Kesli Skye

Kesli Skye was born at 3:18 am. Happy parents are Kristin and Benji Hodel.  Technically Kesli Skye isn't related to me but she IS Stephanie's brand new niece so that makes her part of the family.
We rejoice with Kristin and Benji at the safe birth of this beautiful 7 pound 10 ounce bundle of joy.  Her sisters Jasper, Marinn and Eliana are thrilled to welcome their new little sister home. 
For the last 2 mornings we had gorgeous pink, orange and gold sunrises but today the cloud cover was too heavy to let any gleam of brightness through. Abby was moved into the paddock next to Evan so Jenis could be moved into the paddock Abby had been staying in with Cinnamon.  Ayanna and Hadassah have joined up and were picking on Jenis.  It is funny how exchanging Oksana for Ayanna made me have to move horses. Oksana gets along with everyone and would never dream of being a bully. Ayanna is Lily's daughter who just happens to be the boss mare of EVERYONE.
Rhoda trained Ayanna to bow and lay down while being ridden. She is a beautiful mare but so very bossy.
Both of Lily's daughters, Ayanna and Rosalie are the thugs of the herd. The only horse they back down from is their mama Lily.  Ayanna needs to be here as she is the last mare due in 2019. She isn't due for a month but I feel better having her here to keep an eye on her.  
She has the most gorgeous foals by Evan.
The apartment was finished and ready for the new guests coming in by 10:00 am but I forgot to turn the heat on and didn't remember that until 3:00 pm. It was down to 60 degrees when I remembered. I'm not sure when the guests arrived, but they turned the heat down to 68 degrees instead of 72 so I know they are here. My nephew Tom fixed a leak at Bridlewood and Amy snapped the picture below  and sent it with the title Tom in a hole.
Sure am thankful to have plumbers in the family.  We actually have a lot of these talented skilled workers. Tom is one of 3 brothers from John's family and all three are plumbers as was John.  Rachel's husband owns his own plumbing business. Rachel's oldest son is a plumber as is her only son-in-law. Of course with our big extended family we probably have every occupation needed covered.
