Outside Mares

After supper Mark got on the skid steer flipped a round bale for me then started excavating the yard. We heard the weather forecast and an inch of rain is predicted later this week. He wants to get rid of the pond in the yard and slope the water away from the house. Below he is digging a trench with that very handy tool.

Gem one of the outside mares was enjoying the show watchting Mark work so I took a couple of pictures for her owner. This mare has really settled down and put on weight.

As long as the camera was out Novella's picture was taken. Novella is the purebred Friesian mare here for Valiant.

Isn't she gorgeous? Valiant sure thought so. Over the weekend Mark removed all the concrete off of our driveway going into the garage then piled it on the other side of the drive. If we really do get an inch of rain this will all turn into mud, thick mud.

That big pile of concrete in the right hand side of the picture will go into the pond, all along the sides. Nate Herman of Herman pond management recommend this to build habitat for the fish.
