Girls, Garden and Starting the clean up

I went to check the girls water tank today, I didn't think they would have drank too much since it has been raining quite a bit.  But get a good brushing over them and check them.  I tried to take their fly masks off so that they could get some air to their faces but the girls were unhappy with all the flies bugging their eyes.  

So I put their fly masks back on.

Turns out Heidi's nose started to sunburn, so I slathered some aloe heal on it to heal up the skin, once it's healed I'll get the sunblock out for her nose.

Stormy was loving the scratching. 

I checked over the garden just to see how it is going, or not going.  Lots of our plants didn't seem to do too well this year. 

Green onions- well 3 came up in the whole box.  Poopy. 

A single Thyme plant.

Jess' red leaf lettuce just isn't growing very well either and the heat will get it eventually.

Even the cucumber didn't grow too well either.  Def not as big as it ought to be!

But big enough to grow me a cucumber!  

My two basil plants.  A sweet basil is doing decent, hopefully soon I'll be able to start plucking leaves to eat!  The Thai basil I am still unsure about, though it's not dead! Yet!

I took Tessa's pen down, moved the mounting block to the side and most of Heidi's pen is down now too.

Everything is stacked neatly against the barn for the mean time.  Next step start pulling down old fence wire.

Ponies safe now!

Heidi, Tessa and Stormy are all safe and away from my pasture and jerk neighbor.  It was one less stressor causing me some anxiety.  Hopefully Soon Tessa will have a new home as well.

These pictures were done with the camera Allen found for me of Craigslist up in New Hampshire.  The "Non working Pentax K200D"  I had wanted it for that telephoto lens but he got the body to work again.  It takes GREAT photo's!  I love it almost as much as I love my K5 II.  Tis a good thing I already promised it to Dad when he goes out west traveling or else I'd keep it myself or Allen would steal it back.  The telephoto lens- yeah I'm taking that one!  
 

Nothing much!

 

Just some random pictures from the past two weeks.  June is flying by!  I am hopeful to go get a roll of hay tomorrow for the horses as I am down to 10 bales(5 days) so hopefully I can find a supply of rolls to start feeding them.  

Bunnies are hanging out and snoozing through the worst heat of the day.  Miss Daisy snoozing hard here.  She didn't even notice me to open her cage and feed her, she was out for the count!

Hay Run

 I did a small hay run as I only have about 9 days worth of hay left.  I will have to figure something out, this will be tough to keep buying hay again all summer.  This hay was down in Kiddville so I drove down got it and came home.  There was a few 'holes' in the road so to speak on Nest Egg.  

Horses were not happy being thrown out of their run in so we could unload the hay.  But they got over it. 
Afterward, when Dad left to go mow Aunt Cathryn's, I started going through some stuff in my room so I can start to get rid of it!  I was waiting around inside for Noah to come.  Once he came I went ahead and wandered my way outside to the barn and started some cleaning in there! 

Bareback buddy!

 Lena came down this afternoon for a little bareback riding!  She doesn't like 'big' horses, the horse she rides in her lessons is 15 hands so Tessa was perfect size for her.  

So tomorrow will be the big day for Stormy.  She'll get measured and all sorts of treats and cookies and hopefully I will get her out of the pasture to measure her on the blacktop for an accurate height, her first Birthday is Monday.  It is truly exciting to see her grow up.  

Little bits of everything
