Hello, good to hear from you Beaker.
Such pretty horses, and flowers:)
We have been very busy this weekend. We’ve got all the big stuff in the dumpster, Charlie still has to sort thru the little stuff in the shop and decide what he wants to keep and what is trash. Personally I’d trash everything but the tools, but I’ve come to the conclusion that men have a thing about nuts, bolts, washers, etc, and just can’t throw them away.
He and Travis also got the the electric outlets that the ice storm screwed up fixed, and instead of just building some steps out the patio doors in the living room, they built a small porch there too. I’ll be painting it tomorrow. It’s really only big enough to set some decorative pots with flowers on it, but will make a nice scene to look out the doors at.
Tomorrow Charlie will fix the Vet so we can get it out of the shop, then sort the tools. We still have a ways to go to get it on the market but I’m getting more and more hopeful that we will get it on the market by July.

Beautiful horses.
How adorable.
They all look terrific. Looks like everyone is going to be in fine shape when the right people do call.
You guys are really making progress. I’d like to see the porch when you get finished.
Yes, they have a thing about bolts and nuts and such. My son buys them up at garage sales and Bob has coffee cans full of them.
He sure is a beauty.
Thank you.
Oh, I hope so.
Good progress, hard work! We had a good day here, puttering around the yard, finished planting my flowers, finally got all my winter porch tarpage taken down so I have a summer porch again. :~)
Tomorrow, I think we ride, in the afternoon, after all the weekenders go home. :~)
OMG, that’s a smooth gate. You can’t even see him change gear.
Oh, how cute.
Oh, and I forgot, I had a man come and look at Harley today. He seems interested, but you never know. He lives here is this addition. Remember where the big white dogs were, on that one curve coming out to my house. They guard the goats in that pasture. About a month ago, I saw him and several other men standing there in the fence on that curve getting horses shod, so I stopped and told him I had horses for sale. He called today and wanted to see Harley so I took him down to Charlie’s to see him. He knows this other person that I know and who knows Harley and wants to talk to him about if he thinks the horse would be appropriate for his needs. I’m about 100% sure he’ll get a good report, so I’m crossing my fingers.
Have a nice ride tomorrow:)
It’s been very hot and humid here. With all the kids here, I even turned on the AC.
Becky
Good luck on Harley. :~)
I’m hitting the couch... the sum total of the day is that I’m tired.!
Congratulation Miss Alison.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Harley is a great horse, I can’t imagine someone not giving a good report on him.
Thanks guys:)
I’m hitting the couch too for just a few minutes then bed. I’m beat. Last night I was in bed before the sun set....but I’m wore out again. Talk to you when I can.
Becky
Night guys, I’m right behind you. It’s been a long day.
Good morning.
Thunderstorms woke me up during the night. The wind was blowing hard enough that I almost got up to check the weather:) Of course I know this morning it wouldn’t have done any good, I’m not getting a signal because of the rain. Looking out the windows I can’t see that anything was damaged. It is still raining hard and thundering with lots of lightening.
Becky
Yikes. Sorry about that! I hope you’re OK out there!
What a rude awakening. My rude awakening was just dogs who all decided they needed out at different times.
Glad you made it through the night okay with no damage. Bad weather, hail stones and tornados through parts of Iowa I think - still haven’t found a good article on exactly who all was affected.
Rained here again last night and drisseling right now. This has been ongoing since last Thursday - pretty soon we will have moss growing on the north side of the sagebrush :)
