Wow, what a day !! It was almost as if someone up there was just waiting for us to poke our noses out of the barn door then it DUMPED ! Its pretty tough when I have to resort to wearing a plastic bag on my hair, I looked like a drowned rat all day. We had rain, hail wind and sunshine and that was all in one hour. We lost the sheep ! There they were, pasture maggots all over the field (incidently, NOT their field, they just took themselves for a walk into the horses field) and the next time we checked, there they WEREN'T !!! Of course, true to course just when the worst rain /hail/ wind storm blew up off we went to find them. Hassan (the Terrorist) saved the day. Hassan is a beautiful little bay arab, currently going through the terrible twos which is stretching into the even worse threes. He is beauty with an overdose of attitude, he belongs to one of our boarders and we love them both. Hassan came to the conclusion that enough was enough and sharing his field, and even worse, his grass was NOT acceptable. Hassan set to rounding them up, he ran round them and headed them off back to their fence line, when they evacuated his field he tossed his pretty little head and trotted back to continue munching. Sad to report, it looks like Mom and Pop Canada Geese have given up on their eggs this year, she has been sitting for several weeks but seems to be taking more and more time off the nest. Gertie continues her love affair with Quest (the shire horse) we wonder what she will do when Mom and Pop migrate this Autumn. The heritage turkey chicks arrived at the Post Office, two days old and all the way from Texas. Its amazing to think that those cute poopy little things grow so big (and tasty !). Got to go, take care. M
