Soon Heidi broke the silence. She is looking across the lake and spotted Rachel walking over to join us.
As we reached Joan and Tim's dam the dogs alerted us to what they considered a great find. There was blood and feathers down by the retain-age pond. Perhaps a coyote was able to kill a goose.
We use to sing a song in choir called, I'm Looking for Wings Ebby found a wing and of course that song got stuck in my mind the rest of the day.
She was so proud of it she dragged the wing up the steep dam and was trying to carry it down the road but the wing was so big she couldn't see in front of her and she fell off the side of the dam. Even then she didn't let go of her treasure.
I needed to leave for work early as you can see by the pictures below we were swamped with studies to be processed.
Poor Eva Jean had to work over time today. We were not able to finish and she took hundreds home to finish.
This next picture is out of order, I was telling the guys while we were at lunch how Mike had to go up on stage during the cruise. When the comedian asked him to come up, his sheepish look caused us to roll with laughter.
Steven Marchal called before I made it home from work that he was willing to pick up Lily and Ayanna. He pulled up about the same time I did. Raven is always so excited when a trailer pulls up with a mare in it, too bad she is already pregnant. He was sure we were going to bring her over.
Lily was put in the indoor while Ayanna was put in a stall and then it was time to get Bow. Today was weaning day for her. She came out of the paddock at a full gallop.
She finally settled down and was easily led into the stall with Ayanna. Steven brushed Lily up and then just couldn't help himself. He climbed on her bareback with just a halter and lead.
Lily is technically due the first part of April but knowing her history we will start watching her the middle of March. She has the most beautiful mane and tail and as heavy as she is her trot is easy to sit. She is light on her feet. She trotted both directions for Steven.
We headed in to brush out Ayanna's very thick mane and tail. The pictures are way too dark but she is so beautiful we just had to take them anyway.
She inherited her parent's beautiful thick long tails. Ayanna is not yet 2 years old, she is around 15 hands and looks almost like a full grown mare.
Ayanna and Bow will share the double stall for a few days to help with Bow's weaning process. We were so busy playing with these 2 when the watch was checked it was after 4:00pm and our special Valentines dinner still needed to be prepared before Mark came home. Everything was done as he walked in.
The lobster was delicious! Below is an after dinner plate.
