Our Friday started pretty early. We had to wait for the coffee maker to go off before getting up. Mark feeds the cat before the walk and I feed Valiant his breakfast. Madiera and her colt were up eating off a bale so they were haltered and taken over to the cabin field to join Jewel and Curlin. The colt was very curious about Curlin.
He got a little too close to Curlin, she went after him and very quickly Jewel got between them and laid into Curlin. You DON'T mess with a foal in Jewel's herd. Curlin was banned from the group for a while.
That is Jewel keeping an eye on Curlin in the picture below making sure she doesn't get to close.
A small amount of grain was put in each of the feeders so they had plenty of room to eat without feeling threatened but even then Curlin stayed away. The colt loves his grain,
Once I was sure all was well I left for the walk. Diane spent the night at Middle Grove so it was just Ruth, Joan and I. After the walk Mark gets his breakfast. After breakfast I left for Sam's club, picked up a boneless pork loin for our Sunday dinner along with potatoes for mashing, a water melon and grapes as those were marked down and a few other food items Mark wanted. We got a message that a couple was coming over to check out the MiniMax. That meant it had to be moved to the back of the barn and plugged in.
It was easy to level so none of that took too long. It was really hot out so I was glad to get back inside into the air conditioning. Berlica was out mowing with the grasshopper while Mackenson was mowing with the walk behind. The mares in the pond pasture were grazing near the fence.
The couple let us know they were coming after supper so I went up to turn the air and lights on in the MiniMax and stopped to take a picture of the sky with the sunbeam beaming down.
Braelyn had company come to spend the night at the barn and took them around on the golf cart. One of the guests decided to drive but almost hit the tree so Braelyn had to take over.
Below she is giving them a ride back to the barn.
Mark was spreading gravel with the skid steer. One of the places he worked on was the low spot at the barn parking lot.
The couple arrived as the sky was turning beautiful colors. WE all had to stand around admiring how God paints the clouds. It really was SO beautiful. Each moment was more beautiful than the last.
What a beautiful gift and a wonderful way to end the day. We stayed taking pictures and visiting until it got dark. How can I not give thanks to our Creator who gifts us with these beautiful colors.
