My Sleeping Beauty....

 Before I went out to the barn, I caught the girls snoozing in the outdoor arena.
 Such a beautiful morning.

 I've been a mowing maniac lately.  Today I finished all the pastures.


 I guess Abbe did not get enough sleep last night.

At 11:15 Gary remembered that Finn had a ball game this morning, so we stopped what we were doing and went "as we were" to the town park.  I had on sweats and was covered with horse hair...but I brought my camera and caught a few shots.  Coop was practicing his pitching while Finn was playing.


 Finn will be 10 in August....I see such a difference in his playing this year.  He gets it!

This is the second time he has pitched and he was fabulous!!!!

 He grabbed a couple of infield hits and threw them out at first.  Later when he was playing right field he grabbed a long ball and threw another kid out.  I was very impressed.  What a natural.

Home around 1:30.  I needed a big glass of lemonade with a shot of oj.
 Did the final mowing and dragged both rings.  Gary planted hundreds of onions.

Around 5 I went down to the Morgan Manning House to pick up a couple chicken dinners...no cooking tonight.







 Got them to go as we were both too filthy to eat there, and we still had more work to do.  Of course I was seen in that condition by tons of friends.  Gary thinks I am very eccentric, being comfortable going there without getting cleaned up first.  Oh well.  I do plan to take a shower now that the horses are set for the night and this post is almost finished.




Night all.

We're Taking Wednesdays Off Until September....

Got a very late start on this post as we had our chorus concert tonight.  All done.
 It looked like this at 5:30am....now I'm really tired!
 After chores I mowed the two small pastures and later on started the lawn.
 Just like a golf course.



 Even mulched the front paddock.....smoooooth.

Had a 10am physical with my Doctor.  Since January I have had a mammogram, a body check at the dermatologists, got my teeth cleaned and checked, had a one year check on my knee replacement, blood work... and now this.  Let's hope I can go without appointments for awhile.

Got home shortly after Lorrie started her lesson with Moon.
 Today they used the outdoor arena...so much more space.
 Abbe and Berlin watched from the pasture.

 Elizabeth set up all kinds of cones and rails....fun.  Moon was a very good girl.  She is so steady.


 The pups stayed in the yard while I finished mowing the rest of the lawn.

Had to take flowers for our director and two pianists tonight.  Picked lots from our garden and turned them into nice bouquets.
 Our call was for 5pm and the concert started at 7.
 We sang to a packed house.
 The Hochstein Youth Choir really energized our chorus and they did a great job...so did we.
 After the concert there was a reception loaded with goodies and punch.



 The usual suspects were there to support us.
Now I need a good long break.
Night all.
