Busy... Morning 'Til Night

 Cooler and much less humid.  What a day!


I finished chores just as the farrier arrived.

Buddy was first and we assessed Rebel before deciding to do his feet.  He was moving well and I had just put on a new boot yesterday.  She did all those not wrapped and he stood well.  He has had his quota of bute and as of tonight is going cold turkey.  Jessy will be coming back to finish that foot after she once again, checks for an abscess.  Want to see how he is for the next two days.


More blossoms today.


My friend Judy stopped up and brought us a few treats for lunch.  We had the stuffed bread with  leftover pasta from yesterday,
Gary spent the afternoon working on the island garden.

I went to the library for bridge and stopped at Wegmans on the way home.
At 5:30 Little Wonder and I drove Gary down to the Welcome Center for Summer Serenades, then went back home and packed us a simple dinner.
Got down there around 7.
Tonight featured Mike and the Motivators.











So many of my pals support these concerts!
Home just before 9 and it was almost dark.
Not only was Rebel moving well, he and Buddy were running around (giving me a heart attack).







Little Wonder decided to go out with me and then waited on the porch. 
Night all.

Soaking

85, sunny and muggy today.



I took off Rebel's boot while he ate breakfast and let him go out barefooted.  Still gimpy.

After chores I drove down to Country Max to get more sole packs and some shavings...


and when I got home, brought Rebel (Buddy joined us) into the grooming room for a soak.
He always stands there like a champ and Buddy just watched quietly.



I had given him a gram of bute with breakfast and after getting rewrapped he was moving much better.

The farrier is coming tomorrow so she should be able to see if she can find a sign of an abscess,
Finn came up to help Gary scrape and prime the house (never ending)....made them pasta and a salad for lunch.

We had a great rehearsal this afternoon.  Next gig will be August 4th at the Brockport Farm Market.




We must have sounded pretty good, as Little Wonder fell asleep.
We went out for a sandwich tonight so no cooking.  Did not bring the boys in until 8:30 and it was pretty dark....some rain on the way.






Night all.

PS
I was able to stay away from the TV most of the day, but it looks like progress is being made.  Unfortunately, the opposition has been nasty, getting even worse.  Don't have a clue who will be the VP.
I do believe that JD was not a good choice for T and he is going to turn off a LOT of people.  Biden was fine tonight...let's see how the next 6 months go.
