Splendiferous!

It was so gorgeous today I even passed on drumming....

 The blankets were not on the girls for long this morning.  The sun was bright and there was no wind.

A good opportunity for some grooming (which we did in the paddock).

 Moon had a short workout in the indoor.  She is such a smart little cookie.

 Gary had put the pups in the back yard, where they (and Seymour) waited for me to finish up.

When I got back in the house, there was an email waiting for me from the other Lorie regarding hay.  There has been a shortage around here and it has tripled in price.  A nearby farmer had 500 bales of first cutting available at $6 per bale.  Lately it has been as high as $8...normally around $3.50. Anyone who did not buy a years worth during the summer months has lost out. 

Anyway, we decided to go see it and thought it was very nice.  Lorie called a friend to borrow a truck...

 and within a short time it was stacked up in the loft.  What a find.

 The fields and pastures are in pretty good shape, but we are supposed to get some rain tomorrow.

 That should get the grass growing.

 

While I was out back I picked the pasture. 

 

 Didn't do evening chores until 6:30.

It was 50 degrees inside the barn.  Sweet.

There must have been a lot of rolling going on this afternoon....piggies again.

 
 Asparagus was still on sale so I made "biggasalads" for dinner. 

 (I think Sharon Creech would say that).

Night all.

PS

Regarding the Florida Delegation...they are livin' the life down there.

 What a change of scenery from Brockport!

Keep those pictures coming.....
