…this would be one fine horse! About 2PM today, in walk Luke and neighbor Phil, leading two horses away from sure slaughter. The owner was going to ship them with some others to Mexico. We couldn’t save them all, but these two were sure worth the $250 the owner was asking for each of them. This roan will be ours, and the legs belonging to the other horse, along with the rest of her body, will be going to neighbor Carolyn across the river as soon as Luke can make sure she’s safe to ride.
Here Hilary is assuring Carolyn’s horse that things are fine now—no
Tacos de Caballos in her future! Hilary is just about to foal herself. Whether the young’n will be a colt or a filly is not known, since she and Luke want to be surprised. If I were a betting man, I’d put money on the kid being a colt, what with all the kicking it’s doing. Probably a potential bull rider. Or, we can hope, maybe a world-class blogger! Makes Grampa proud for sure.

The fish! What in the world is going on in that pond?
Yes the fish have changed hue and there are more of them. Are you feeding them too, Aunt Pat?
Hilary you poor thing. All the kicking isn't fun, is it. Not long to go now - yay! XX
I bought a whole new batch of fish. Nice, huh? Takes more time to feed, but I think it's worth it.
