This morning I put Rosaleigh in the pond pasture with Rosalie, her filly and Blueberry. Rosaleigh and Blueberry were already friends and those two ended up grazing together. This paid off for me labor wise later. The stalls were cleaned before heading over to the walk.
On our walk we did the death trails plus. Diane and Joan are determined to get us ready for the hike up the mountain. Ruth canceled as she wasn't feeling well. After the walk I went right to work in the barn taking the vacuum over and giving the upstairs a good sweeping. Next was the gym. All of the balls were organized and the gym swept. The windows were washed and all 3 bathrooms cleaned. I had to run home to get more supplies as the last group went through most of the soft soap and paper towels. When I went upstairs to get the supplies of course I had to take the time to sweep up the ever present Asian beetles. The supplies were taken over and everything was refilled including the dish soap. At 3:00 pm I quit working. Tomorrow I will need to get the living area floor mopped but Mark might help with that by using the floor scrubber machine. I needed to get the gas filled in the car as today I was taking Taegan and Kensley to volley ball practice as soon as they got off the school bus. Practice starts at 4:20 pm and they get home from school just before 4:00 pm so I was in the drive waiting for them. Phil and Anna had to take a quick trip to Kentucky. When I got home the stalls were prepared for tonight by bringing in another bale of straw for Blueberry's bedding and a square bale of hay which was divided. Half in Blueberry's stall and half in Rosaleigh's stall. I took the golf cart across the dam to call in the mares. 
Instead of stalling Rosalie and her filly, Rosaleigh was stalled next to Blueberry. Rosaleigh's stall will be much easier to clean in the morning. Whisky was moved into the paddock next to Evan so Rosalie and her filly could have the larger paddock. To my disappointment she went right over and started showing to Valiant. She was no longer interested at all in Evan on Monday and there is no way she should have come back in season this quickly.
I sent a text to her owner but if she is showing tomorrow will call Hoerr vet to see if we can get her in for an ultrasound. Rosalie and Dahlia were moved into Raven's old paddock. I have missed her foal heat so will need to keep her close to the stallions for teasing. I have the foaling cameras on and both mares are standing quietly.
Technically Blueberry is due today but she is not waxing so I am not expecting her to go into labor. Mark got one more waterbar dug and finished in our drive. Now we need a storm to dump a gully washer to see how it works.
