WHAM! BAM! GET READY FOR A SHORT POST...


















When the pups and I went out to the barn it was raining....and had been for many hours.


































I put hay in the hay nets so the horses could eat without getting soaked.













By the time they finished their grain it started to clear up.



























This is the north side of the horse barn...I love the old stone work.














Taa Daaaaa!  The sun came out.























At 10:30am class started.  This is the view out of the East window.  Looks like a painting to me.  Next week it will switch to afternoons....2-3:30.



















Sid and Seymour spent the afternoon lounging on the back porch.



Ya see these black walnuts?  There were literally thousands of them on the front lawn...I had started mowing earlier and the belt came off so I had to stop.  In the meantime, Gary was raking up all these dumb nuts!!!!!  I helped and we ended up hand mowing a huge portion of the lawn.  Not my idea of a good time.



















The weather was starting to change and Barb was doing chores tonight, so I went out and made up hay cubes for the pony.  Figured they would get put in early and wanted her to have something to eat after her grain.



















Gary was kind enough to throw down some hay for me.  We keep it up in the loft and then set it up in the feed room each week.

































Today was his birthday.  I took him out for dinner at the LB Grande.  We have not been there in a couple of years.  After we had our meal, they brought out dessert with a sparkler in it (on the house).  Brownie...ice cream...brownie...hot fudge....whipped cream....cherry!!!!  Why didn't I take a picture?  I brought half of my dinner home not knowing we were going to have this....then I had a few bites and now am ready to BURST!  Happy Birthday Gar!

I need to go rest.
Night all.

I've always found it amusing how horses all seem to face the same direction in a field. I imagine it has something to do with the wind, but what do I know?

Happy Birthday to Gary! I'm surprised you didn't have a big shin dig at the farm...you are so good at entertaining.

I have a post on the dogs coming up that will make you (of all the people I "know") happy.

Love your photos--and, again, seeing your busy day.

Happy b-day, Gary!

Gary! Happy Birthday! I would have been able to say this in person yesterday if you and Lori hadn't been keeping it a secret. Hope you enjoyed your special day.

Happy Birthday Gary! Sounds like it was a good one. Looks like Sid and Seymour had the right idea on how to spend the day.
