Sun and No Pictures

A glorious day today for us, but a horrendous day for those in the earthquake area. Love and prayers to everyone.

After morning chores, Jim had an appointment with a friend in Chico and I had the whole day to putter around the house. I didn't take pictures because I didn't think you'd care to see dishes, laundry, mopped floors, etc.

We let out all the horses except Quest and Bobbie who were mightily insulted at having to eat tons of food in a nice stall and turnout.

When I was putting horses away Maven and Cliff Claven Raven were sitting on Quest's back pulling out tufts of hair. He seemed to be enjoying the attention. The ravens have been residents here for over a year. They make the most delightful clacking castanet sounds with their beaks. They travel in a pair and are always together.

Tomorrow Jim and I are supposed to be on KZFR 90.1 from 3-5. Haven't heard from the station this week, but we'll show up and see if they still want us. We'll be talking about the Sanctuary, the Thrift Store and lots of other things equine.

More rain is due and we will put the rest of the horses in tomorrow. We have not been able to get the promised roofing material because of muddy roads. By next winter we should have several new sheds.

Maggie B loves the new feeding regimen. I feed the calves some grain, then hold the bucket with grain and rice bran for her. She only has three chewing teeth, so she doesn't get much nutrition from hay. She likes that she can take as long as she wants to eat. We do this morning and night.

After any tragedy we need to be so grateful for each and every day. We need to celebrate the goodness around us. We need to appreciate the people who make our lives good. We need to be alive at the moment and do the very best we can.
