Brr it was cold this morning at 48 degrees with a stiff wind. I walked out without a jacket turned around and walked right back inside to grab one. Ruth was a little late this morning as she did the very same thing. Diane even came on the walk with gloves on. Hard to believe it is May 20th. The sun was out just for a little bit this morning before the clouds rolled in. Our high of the day only reached 55 degrees. I had a very productive morning. Once the arena was cleaned up Lily and Zalena were turned out into the pond pasture to see if they had any interest in Evan. I thought Zalena may be in so brought her to the front of his paddock but she was not at all interested, screaming and striking out at him. Both mares were given their grain and put back in the indoor. Irish was next. She is still in and was successfully covered by Valiant. Jewel was teased next and she is out. Tori showed some interested and started winking but when Evan tried to mount she started bucking. I was glad to see she did not kick out, just bucked up. Evan was put away and Tori moved in with Irish. Lisa was teased next and she was in big and stood for Evan like a pro even though it was her first time. Sometimes maiden mares can be a handful. If she settles that will be a really beautiful foal. Lisa is only 50% Friesian but her 37.5 % Morgan mixed with that 12.5% Percheron sure makes her look like a purebred Friesian. Check out the feather on her in the picture below taken a week ago.
Once the horses were put away I left for Pekin to shop at Aldi and ended up spending $188.00. Wonder how in the world that can happen? Well they had some really good buys. Queen size sheet sets for $17.99. Those really cool zero gravity lounge chairs and this one is a extra big extra wide with a side table and only cost $34.99. I also bought the apartment a new frying pan, a really good frying pan that only cost $9.00. All those extra things plus groceries made me the big buyer of the day. This evening Mark did more weed whacking then we started the big job of the evening. Replacing the batteries on the golf cart.
The golf cart works but now the charger is not working. Hopefully Mark can take that apart and fix it. Sheena and Madiera were checked before heading in. We have storms coming in tonight but neither of them are bagged up enough to bring them in. Below
Sheena is due in exactly a week but has gone 10 days late in the past.
Madiera went just 1 day late last year. She is due May 29th.
