Noisy Singing
We had another beautiful warm day. It's cool first thing in the morning but by afternoon it warmed up to 76 degrees. I had guests moving into the foaling apartment so went over early to make sure it was ready and turn the lights on. Mike arrived with his 4 wheeler to work with Denver a bit. Denver is such a nice looking gelding. He is 16 months old and almost as tall as his 16.2 hand mother. He will be gorgeous as a 2 year old. Mike does not want to sell him. Below he is teaching him to pick up his hat.
He took him for a short leading session into the field using his 4 wheeler.
Mike decided to take his dam Bulu out and let Denver run free.
Before putting them in the paddock next to Valiant I needed to move a bale in. They were not happy in the middle paddock as they were staying away from the other 3 horses. After Mike left I worked on the apartment then went to the barn to make sure no bugs got inside. I found 1 spider and 2 small crickets and NO stink bugs. I am still getting stink bugs in our house but much less than last year. Mark sprayed around all of the buildings this year twice and it really is doing the job. Mark put up drip guards above the South side people door. I think this might be the last door. We are happy with how the other 2 doors are keeping the rain away from the entrance. We don't get dumped on when trying to leave. Anna arrived this afternoon to get the party decorations up. This evening Taegan and Kensley are having a combined birthday party and invited their basketball teams.
Taegan is 14 on the 30th and Kensley turned 12 a few days ago. They wanted to have a pumpkin painting party.
Mark wanted a hair cut this afternoon and that is done out on the deck. I took a lot of today.
That is exactly what he wanted.
We left then and went to the Bartonville dinner for an early supper then grocery shopping at Aldi's. We bought $99 worth of food and only brought back 4 bags. I didn't even buy any meat. I really am thankful to live in such a beautiful place. The birds are a little noisy but even they are singing joyfully each morning.
