When you put 2 big doggies in the single cab farm truck, sometimes big brother makes little brother sit on the floor because the whole bench seat is his spot and he needs to stretch out. The boys helped me pick up feed for our neighbor and fill up the gas tank, just doing farm dog stuff.

When the 2 fluffy marshmallows that just got haircuts in August have to go back to the beauty parlor for a fresh clip because their winter parkas have regrown. They are each about 10 pounds lighter now, I shave more hair off 1 of these minis than I do my horse & the all brown mini combined, and they all get the same haircut!

It was a best friend's spa day this morning. Both girls got fresh haircuts since everyone is growing in their winter coats but Florida is still a toasty 90+. Our other 2 minis are due for haircuts again as well, fluffy little marshmallows.

Told the dogs we had to go to the feed store, load up in the truck. But 2 big doggies don't fit on the single bench seat if someone wants to stretch out, so that someone has to sit in the footwell... We've been stacking hay this morning, now we will stack feed bags.

Oopsies, had a tire separate from the rim on the tractor while moving the manure compost pile out to long term cooling. Luckily we had a spare in the garage! Gator supervised the changing to make sure we got the lug nuts nice and tight. Before I parked it up I did another little tighten just to make sure, plus checked the air in all 4 and gave it a wash. Now the chicken yard bunk is ready to be refilled, our girls do a good job flipping the surface.

Did a little project today. We generally hang fly sheets or blankets on wall hooks, depending on the season. But wildlife thinks they can make a house inside the clothes, plus they get dusty and dirty. Saw some ideas online and decided to buy a storage bin rack and do a little reorganizing in the tack room. It is super nice, the big 27g heavy duty totes fit in, it'll be real nice to not have mice chew up blankets in winter now, trying to make cozy nests. Next up is replacing that green wooden dresser. Wildlife also likes to live in it...

Well, it's summer coat shedding season already. 2 of our minis grow very thick coats even in summer so they got blown out with the air blower and their first "winter" haircut because its still 100 during the days. Both dogs think its great to be hanging out with the little ponies and get covered in hair and be brushed too.

Made the trip this morning to get our 2 trailer loads of hay. Stacked up our precious green bricks and parked the trailers where they go, all stocked up again for a few months. Thankful for our barn family that came out in the heat and helped us stack!

When you get new scritchy brushes installed and can barely wait to rub on them, ah what a feeling. I walked away to put the tools back in the barn, Angel had already rubbed on her new brushes to test them out. Trying out individual deck scrubber heads so when she rubbs the bristles out, I can replace a 7inch piece instead of a whole broom head with a bald spot only in the middle.

When you have to glue a shoe back on your old man but its been hurricane weather and very wet, so you set up your special work station of tools on the bench, he gets a special serving of yummy timothy hay to snack on while his foot dries next to the heat gun, groom him to pass the time, glue his shoe on, and dry his foot again to make sure the glue sets. Gotta keep him comfortable! Stockhoff's Horseshoes and Supplies

Sunny says this wet-dry-wet weather has her feet crumbling on the edges, she needs a tide-me-over pedicure to keep her sensitive feet from hurting too much until the farrier comes next week. Her human slave, I mean devoted staff, got out the farrier tools and cleaned her up as best she knows how. Luckily the staff feeds out a lot of cookies so Sunny tolerated the absence of a proper hoof jack and instead let the human support her precious horse legs with her puny human legs. Sunny guesses it will do, her feet look more like tidy horse feet, less like jigsaw puzzle cutouts.

We didn't know the plastic cover for the roof vent was broken and it's been raining a lot lately... luckily a new vent can be delivered next day by Amazon and Home Depot sells seam tape in store. Had to rip off the old busted vent, set the new one in place, tape the seams, voila. Good to go for a couple more years.

Had my top safety supervision crew out today while I mowed crop circles in the big grass pasture. Couple professional farm dogs stayed in the shade, its super hot again.

Caught the 3 suspected roosters having a little boys breakfast from the big chicken step on feeder. We think we got a couple boys in our order of chicks, these 3 all crow really loud now that they have grown up a bit. Closest to furthest is Connie the speckled sussex, Little Big Boy the mille de fleur something, and Foxy the red one who's breed I don't know. Connie is the nicest, I can almost pet him regularly Little Big Boy is the best boy, he talks the most, knows his name, he keeps his ladies herded back in at night and can be found cuddled up on a perch with them. Foxy is just really pretty and shiny red and probably the loudest of the 3.

Doing some drainage / erosion control improvements this morn. I needed to nip some rebar clips on the drain channels, luckily I have multiuse nippers on hands, good for trimming up horse hooves and odd project needs! King helped lay and inspect the drain fabric underlayer, such a good helper.

Took advantage of a wonderfully cool morning to put another new mower belt on. Because I haven't learned from all the previous times I've mowed over big sticks that snap and get caught in the belt when I mow over them.... oh well it's all belted and greased up again and ready to keep our grass all tidy.
