Evan Today

As the morning was sunny but not yet hot I thought it would be a good time to get new pictures of Evan and have them put on canvas then hung in the apartment. Rachel gave me advice such as bathe him first as every little imperfection will show up and take the shots in bright sunshine with a high shutter speed. I followed her advice, Evan got a bath then I took him into the field where I was sure he would show off except the very first thing he did was ROLL in the mud. I took them anyway and hoped for the best.

If you would like to see the rest of Evan's pictures from today click HERE. Karin arrived not too much later and needed to wire the bottom of her car back up. Her car is a hybrid and has 280,000 miles on it and is held together with cheap wire from Dollar Tree. 

As soon as Karin finished with her car we took Jenis out for some pictures for the website. 

Karin had a trail ride scheduled using Sally, Bunni, Cookie, Jenis, Sangria and Star. Now Sangria hadn't been ridden for a while so Hannah was put on her.

 Ellie rode Jenis, Eric rode Sally with Berlica behind him. 

 Heather rode Bunni

 Joey rode Cookie and Karin rode Star.

She is such a fun mare I'm glad she is back here and back on the starting line up of trail horses.  I had 2 loads of sand ordered from Kickapoo Sand and Gravel for the outdoor arena and both of those loads came today. That will need to be spread later, today was just too busy.  I also ordered 24 fly swatters off Amazon. We can NEVER have enough fly swatters around here. The apartment, the barn, the camper and the house could all use some. I may have a few left to share if anyone is desperate.  When Mark got home this evening he brought home an antenna for the television at the apartment.  That will be hooked up tomorrow so the next airbnb guests who are coming in next week will have a way to watch television. He also got the mirror hung in the bedroom. We are almost ready for the next guests.  Mom rode with Joan to church tonight but came home with us.  Tim Funk had the message and truly the sanctuary was filled with the Spirit bursting out of Tim's mouth.  Hopefully we will have very exciting news to share tomorrow morning. It isn't mine to share right now but I'm sleeping with the phone next to the bed tonight in order to get the news as soon as the big event happens.
