Thunder Lightening and Rain

It was a grey wet day. I did work Sage a bit in the rain. Not fun for either of us. I put the step stool on the other side and it was going to eat her for a few minutes. I was letting her eat on the edge of the lawn for a few minutes and Bob walked up with an open umbrella. I thought she would leave in a hurry but she just snorted and looked at it and went back to eating. Who knew?

Bob put new brakes on the truck and the rest of the day was just ordinary stuff. Trying to get stuff put away and organized. I am not a real organized person in the house. I need a housekeeper and a maid and a cook and an organizer. Hows that for requests.

Life is just same ole same ole this weekend.

Sage and I

Finally, Bob was home early enough to take some pictures for me. I sat in the chair and Sage grazed on the edge of the lawn. She was so good. She got a little excited once when Emma got excited about something. Other than that she let Bob pet her and he moved chairs around and she just watched him and went back to eating.
I was telling her to just relax. She said OK and did.

I even moved the stool around and she smelled it and let me. She lets me take a hold of her mane when I step up to balance myself better. I rubbed her on both sides of her neck and up and down her back.

Then I leaned across her back and rubbed her other side and leaned some weight on her. She did not move at all. I was ready to do a happy dance. I love her more every day.

This is Liberty eating on one side of the row of trees and.................

Ditto on the other side. They are never far apart. Cameron is coming tomorrow to work with Liberty. She will make him a good horse if he sticks with it. Tyler should have been riding her but was just scared to swing his leg over. He sat sideways in the saddle and waved his arms and she just stood there. He did not know any more about horses than Cameron does.

Mostly worked in the house today. So much to accomplish before Sharon comes. I want everything nice for her. It was more humid today. Contrary to what my sister says about not trusting air they can not see, I hate air that feels like that. Hot hot hot but am not complaining.

A Hot Day and Mustang Club Meeting.

It was hot enough today I did not feel like spending a whole lot of time outside with Sage. I did one turn at the stool and a time outside eating a little grass. Katie and Cam came and she let them both walk up to her and pet her. I warn people to pet not pat. She does not like to be patted. She jumps away. She was calm and quiet for them. She moved away from Cameron some. She is much more fond of female persons.

Our meeting tonight was okay. Not a large attendance but it was alright. I gave a financial report from Mustang Days. We did good. Our next meeting will be a BBQ at our house. Everyone is welcome. It will be Sage's coming out party. We will provide meat for burgers, buns and stuff to put on them. Everyone else who comes can provide salads, desserts, chips ect. If you are coming and need directions, let me know. We also planned a ride on August 14 at Marie Creek just east of Couer d'Alene. If you are coming, let me know and I will give you directions. It is an open ride for anyone who wants to come.

Steve got the inside of our front porch nearly completed. All but the floor and we have not decided what we are putting down yet.

Sage - Raspberries - Baby

I was standing on my stool beside her. She does not mind too much. She was even better with me moving it around.
Her beautiful hip from up above. I rubbed her back clear past the white spot. She moved away a little but mostly, she just stood there.

The view from up above to the ground. Quite a distance. Almost as far as if I was on her back.

In the spot just out side of her pen. She was eating but watching out of the corner of her eye.

My pretty girl grazing on the lawn. She did really well until she eyed the lawn chairs. That made her jump away and jerked the rope out of my hand. She went back to her pen in about 3 jumps. I went after her and led her right back up there. She snorted at the chairs but did not jump like that. She tried once but I gave her a good tug and she stopped and came right back up to me. She ate a little more and then I started back to her pen. I would not let her rush. Just a few steps at a time. She is getting better. We need to get past the spooky lukey stage. She wants to trust me really bad but sometimes she just can't do it.

This is about a pint of raspberries. They are so good. I wish I had some ice cream to put them on. I will finish picking them tomorrow.

AND this is the newest member of the family. She is mostly Jack Russell. Bob rarely asks for anything for himself. He fell in love and really wants her. She will be with her mother for about two more weeks. Bob is not so original when he names something so it will probably be something like Spot or Lady. LOL. I think we do not need another little dog but I have Skeeter and he wants a little friend too. He promised me that when we lose Maggie he won't get another big dog. She is a great dog but he wants one he can take with him places in the car.

That was my day.

Blessings.

Redo and Horses

Part of my paint crew. Bob and Jade supervising.

Chrissy, the other part of the paint crew. They are doing such a good job and I love it.

Last week I had a hole in my floor, this week it is in my laundry room in the ceiling. He should sheet rock it though tomorrow.

This is where the hole in the floor was. Just has to be mudded and painted. Its coming.

Steve getting ready to make a second hole in the ceiling. This one in the kitchen. Both places are where there was a leak. Made a big mess.

Wrangler when I went out to put them in off the grass this morning. He came right away. He is a reall good boy.

I haven't posted any pictures of Rusty in a while. She was not going to go in for me until I yelled at her. She is such a pretty girl. I wish someone had her with the patience to get her going good.

I wish I had pictures of Sage this morning. I took her out of any kind of pen to eat grass. She was nervous at first but then did fine and lead back in like she had been doing it forever. Three cheers for my sweet girl. She gets better all the time.

More Airplanes, No Horses

The airshow is over and it was wonderful.

Too hot to do much outside except take a few pictures. My kitchen is nearly completed. I can say hurrah.

Blessings

More Airplanes

It is hard to get the camera to focus. They move so fast.
There were six planes in all. F6 - can't remember his name but he graduated from high school here in Spokane. They just are so awesome.

I called the little plane the bumble bee. The two planes flew around like that for several minutes and then another older plane but in between in size joined them. It was pretty cool.

This plane carried the paratroopers but we could not see them from here. I have seen them come tumbling out before though.

Our "granddaughter" Katie and her fiance Cameron. They came to watch the planes from here. They got off work at 1:30 so just made it.

This is Ike our oreo steer. I love how he looks. Did not see the quail when I took the picture.

Raven contemplating on whether she was going to go to shade or stand there for her nap. She is such a good girl.

Emma watching the dog play. She is the best trained untouched horse. She does whatever I tell her with body language but she won't let us touch her.

Sage. She has shade and was enjoying it.

They were hanging out in the yard today. Probably because we had sprinklers going. Poor little birds get so hot. Love the quail. We call them suicide birds because they run instead of flying and I hate hitting them with the car.

Hope your weekend is blessed.
