Rosalie IN
Before going to mom's this morning the pregnant mares needed to be checked on. Neither of their udders have changed. We still have time. The 4 yearlings were very curious.
Rosalie was also watching.
Joan showed us the collapsing retaining wall at mom's that must be repaired on the work day.
After the walk I noticed the lone tulip at our house. Mark planted 50 bulbs a couple years ago of mixed tulips and daffodils. The daffodils came up but only this one lonely tulip.
I left then for Sam's club and found they had strawberries on sale a 2 pound box for $1.97
I sent out a family text and ended up buying 8 boxes. I also found grated colby jack cheese for $1.99 a pound but only in the 5 pound bags only bought it after googling if I could freeze it. The answer came back yes so bought the bag. I ended up buying 3 rotisserie chickens, one for Diane, one for Joan and one for us. The ingredients for haystacks were also purchased. A lot of the food was taken to the barn and put in the fridge there. Mark and I had some of the chicken for lunch. The rest of the chicken will be made into chicken salad. The day was so warm and sunny Dahlia, Cabo and Ayanna were put in the field next to Evan. They loved being able to graze on that new spring grass. Dahlia was taken first and she galloped around while waiting for the others.
Below is a video I only thought to take as she was starting to get tired.
Rosalie was taken out next as I wanted to see if she was in season. She didn't show at first, was more interested in grazing but as soon as she realized it was Evan went right over and showed.
He thought she smelled amazing, either that or he is saying, "wow does she stink."
Cabo was led over with the golf cart.
All three settled down to graze.
My next job was to unhook the stock trailer and hook up a camper. Today we wanted to take 2 campers over to Joan's as she has someone coming to check them out for rental. Mark came up to help with that.
Joan was mowing at mom's, Berlica was mowing at the barn and Mackenson was mowing at our house.
When we finished I needed to move Rosalie out of the pasture. She was not leaving Evan along so decided to get her covered.
She really wasn't in a good standing heat as she tried to kick but Evan got the job done even though she didn't stand well. I'll try again in a couple days. Cabo and Dahlia were taken into the stalls and grained and today they were left in there for a few hours. They were given fresh full buckets of water and plenty of hay. At 5:50 pm Berlica needed a ride over to Miguel and Laura's and when I got back they were taken out of the stalls and put back with the other 2. I moved a bale in the big paddock (used to be Raven's paddock)
Tomorrow the yearlings will be moved over and that way have access to the back field but the automatic waterer needs to be turned on first. Mike came tonight to turn it on and it wouldn't. It was on at the pit, just no water reaching the waterer.
Mike will need to take it apart another day, it was too late tonight. The yearlings were put back outside. They left a mess in their stalls but I didn't clean them, that will be done tomorrow. Dishes needed to be done and supper made.
Berlica wasn't sure where her mom went tonight. I explained they went to the home to see Dan sing. Berlica wondered what KIND of dancing do they DO at Skylines? We were both confused at that point. until I realized she thought I said dancing instead of Dan sing. Tonight was the pancake supper at Skyline's and Dan's group was going to be singing.
