A Day Off

4/17/17 The sun came out and was 70 without wind, days like this are far and few between. I knew the forecast ahead and declared it a spring break day. I went outside at 8Am and didn’t come back in until 8PM. It was a glorious sunny day and I loved it. The sunshine gave me energy and I was motivated. I just started on one thing and kept going. I cleaned the entire shop, organized, swept, and threw away a lot of trash/junk. I went and got horse feed and sawdust. We got all 40 little chicks from Cory and got them all set up in a horse stall. I cleaned the outside chicken coop and got it arranged. On the very day we got all our chicks, my friend asked if I could take her 6 laying hens. Also a neighbor called to see if I wanted eggs because she has too many. Go figure. I told Jayden to invite the girls, Maggie and Jaynie over. It has been years since Maggie had been over. I think the girls needed that and had a great time together. It was just like old times. They even rode went for a horse ride and gave Jayden's weanling a bath. Jake helped do random jobs and Luke went rock picking with Po.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
