Busy

It's been a somewhat quiet week at the Sanctuary. The first day of summer, summer solstics, sure didn't feel like summer though. We had rain, rain, and more rain. I don't have the heart to walk out to the pasture to see how much of the bottom half is flooded. It raises my blood pressure every time I see water standing in my pastures thanks to people not considering their actions. I just hope that the rains we received also fell a little ways north to make sure that the hay ground received enough moisture to make the hay ground grow so we have hay and don't have to scramble to find hay somewhere else.


I am hoping that we can talk with my hay guy in another week or two and see what we can get worked out for a deal. Even if we had just one or two loads sitting at the Sanctuary, I'd feel a lot better. We have a few left over from last year but that's only because we lost Ivan in the fall and Bo in the early spring.


I've been swamped with work from the paying job so there really hasn't been time to do anything as of late. I forsee another week of being completely buried up to my eyeballs with work from the paying job so I may be quiet for yet another week. So much for being productive!


We did finally get the ponies out on grass earlier this week. They don't actually seemed thrilled. I think the flies are bad for them. With all the rain, they turned part of their little pasture into a mud hole. Luckily Mayhem seems to have settled down and she just hangs out in the shade and keeps an eye on the big herd.


So it's been fairly quiet and this weekend is going to be quiet as well for the Sanctuary. More family stuff going on so less time to work with the horses. I do have some good news I want to share and I've been meaning to mention it for awhile but can't seem to find the time. It's about Bo. I'm only now coming to terms with his passing and can talk about him without starting to cry. But I'll leave that for another post.


But until then, I think I have to get back at the paying job so I can try and stay afloat. Hope you all have  a fantastic weekend.
