Fly Traps

 Mabel did very well last night. She whined a little when first put in her crate but then settled down and slept quietly until I took her for a walk outside at 5:00 am. She was not allowed any water or food as today was her surgery. There was no walk this morning, Joan had an early morning meeting and I needed to take Mabel (Sarah's miniature Poodle) to Malabar Vet to get spayed. The mares and foals were let out into the pasture. The mares were glad to go out to graze while the fillies both took off running.

That gave me time to get all the graining done and take the golf cart over to the cabin field to check udders. All was well there, still  no bagging up yet. We arrived at the vet a couple minutes early so I could walk her in the yard. 

She was left there, Sarah was going to pick her up at 2:00 pm. I went straight to the barn to start cleaning from Sunday's dinner. Today I was meeting the mom of a bride that booked in May so I wanted to make sure everything was clean and looked good. As soon as I finished there I got the fly traps out and hung them at each paddock. 

I hope this helps keep the flies down this year. The iris' are blooming.

Mark wanted my help with taking the log splitter off the tractor and moving the wood wagon over to Joan's to get emptied. Mike had arrived with Dancer, Sheena and Titus. He needed them here while he worked on the cabin field fence. David showed up to visit.

Below Mark is taking diesel fuel to the tractor.

The cat is napping on top of one of the round bales.

I took a close up of her.

Mark drove the tractor over while I took the golf cart so I could hitch the wagon to the tractor.

He drove over to Joan's pretty slowly as it is really weighted down with all those split logs.

Joan's Japanese Maple is just gorgeous.

When I got back to the house the kitchen was cleaned enough that I could get a cake baked for the Berean office tomorrow. This will be more like strawberry short cake as it has 1 layer of cake, 2 layers of whipped cream and 2 layers of strawberries.

There were strawberries left which Mark was glad to take care of. At 5:00 pm I took the golf cart over to meet the bride's mother. She took videos of all areas, pictures of what is available to use such as the drink dispensers and crock pots. She wanted punch bowls but I don't have any of those. Even though we don't have those she was happy with the place and I was happy with how much got done here today.
