Good morning y'all. Coffee is ready. Yesterday we got a huge lightening killed oak tree cut town. It will provide a year's worth of firewood for our friend, plus we are paying him to cut it down, cut it up and haul it away. He had to cut away quite a few large heavy branches so it would fall in the right direction. And we have another lightening struck tree right next to a fence and gate that he is taking down. We have piles of used tin piled under that tree that we have to move out of the way. Both trees are in touchy places, taking them down is above our pay grade. LOL He is very good at making trees fall where he wants them and has taken down dead and dying trees for us around the barn. He is coming after work and will finish up on Friday. It will be good to get these two trees down so that they do not fall over some day and crush fences and the carport. That is our assignment this week.

Supposed to rain today and tomorrow, then sunshine returns, We have lots to do, garden needs work, horse barn and sheep barn needs cleaning out, need to disc pipeline and get it ready to sow grass seed. Need to sort out some ewes to take to auction on Saturday.

Thanks@Baymule!
Warmer this morning. Yesterday afternoon was lovely 60s. Got in the garden and cleaned up a bit, worked some of the ponies, then helped DH pull two of my trailer tires, they need new valve stems.
Horse chiropractoris coming this morning. School and speech. Might stop at the library, we'll see. My Dad wanted to come visit too. So a busy day.

Good morning all. Thanks for the coffee.

I wish we lived closer together. I've been cutting down a friends place for future drive and shop area for free. Need to go over there today and get another rick (all that fits on the little trailer) before he has the dozer come in. He said it'll be about a month. Cut the dead stuff up about 6wks ago for this years fire wood and saving the rest for next years. That and the neighbors the other year is the only place's I have to cut. So I've been doing it for free.
I also have gone out in the neighbors pasture to cut up old dead tree's for ready burning just to have wood.
Got a little ground work done on the filly yesterday. Doing some plowing with her before getting in the saddle again, since I don't have a round pen.

He does so much for us, it wouldn’t be right to expect it for free. He and a friend of his built our 36’x36’ horse barn. He built the lean to roof off the side of our portable building for a sheep barn. He has cut down quite a few trees that were too risky for us. We get out the ropes and tractor and help. We follow his directions, he’s much better at it than we are. He’s also VERY reasonable.

@CLSranch got any pictures of your filly?

Thanks @Baymule
Cool this morning. Checked bunnies already, all were fine. More bunnies due this week and next week too.
The horse chiropractor made it out. The pony's back was out in several places. Will see how he feels early next week, he was still sore/sensitive last evening but better. May need xrays... we'll see. Had ds' qh checked as but she was good. Good to know she didn't need adjusted.
Got two of my trailer tires at a shop, they needed new valves. Going after hay on Friday so would be nice to have my trailer good to go again.
