Fred Complains Again

Our farm house guests last night came because their daughter is practicing with a Farmington club doing silks. She asked if I knew what that was and was glad to say "OH YES!" Joan's girls all did the silks. I told them about Spark's fire truck parked in the indoor arena just for that. I had no idea there were clubs doing that and just a few miles away. She shared the pictures below of her practicing there. 


I walked out of the garage door at 7:30 am to see Berlica riding Harli with Merlin following walking down the lane. She was just taken a walk around the neighborhood and Harli was happy to go.
I got the phone out to grab some video of them.

I went to Sam's Club to get the food for tomorrow's meal.
The farm house guests were gone when I got home from Sam's so as soon as the food was put away, I went right to work cleaning the farm house. The 3 guests that stayed in the barn last night needed move over to the farm house. When I was done Tessa, her filly and Rosaleigh's colt were taken to the stall. The two foals were haltered then Rosaleigh's colt taken out of that stall and led to another. He is weaned but not used to being by himself. He is sold and will be leaving this next week so it is good to practice.
I took a short video to show the girls how he was acting.

This colt sure did inherit the mega hair of his dam. Check out that tail in the video above. He is 5 months old and that tail is so thick and long his owner is going to have to spend extra time on that as he grows. Tessa's filly was also haltered and tied. She is all pretty in pink. Her owner named her Lucy.
Mark was out working on a fence when I showed him a couple nails that needed to be removed. He was glad to help with that easy job. He really does have the tools needed. All of the laundry from the farm house as hauled over to the barn and I spent a few hours washing all of the bedding and towels from both the farm house and the barn. I was still folding sheets when Philip, Kensley and a friend arrived. Kensley borrowed the golf cart and Philip showed me how to take down the new basketball machine just in case I would need to do it by myself. It is a very large machine but folds up nicely and will fit in the coat closet in front of the freezer. Mark was busy washing his car.
That car is SO demanding. Our old cars didn't care if they were dirty, this car sends out messages that the cameras need to be cleaned, or the trunk was left open or it even tells on Mark if he forgets to shut a door. We are both getting texts from Fred (the car) daily. Yesterday Fred complained about the front end cameras and wouldn't even go the spend limit until Mark cleaned them. Mark helped me this evening to take down the big clock in the barn and put in a new battery. It takes 2 of us to put it back up. Berlica was mowing with the diesel grass hopper while Mackenson was using the push mower.

I'm so thankful they will do the job. There is a lot of mowing that must be done.
