Hi everyone Thought I should check in . Got back from Illinois doctor visits two weeks ago tomorrow. Had three appointments, but one was cancelled as roads were closed with flooding. A first for me.
Came back with Mom. She is in her own house just 600 feet down the road. My niece and her DH will will be there most of summer. Niece's DH is fireman and save his OT up all year so he can fish most of summer. Niece comes on weekends and vacation days so some one is usually sleeping in house. I am back and forth from my house, barn and Mom's.I am spending more time outside no and not so much on computer. Much outdoor work needs doing, which is still taking much more time than pre-accident, and I can only do in little increments, if at all. Still trying to find some strong help but every one is busy this time of year so no luck yet. Really need someone to weed whip.
Have found plenty of hay (he has 2000 bales and I have 33 in barn now) and need to decide how much of it I should get. I need about 2000 for winter. It is first crop, pretty well cured, nice grass hay but not as high protein as I like. I really like to feed second crop but do not know if we will get second crop or how good it might be.
Lessons have started, have had no trail rides yet and just a couple of pony rides.
Have read and tried to keep up. Hugs and good thoughts for those with issues. Congrats and "Happy's" for those with B-days and milestones. Commiserating with those who have had setbacks.
