Yesterday Jim and volunteer Jess moved panels to redo the barn stalls after Larry from Wilson's Worms removed our manure. Today the rains came so Jim and I moved over 30 horses into a dryer spot.
We went outside at 7 AM and did not finish until after noon. Boy, are we tired, but all the old, cold ones are inside. Tiger Lily did not come in, but she was sheltering in the trees out of the wind and was not cold. Daisy and Lexi got blankets and the buckskins got put in a turnout with lots of trees and a wind break.
They explored every inch of their new home.
Lexi has a very sore foot, but Aaron and Jim couldn't find an abscess. She had pain pills, a pain shot and some antibiotics, but couldn't make it to the barn. She'll stay cozy with her blanket. If she's not better tomorrow we'll call the vet. Aaron will come back first and try again to find the abscess.
After a bite to eat for lunch I went to the Store for a couple of hours while Jim dug drainage ditches. We know how to have retirement fun.
Jim fixed a very special Valentine's dinner then crashed about 8:30.
Thank you Eileen G and Ursula and Walt C for your donations.
