Summer, our horse finds a new home, greenhouse update and Quilt-a-Fair 2018

It has been very busy the last two days. I am looking forward to Sunday and just resting, reading, and crafting. (Dude will be watching football)

We cleaned up the greenhouse. Dude managed to put up a trellis for the beans and waters the greenhouse regularly. We have been blessed with very warm weather. 

Here is some of what is growing inside. 






Yesterday we sold Summer. Dude won't be able to ride for at least a year and he wants Summer to be able to be ridden.  She is too valuable to waste her  talent.


She had breakfast with her sheep friends.


She was not happy to go.  She stomp and grunted.  I went over to talk to her and she leaned on me, kind of to say- take me for a walk!


The branding inspect came. He was late, saying it is a very busy time of year. 


Her new owner is extremely gentle with her and loves her potential as a trail rider. He was able to calm her down to get into the trailer. 


She had the trailer swaying back and forth. 


Summer was gone and ready for her new home in Colorado Springs. Dude was a bit down and talked about her the rest of the day.  I headed to the city to work. 


This weekend Quilt-a-Fair celebrated it's 40th Anniversary at the Boulder Fairgrounds. I couldn't miss it and definitely wanted to be a part of it.  Colorado Quilt Council puts it on and the mostly women that pull this thing off are amazing! The work they put in (plus a lot of them work) is far beyond what I can do.  I did help for a couple hours with the auction today. Here is a peak of the day. 











 After that we did head up to Longmont to get a month or so worth of grass hay for the sheep.


We unloaded the hay when we got home. 

I stopped to chat with the turkeys. 


And while out with the turkeys I checked on the butternut squash. They are looking great. 


Eggs are collected.  Time to settle in with a bit of yarn and a snack. 

peace
