Out and In and Out

More rain off and on with a real chill in the air.  However....at 6am it looked like this through the bedroom window

I actually fell asleep while doing my usual routine (sitting in a chair with my legs up with a heating pad on my back) before going out.  Late by about 15 minutes, but we all survived.  Must have been in a very relaxed zone.




It was supposed to get warmer today, but it stayed in the 40s and the boys were getting wet.
I put them in their stalls around noon to dry off and chow on some hay.

The flowers must love this weather.



Another blossom this morning....now there are two on this plant.

AAriana sent me a ton (hundreds) of photos and videos a couple days ago and I spent some time going through them.  Once again, she was a big part of the "Country of Origin" event where she teaches in Las Vegas. Over 400 kids from grades K-12 participated and over 50 countries were represented. The costumes worn representing their cultures were gorgeous as they sang and danced. This year 2 of Ariana's Croatian cousins flew out from the East Coast to join in the celebration. More schools should do this, encouraging all students to be proud of their roots.



She and her cousins are on the far right in their Croatian costumes.
So proud!

At three I turned the boys back out.

We had blueberry pancakes and sausage for dinner.
Of course that was the time of day when the sun showed up.




Back in for the night around 7.  Even tho it had cleared up, they were ready.






Night all.

Another Spa Day

Perfect weather for me.  Bright and a high of 62ish.





I was in the house for about an hour and Alice arrived at 10.


The boys really got the treatment today.  There was enough hair from their coats to make a good sized pillow.





Rebel is totally patient while Buddy is being groomed....but Buddy wants to mess around when it's Rebel's turn.



I was sure they would roll within minutes....but it did not happen.


We went down to the diner for lunch....
and when I got back to the farm, started


mowing the lawn.  It's so green and Lucious.



Gary finished the hand mowing and I tucked in the boys.



I could not believe they were both still clean!
Ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner with leftover Mac salad.
And yet another blossom!
Night all.
