Unpacking

Monday too tired, Tuesday too busy, Wednesday a vet appointment so the trailer MUST be emptied today. Up at 5:30, read the paper, had a cup of coffee until all the vehicles were gone for the day then moved the trailer close to the house so the unpacking could be done out of the mud. There was no one to help but still everything that needed to be out of the trailer now is. The popcorn machine is in the hallway, once Mark comes home he can help move it up on the table for cleaning. The 2 cotton candy machines are already on tables, one on the kitchen and one on the playroom table. Those will need a good cleaning also. The 3 blue trunks are on the porch. Those will be unloaded and repacked at a later time.
Sangria had a 10:00am vet appointment and needed to be picked up at the farm by 9:15am to make it in time. Not knowing the condition of the driveway but suspecting it should not be driven on without 4 wheel drive the trailer was parked in front of the mailboxes and Sangria was walked down the lane and into the trailer.
Dr. Hoerr was a little late, but a new horse magazine had come so the time was spent leisurely reading. Once he arrived Sangria was put into the stocks and while Dr. Hoerr was getting ready for the examination a young brown Swiss calf was bawling in the hospital stall wanting breakfast. How blessed I was to be able to hold the bottle and feed this little heifer. She was so sweet and finished the bottle quickly. She was brought into the clinic with scours and very dehydrated, she is looking good today, running around demanding a bottle.
Sangria is in season big time and I wanted to make sure she was clean and ready to be bred. The timing isn't right, we don't want a Feb. baby with her but I'll mark her down as in season and will start to track her cycle.
To drop her off, the same system was used, pull up along side the mail boxes, unload and lead her up the drive. No chance at all of getting stuck.
Today is just a beautiful sunny day with the temperature suppose to reach in the low 60s. This should help melt the deep frost in the ground.
