Israel Visits

Israel was a happy boy today playing with Darcy and checking out Emma's puppies.

Now before anyone gets upset about a big dog and a small child the only one that almost got bitten was Darcy and he doesn't have any teeth anyway. As sweet and kind as our dogs are we never ever leave a child unattended with them. It just wouldn't be fair to the dog.

We had a terribly cold day again and 2 more waterers were frozen. Emily was able to get one working by putting a tarp around it but the waterer in the paddock Emily just finished preparing for foals is just too far West with no wind block to keep open in this kind of weather. Star had been in that paddock as she is the next mare due but was moved to the Middle paddock with Ribbon, Killian and Ella.
Karin, Rhoda, Emily and I worked on the stall decorations for the fair today. Sarah hauled the tubs over from the back of the stall barn so we could go through and see what needs repair and what we need to order. They decided as long as they were stuck inside they may as well clean and cleaned out the closets in the apartment hauling over toys, bedding and other supplies.
Mom got her laptop back with a huge repair bill from Philip of $12.00. I went over to her house for the evening and was joined by Ruth, Anni, Ryan and Steven. Steven worked on updating mom's laptop while we worked on another puzzle. This one only has 1000 pieces and should be a breeze to put together after that last 2000 piece puzzle.
