Two New Showers! Yippee!

More sunshine today!  What a beautiful way to start the morning.




While I was out doing chores, 2 Bath Fitter trucks arrived to demolish our old showers and put in new ones.  This is what was under the downstairs shower when everything was removed.

Corey worked downstairs and Ryan was upstairs.  They each dismantled and removed everything on their own....there was a bathtub upstairs and Ryan carried it down by himself!  Ye Ghads!  These guys were in phenomenal shape.
I supervised Little Wonder so he would not attack anyone.
We spent some time in the kitchen trying to stay out of the way.  There was an awful lot of noise going on while they were taking apart the old showers.

I went shopping for a new shower curtain and also bought a runner for the bathroom upstairs.   Will have to show photos when it's all set up.
Could not have been more impressed with the workmanship and the end product and would recommend them in a heartbeat.  Can't use the showers until 2:30 tomorrow...and boy am I dirty tonight.
I motivated myself to make another zucchini/onion pie around 4:30.  As per usual I did not follow the directions and added twice as much onion and threw in some cherry tomatoes.
While it was baking, Janet's horse (Ronin) arrived.  He trailered like a champ and is such a big, beautiful boy.


It took awhile for Rebel and Seamus to realize he was here.


There was the usual screaming.






Seamus was the calm one.

 
Ronin removed the mask off Seamus while they were both near the gate.

We put them in their stalls a little early, thinking it would allow them to get used to each other.  Janet stayed out with them and in a short time, called to say that The Rebel broke a board in his stall and the latch for his gate came off.  He and Ronin could just about touch noses across the aisle and that just was not going to work.  So I fixed the board and we decided to move Ronin to the huge stall next to Seamus.  That involved removing cob webs, cleaning the feeder and working on the bedding.  Tomorrow we will strip the other stall and move all the bedding so he will feel like he is on a cloud.  Seeing that he will only be here for a few weeks, he will be kept in a separate pasture and run-in.

Gary continued to work on the mulch pile and had an assistant.
The zucchini/onion/cherry tomato pie turned out beautifully.
Jenny had stopped up and I sent her home with a big slice.  We almost ate the whole thing.  1 big piece left for tomorrow.
I am pooped and headed out to check on the ponies.  Hope they are quiet.
Night all.

The Rebel iS Suspicious

We had a couple of pretty good showers today and the temperature went up and down.



I spent over 3 hours in the barn this morning as my friend Janet A. will be bringing her horse over tomorrow afternoon for a 4 week vacation and we wanted to get everything ready for him.  In September he will be filling a vacancy at a nearby dressage barn.
When I got back in the house I made myself blanch the bucket of green beans.
They are now bagged and in the freezer.
The first rain arrived before noon and all the gardens got a good drink.

At 1 I went down to the library for bridge.  What a day.  My partner and I were getting the best cards and we came in first.
On the way. home I stopped at Wegmans and when I was ready to leave there was a torrential downpour and I got a little wet.

There must have been some pretty strong wind while I was gone, as a big branch was blown down.
In a couple of days our yellow squash is going to be so out of control.








I drove Gary down to Summer Serenades at 5:30.  Tonight it was held at St. Lukes church because they were worried about getting more rain.  
I did evening chores and planned on going to the concert, but Gary called and said it was going to be live streamed....so I watched it from home.


The run-in and pasture by the grooming room were closed off today and Rebel knows something is going on.  He will find out tomorrow.

Little Wonder and I settled down by my computer ....
and I streamed the concert.
Tonight Hanna PK and her band really livened up the joint.  Wow!  I would have been dancing in the aisles.


Listen!





Can't believe I chose to take videos from home...have about 12 more!
Night all.
