Mark got home just a little after 4:00pm and it was off to the farm to dig... and dig... and dig.
Mark took a break and started moving the dirt pile to the crater with the skid steer but I kept using the pic axe and shovel for another hour.
This is like chopping through concrete. We quit on that by dark.
On my first break I brought Raven over to Izadora to check if she is in season. She was not. Raven sure is funny, as soon as we head over to a mares paddock it's like he becomes a HUGE gorilla. He gets taller and seems to make himself massive in order to impress the mares.
Izadora came over with her colt but only to scream at him and tell him to get lost!
The colt is really beautiful, pitch black and such presence the way he dances around bucking and kicking.
Raven was taken over to graze to counteract the disappointment of her rejection. The sun was getting low in the sky and he was framed by the slanting rays.
By 6:30 it was too dark to see, we were hungry and tired so on our way home stopped at KFC, picked up chicken for dinner. Mark built a fire in the living room and a sleeping bag in front of the fireplace was perfect for reading until the dogs decided it was more comfortable and crowded me off.
