Kids Interview Kamala Harris (4 years ago) "It's stronger to be kind."

Hay Man!

Fortunately, it was a cool morning.

Rebel was soreish but still moving around.

I finished chores just in time, as Jenny, Coop and Finn arrived.....followed by Dave and 150 bales of hay.  Getting through the gate was a challenge and the wagon hit the corner of the porch roof.  Dave had to back up and slide over.  He did a great job without destroying it..

After that, he threw off all those bales....

Jenny, Coop and Finn carried them into the barn and Gary stacked.  I had prepared the space with pallets yesterday and just supervised today after locking the horses out of the area.

Buddy watched from the run in.

The hay is second cutting grass and it is gorgeous.

Everything was done in about 50 minutes.

Before leaving the barn Jenny and all the boys attempted to do chin ups on an iron bar.

Mr. Finesse got the truck and hay wagon out of the front paddock with no destruction.

A very fine crew....and they will come back one more time....maybe two....when I get the last of the hay.  At least that will be 40 bales at a time on a truck.  I really like having a years worth in the barn.

We checked to see if Cooper is as tall as Finn now.  Not quite.

Jenny is one strong cookie and finds jobs like this to be a piece of cake.

It was starting to get hot by the time we were finished.

Little Wonder snoozed this afternoon while I caught some of the olympics.

Dinner was minimal.  I made Mac and cheese with caramelized onions and fresh tomatoes from our garden.

Got the boys tucked in and took off Rebel's boot.  Tomorrow is Spa Day and I will soak his foot while he is getting groomed.  I'm sure he liked going naked.

Night all.

 

Sunset Social at Burlingame

Another beautiful day that got hotter as it went on.  The heat will turn up tomorrow as we are unloading 150 bales of hay.  Should not be too bad at 9:30am.

Rebel was still a little gimpy today, but walked all over the pastures....bute free.  As soon as he left his stall Buddy walked in to see if there was anything left in the feeder.

After chores I organized the big stall with pallets so we can put the hay there in the morning.  Jenny and Finn are coming up to help....maybe bringing a friend.

Did a little weed whacking and then watched some of the olympic coverage.  I used to be much more interested. 

At 6pm we went down to the college President's home for a dinner.  The people there all have some connection to the college and are very supportive of scholarships etc..  Always a very nice event and the weather was perfect.

We started off with appetizers in the house.

and then went out to a huge tent for dinner.

We were able to sit with friends and chatted until it was time to eat.

The President spoke for a few minutes and then

it was chow time.

We only knew about twenty of the people who were there.  Like Donna and Mike.

Linda and Victor.

Hanny, Bill, Margay, Ulpi, Dottie and Larry.

Dessert was different and such a good idea.  Make your own triffle.

All kinds of fruit, cake cubes, whipped cream and lemon curd.

Very fresh and delicious.

Home in time for evening chores.  Where did Buddy take off his mask?

Rebel was not back to normal, but was able to get around. 

Tonight Little Wonder was game to go out with me.  I would love to know why he has chosen to stay in a couple times this past week.

Night all.
