The Real Friday

This is the first itty bitty egg from the young hens Tracey got for us. It is the prettiest shade of blue but it doesn't show up too much. The color I am talking about. It wasn't a whole lot bigger than a large robins egg.

It was very cool today. No rain but the coolest day we have had for weeks and weeks. I had to wear a sweatshirt when I went outside. It almost felt good but the summer weather is returning the first of the week.

We worked Carstens horses again. Bob is coming along with Blondie. If I could lift the saddle up on Target I would have had her saddled tonight. So she got bumped with it and smelled it and I carried it around her. Picked up her feet and cleaned them out with a hoof pick. Her front feet that is. I used the rope to pick them up but dropped it and just held them with my hand and picked them out. She was pretty calm about the entire ordeal.

When I went to put out horses in this morning after I got up and around, Ditto came and put her head in my chest. I don't know that she has ever done that. I need to spend more time with the old girl. Then Yuma got jealous and wanted attention too. He is so funny. His personality has sure changed since we took him to the horse show and he got alot of attention. Love that donkey.
