BACK in the barn this morning doing chores. It's another sizzling day. Lovely to have some extra hands. Hero was a good boy as I treated both his eyes before turnout. Hopefully, the darker fly mask will ease the light hitting his eyes.

TEMPORARY storage for some of the 160 or so round bales. We were busy laying down pallets and bringing some rounds into the arena. The hay barn still requires some work to make room for those big rounds. They are normally stacked end-on-end but these are just here temporarily. Weather will hold until Thursday so we are hustling to get 'er done.

"EVERY time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings"... sadly the little Robin passed away last night. It lived for almost 3 weeks after falling from a very lofty nest. It started to decline yesterday. Rapper has galloped up to heaven's gate to welcome the little bird who can fly high now, unburdened from nature's suffering. *Special thanks to Doctor A for providing advice and guidance.

CLOSE SHAVE... Chance got sheared very early this morning (7 a.m.). His long "Cushings" coat was removed to help ease his suffering in this extreme heat. Stephanie did a great job relieving Chance of his fur coat. I'm certain the old boy will feel much better in this heat.

HANGING in there. Wings of Hope are still with us. Now in the third week of foster care. I would have loved to have handed it over to our local wildlife rescue but they are no longer operating. Between the veterinarian and I, we are doing what we can. The little robin is doing well at home and sleeps on a heating pad at my bedside each night. It's appetite is good and it is alert. It sounds like a Robin instead of just chirping. Still having some balance issues so I'm hoping it will start to improve with the medication and time. Guaranteed, it would not have survived 24 hours out of the next. It was only about 2 days old guessing from the lack of feathering.

THAT'S a wrap. After much delay due to weather conditions, the last of our fields are cut, baled, and now going under cover. I don't have the full count, but at least 2,100 squares and probably 150 rounds. Boys are coming tonight to unload the last of the squares in the hay barn. It is/will be very crowded in there! Mow in the barn is jammed full. Last year we lost our entire first cut. This year we have a bumper one.

TWO days out of hospital and I strapped on a back brace and helped Bob unload a full wagon of hay tonight. Marie, Bonnie and Marilyn grabbed some gloves and helped too. I think Marilyn has always wanted to be a farm girl instead of a city girl so she has jumped in, literally, with both feet.

Just when I thought I could catch my breath, a howling coyote appeared in the newly cut hayfield calling to Clipper. Clipper sauntered over and entered the heavy bush. It was approaching darkness as I marched out there trying to navigate a path that no longer exists. There are so many large fallen trees to climb over. I called for Clipper and yelled at the coyotes. Marie, Bonnie and Marie had sent for Bob to look for me with the tractor. I couldn't find Clipper so I stumbled my way back through the dense brush and fading light of day. I started checking myself for ticks once I got back. Appears Clipper came back on his own. I presume the coyotes thought he was a large black bear and decided not to entice him further. Then they had to deal with a very mad momma - me!

It certainly has been a full day at the farm with chores, birds, unloading large squares and chasing coyotes.

THE barn humming along this morning with many senior volunteers. We have some new ones joining us. Special thank you this morning to Elisa who I finally got to meet. She pitched right in! She use to ride as a kid and made it a point that all her grade 8 students went riding on a horse at their graduation. She never missed a year! Horses too were an education for these children and a life lesson.

We have so many very interesting senior volunteers here who are once again giving back to society and the community of horses. Our veterinarian today complimented them on their work and support of the farm.
