 miles straight west from Windsor, Canada. The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is farther north than Ottawa. (I was curious.) It looks like a lot of Minnesota is farther north than Ottawa. Bama, if you make a road trip, you can come through Michigan and pick me up! LOL! Actually, it might be shorter to angle across the country and go under Lake Erie and Lake Ontario rather than over (through Michigan).
OK, I need to get some things done. It is now 3:30. Hmm.... I don't think everything on my list is going to get done.
