Clear Up & Clean Up

Last night the computer would not come on. It also says I can't post any pictures til I put them on a disk. As you know my skills are minimal, so I'll write-pictureless- until I acquire more skills.
We are in the midst of cleaning up and rebuilding. So many of our animals like to test fences and try to be where "the grass is greener." We have a lot of hay on the ground that needs moving to the upcoming garden.
Our after- Winter chores are keeping us really busy. We will be moving a few horses to their "summer camp" where they get to graze on sweet grass for a little while.
The vet is coming Friday and shots and check-ups will be given.
The Thrift Store really needs volunteers. Please, contact Helen and Ron if you can help. 530-712-7777.
Quest has been enjoying his freedom. He strolls up to us whenever he sees us. A scratch here or there and he's a happy boy.
Maggie B figured out how to open the gate and was clip clopping in the breezeway again. A chain around the post seems to have stopped her for now. She does, however, pound on the gate several times a day. She gets food each time (I know we are rewarding bad behavior but we figure she is telling us when her tummy is empty.) She can't eat hay and doesn't eat much at one time. Her several feedings a day without competition are helping her gain weight.
Posey and Bucky are still standoffish, but at least they don't run now if we walk by them.
Thank you to all our dear friends who expressed concerns about our liability issues. As you know, insurance companies are not horse friendly and we want to be way above compliance when it comes to safety. We have had no problems. We want to stay that way. Thank you for your understanding and continuing support.
