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.
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.
