Tuesday and I am late

Already Tuesday evening.....gosh,where does the time go?

The weather has been lovely.....not too hot.....not too cool.......no rain and the pastures are dry.....no mud anywhere for the first time in months.

We had a great party on Saturday....lots of friends and food....nice weather......a really good time. Thanks everyone for coming.

We have good news......both Promise and Breeze will be adopted together. They will be picked up next week and will travel to California. They will share an irrigated pasture and loafing shed. The girls have an incredible bond and I am very happy they will get to stay together.

Silk is doing well and is also very bonded to Grace. True love. He will be heartbroken when he goes home and so will Grace.

Tarbaby is doing better with his leg.......the swelling is down....no more meds to take.

It had to happen....the barn cat caught a squirrel today......in the barn......in the sunflower seeds. She didn't eat him......but she did kill him. I feel terrible. I have never seen her catch a mouse or rat....but remember the squirrels attacked her and so it may have happened again. I wasn't there.......I just found the body.

Time to buy hay again.....the prisoners love the alfalfa grass mix we got..they eat every bit of it.....except Silk and Grace....they gum it, but still manage to get the small leafy parts eaten.

We are working on the arena footing tomorrow, if it doesn't rain and rain does not seem likely. This weekend, we will work on fencing and some painting......and it is still time to think about winter and running water and mud......again....ugh. I hate to think about it........summer is so short.

We have company this weekend.......old friends from Eastern Washington...it will be nice to visit with them.

Pony UP fortune for tomorrow:

What did you leave behind?
