Fixed Fridge
The fridge at the barn had been turned off last night so on the way to the walk I stopped to put the ice maker back together and turn it on. I didn't have a lot of hope it was fixed but it was one more thing to check. I decided the mother's day flowers the kids gave me were ready to be thrown out so took them out to the dumpster but found the carnations, a few of the roses, babies breath and some of the other flowers were still really beautiful. Just then the garbage truck arrived. Diane asked the driver if he was married and when he said he was we gave him the still beautiful flowers along with the vase for him to give his wife. He was really pleased with them. We were coming up from Spark's drive when we heard a car and started moving off the road when Spark hit the accelerator and scared Ruth who screamed and scrambled off the drive. Ruth said she thought maybe his foot got stuck on the accelerator but Spark called right then to tease us, explaining now that mom is gone he doesn't need his sisters anymore. Obviously that was a joke and we laughed along with him. We reminded him of all he did also these last 4 and a half years, how he fixed the lift chair, installed new lights and lots of other repairs. After the walk I went home to cook breakfast. We had just sat down to eat when Dan sent a text that he was at the barn working on the fridge.
I went in to make sure the apartment was ready for the guests moving in today. The big job for today was to get the barn cleaned and ready for tomorrow. I had one bunk bed that still needed a sheet, gave the 6 bathrooms a good cleaning, cleaned up the game room, organized all of the sports toys and swept up any of the Asian beetles or stink bugs that found their way into the gym. The barn was used quite a lot over the last two weeks with so many people coming in for mom's funeral and then Faith's wedding. Star Temple and her Valiant filly were standing by the fence by the barn. The filly was curious to see what I was doing.
She is a pretty filly, her legs will end up black once the foal coat is gone. You can see 2 spots on her left front leg where the black is coming through.
This filly will be registered with FHHI as 50% Friesian 50% Thoroughbred once she is named. She should end up a bit over 16 hands and will have great movement. She can be reserved with a deposit of $1000.00 with the balance of $3000.00 due at weaning and pick up in September. Mike took a 4 wheeler out to Middle Grove this morning with the horse trailer. As soon as he got back we loaded Rosalie, her daughter Dahlia into the stock trailer then drove that over to the cabin field and loaded Disco. 
Mike and Diane drove to Western Hearts where Disco's new owners were waiting. I sent the picture below to his new owners letting them know he was on his way.
On the way back to the house Rosaleigh's colt was over talking to Evan but by the time I got the phone out to snap a picture he saw me coming and came running over for attention.
It was getting cooler and both Mark and I are too tired to drive out to Middle Grove tonight. We will go in the morning and join the campers out there.
