Labor Day Fun

The heat spell broke during the night, the morning was a cool  refreshing 72 degrees. Mark could hardly wait to fire up his fancy weed whacker and start clearing the new fenceline. We are just about ready to start stringing wire. Emma is still in and was covered today. She should have been out. I'll probably have to haul her in for a sonagram to find out what is going on with her cycle. We were out of dog food which meant a quick trip to Sams. Steven Marchal called as I was heading home to say he was on the way to pick up Ella at Middle Grove then EasterLilly here. Sarah and Rhoda took a group out to Middle Grove for a trail ride. As soon as Steven had the horses loaded and was on his way, I was on my way to Middle Grove arriving just in time for a group photo.

The horses used today from left to right is: Ribbon, Pandora, Zalena, Indy, Jenis, Marika, Missy and Cookie. After posing for a quick picture they were off:

In the picture above the horses are coming down the hill to the lake crossing. The picture below is zoomed in as far as the camera would zoom. This land is just so big.

I decided to hike over to find the rest of the herd, they were busy eating the waist high grass and amazingly even after our lack of rain most of it is still green.

 Hiking back I saw Mike and Diane heading in on the pontoon boat.

 I met them down at the dock and climbed aboard for a short ride. We decided to take the 4 wheelers over to the herd, check them over and spray them down with fly spray. They were all relaxing under a few trees.

What a great place this is for horses. I needed to get back for company, Phil and Anna with their 2 daughters arrived to grill hamburgers.  Phil took Braelyn fishing

but the horses in the cabin field were out of hay so Mark took Taegan with him to help run the skid steer.

Anna's brother Tony and his wife Sarah arrived with their daughter Nora who is just 10 days younger than Taegan. Braelyn had fun pushing them on the swing after supper.

We enjoyed dinner but after spending the entire day outside playing and working we are more than ready for bed.
