2Down2ToGo

 I put the electric blanket on the bed last night and was thankful for the warmth. We are experiencing much cooler weather. A promise of the coming winter. After stopping in at mom's and getting the update the weanlings were put in the indoor for a few hours.  Our airbnb guest had a horse loving daughter and she was put to work cleaning stalls. 

She helped move the fillies from the barn to the indoor and then back to the stalls later. They had 2 King Charles Cavalier dogs traveling with them. At 11:00 am Anna arrived to clean the apartment for the next guests coming in. The girls came with her and made grandma a get well card and some deviled eggs. We ran the eggs over to mom's and found Ruth, Karin, Aunty Jinnie and mom sitting out on the deck in the sunshine. We didn't stay long as Mark wanted my help to remove the log splitter and put the 3 point hitch on the tractor for Spark. Spark and Rhonda are hosting the Bible class tomorrow and are using our tractor and Mike's trailer for a hay rack ride. Spark also wanted to borrow the truck to pick up some bales of hay for the ride. I moved the truck and trailer out of the arena, backed the trailer into position and unhooked it then helped Mark with the tractor. We were missing a pin for the hitch and Mark took the one off my truck. Just then Joan called and asked to borrow the truck AND the trailer to moved a trampoline. I had to get the pin from the tractor, put it back on the truck and hook the trailer back up. Below Joan is getting ready to leave.

Mark found a big bolt with a nut that would work as a pin for the tractor. We drove that over to Mike and Diane's and hooked it up to Mike's trailer.

The man selling the hay told Spark he was busy picking corn but would be available after 4:00 pm. Joan finished her moving around that time and met Spark at the farm for the hay. That was loaded and taken over to the hay rack.  Next week Joan is hosting a group and also wants to do a hay rack ride so the tractor will be left hooked up to the trailer for a week. Our next job was to get the 2 camping trailers that are in the barn winterized. We started on the Wildwood first and as that one is new it took us a while (over 2 hours) to make sure we did everything right. The second one was the 2011 Keystone and had that one done in less than a half hour. Too bad the other 2 trailers weren't here. Both of those are out this weekend but hopefully when they come back we will have this winterizing down pat. I headed over to mom's for the evening. Mom was not comfortable this evening. She wasn't hungry and didn't eat any supper but after taking her pills I convinced her to eat some pudding. Joan arrived about 9:45 pm and will try giving her the Ambien.
