Mr.s , Zang and Gray were ready, too. Hey!! Where's the food?
Ben Barncat came out for a good morning and a reminder to fill his dish.
Belle is still having trouble moving. Apparently, it is not pain, but a movement issue. She just can't get her back legs to do what they need to do. 
The upper turn out only had a few horses. Tiger Lily and Skittles are having a discussion about who gets to eat first.
As I drove down the side road I began to worry. Where are the horses? I worried that someone came in and took them. I probably should worry that someone will come in and leave a bunch. That's been known to happen. Folks wake up with several new horses in their pastures.
About 20 of them were way down by the lower well, standing in the dried up pond. It is cooler down there and after yesterday's scorching weather I guess that was the coolest spot on the ranch. They meandered to the fence when they heard the tractor.
Everyone present and accounted for and no new faces. Whew!!
The hay trailer is empty. Time to get a load. We just took the truck for a load today but will get a trailer load tomorrow.

Careful, Lyle.
Jim is the sideline coach.
Lyle is having his house remodeled and we got to take a tour. It's going to be very nice.
We met Luke Messenger a while ago when he came to get a load of hay with his draft horses and a wagon. He's doing a great job on Lyle's house.
We came home, traded trucks and set off for our favorite feed store. This is the color of the foothills in Northern California in summertime. Golden waves of grain is so true.
Here we are- Tractor Supply Company in Oroville.
Manager Brian Bender and Jim discuss what we need .
They are always good to us. Thanks, everyone. See you soon.
It's not over yet.

Tonight Rosie has a swelling under her jaw and Maggie B has been listless and not eating for two days.
I had hoped it was the heat, but Jim says Maggie has a swelling, too. Both girls are old- Maggie 30+ and Rosie in her mid 20's. Let's hope they will be like Babe who didn't feel good for a while but never got really sick.
Thank you to Jan C., Dorothy J and Naomi J for your very generous donations. You are truly horse angels.
