No walk again this morning. With Diane gone the rest of us don't feel the need. We all get enough exercise without it. Instead I was up at the barn cleaning stalls while it was still cool enough to do so. The apartment was made ready for the guests coming in today and the indoor arena cleaned before heading down to make breakfast for Mark. Right after breakfast I left for TSC to pick up the fly spray and new sprayer then to Kroger to pick up onions for our meal tonight which was liver and onions. I got home right around 9:00 am, hooked up the horse trailer and headed for Middle Grove to pick up Madiera. From there I went straight to Hoerr Vet clinic to get Madiera's blood drawn for her new Coggins test. I didn't think to take any pictures at Middle Grove as I was in a hurry and only stopped and took the picture below after Madiera was loaded back in the trailer at the vet clinic.
I was due at mom's at 1:00 pm. Madiera was put in with Jury in the far paddock.
Madiera isn't due until June 7th but may be going to another barn to foal out. We have someone coming to look at her on Monday. They are hoping to purchase her foal and want the entire experience of foaling her out and handling the foal from birth on. I still had time to check out the auction site on Hanna City Glasford road. I heard they had a lot of horse stuff but we just don't need much of that anymore.
When I got to mom's the coop picnic was in full swing. There were cars and people everywhere. It was so hot out that the cold lake water felt good. There were people playing volley ball, swimming, fishing, boating, playing on the playground, sitting around tables and visiting and just really enjoying the day.
Below is a short video of some of the lake activity taken from mom's deck.
Mom had a better day today, she enjoyed the liver and onions we had for supper and also the hot biscuits. We had a quiet evening. Mark saw my car had been parked over at the playground and brought my car and Karin's car up to mom's house as rain was predicted. I left mom's at 8:30 pm once she was in bed and the storm hit right after that. During the storm the thermometer dropped dramatically from our high of 93 down to 76.
Check out the headline from the New York Times:
"Biden Administration Cancels Drilling Sales in Alaska and Gulf of Mexico"
Do you want to know what the reason for canceling according to this liberal newspaper?
A spokeswoman for the Interior Department, Melissa Schwartz, said in a statement that the Cook Inlet lease sale would not proceed because of a “lack of industry interest.”
What an absolute LIE! Gas is now $4.69a gallon at the cheapest places here in the Peoria IL area. Any guess on how high can we go? We can't trust the government and we certainly can't trust the media. We the people that have to drive to work for a living are in BIG TROUBLE when our government is on such a destructive path. WHY are they doing this on PURPOSE? With diesel fuel at an all time high of $5.29 a gallon here every semi truck driver owner hauling and farmer trying to farm are really concerned. Well we should be too. No wonder food prices are so high.
