Isla Sold

It is nice that I can head out to feed in the daylight and be back in plenty of time to go on our walk. This last month, before the time change, I could not finish the morning chores before it was time to leave. The only problem this morning was the golf cart had a flat tire. That meant buckets of grain had to be carried to each paddock. I was done by 6:30 am and had plenty of time to look for Mark's phone. We didn't find that though, he had left it at a job site yesterday but drove there and thankfully it was exactly where he left it. I only did one round on the walk as today is Berean day.

As soon as we finished lunch and cleaned up the office I drove to Sam's and picked up a box of diapers for Eden which were on sale. Those were taken down to Sarah and Nolan's house before heading home. The sun was shining and the car warm and that isn't good when one is tired. I had to shake myself awake and open a window for the long ride home.
Mark came home a little early and took the flat tire off the golf cart and loaded it up into his car. He is going to try to get it repaired tomorrow.
Phil and Anna made it to the Bahama's and are having beautiful weather. The TRANE company meeting is being held there.

Our big news is Isla sold tonight and not to just some random stranger.

Isla now belongs to Steven, the Steven who trained Lily as a 2 and 3 year old, Athena as a 2 year old and taught both boys how to do their tricks.

Above is Lily who went to college in Kentucky with Steven and below is Athena at a clinic.

Below Steven is working with the stallions Evan and Valiant. 

He will do well with Isla and plans on bringing her back here to be bred to Evan when she is old enough.  Isla will stay with us until 2020 so on Thursday she will be taken to Middle Grove to be with the herd this winter.

Speaking of Middle Grove, Mike went out and moved 3 bales in. The cold weather is coming and even though there is still plenty of grass we keep hay in front of the horses all winter. Eating good hay does a good job helping keep the horses warm.
