Happy Birthday Gary Skoog!

Gary did just what he wanted for his birthday.  After lunch Janet delivered a bag with 4 cards and a delicious dessert for the celebration.  The four cards were from Little Wonder, the three cats, Ronin, Seamus and Rebel and one from her!  I wish you could read all the messages!  So thoughtful and appreciated by Gary.
Morning chores as usual....and more rain (as usual lately).
Seamus was very anxious to get out of his stall this morning and had me worried as he had been pacing.






He got soaked and had rolled in the sand footing (indoor) so I went out to check on him.  Brought him into the grooming room and he was very anxious again....until I let Ronin join us.
Once again, Little Wonder got nice and dirty.
Sophie and Seymour spent much of the afternoon snoozing together on the back porch.

We had a 12:30 practice and took the time to work on proper tuning, balancing our voices and instruments and even started on a couple new songs.
I did evening chores a little early as Scott and Jenny were going to diner with us at the Holley Falls Bar and Grill.  Their treat....the perfect gift.

Called the ponies and Seamus seemed his normal self.
When they got in their stalls he started pacing again after finishing his grain and finally settled down and started eating his hay.  Janet kept tabs on him while we headed to Holley.
We all wanted the special fries they make there (with rosemary). I got a burger, Jenny and Gar got shaved steak sandwiches and Scott got shrimp.  Perfect for this cool night.


When we got back to the farm, Janet's dessert was waiting for us.

Night all.

It's Time For Some Chili

Another weird day.  Sunshine and rain....coolish.  Gary went to yoga and out to lunch and I did things around the house.  Lots of laundry, setting up a couple of bedrooms for company and a couple new mattresses.  Also went back out to the barn to wash windows before Gary installed them.





Every morning Gary comes out to the barn to do water and dump the wheelbarrow for me.  Today he also brought in shavings and installed plexiglass in all the windows.


While he was gone I made a big batch of vegetarian chili.

This afternoon Janet had a lesson with Dawn from the Renaissance Equestrian Center so I raked the arena before she got here.
Rebel and his pony were hanging out next to the indoor while Ronin was working.


The in -hand work they have been doing is really helping his body.




When I got back to the house, Sidney was sacked out on Gary's lap....he had been snoozing too.
Janet was teaching her Judo class and I put the ponies in a little after 6.




The inside of the barn felt so good with the plexiglass in the windows.


To the East.....
to the West.  I think we will be getting more rain tonight.  I'm worried about my pals (Billy and Alex) who live on the west coast of Florida with 3 horses, a donkey, dogs, cats and bunnies.  I couldn't handle hurricanes....will take the snow instead.

We had corn bread, a salad and the chili for dinner.  So good.



Night all.
