Another rainy morning. After the rain stopped, Dusty left to feed a friend's horse and pick up feed. I cleaned up the house and went down early to feed since we were expecting more thunderstorms in the afternoon. I let Fanny and her calf out into the pasture after feeding her some grain. I gave the horses hay while in the horse barn. They are not pleased about staying up but they do not like the rain and the lots get so slick after the rain that we are afraid someone will twist a knee. After feeding I picked up the feed room and got a place ready for the feed. Dusty got back just in time and we unloaded the feed.

I walked around the yard a bit to see how things were looking. The grass is getting pretty high, hopefully I can mow tomorrow if it is not too wet. The Iris are blooming as well as the Clematis. The honeysuckle and Wisteria are beginning to bloom too. The little trees I sat out are leafing out. I got in just in time for another shower. The Canadian Geese are having a good time in the pastures but they sure are noisy.

It seemed to clear up late in the afternoon. If we get no more rain today or tonight, hopefully I can mow tomorrow.
