Tuesday, June 9th

Grandpop and the boys worked on digging post holes for wood posts.  He was making a new pen area for more horses.  When they were almost finished with using the diggers, Grandpop raised the post hole diggers and forgot his back window was open.  The back window was broken.  Time for the tractor to go to the shop to get a new window!
We had meatloaf, cream potatoes, sugar snap peas (from our garden), hot rolls and ice cream.
Later in the afternoon we went to see about some horses for sale.  We came home with 2, Buddy and Hotshot.
Grandpop wanted to set some of the wood posts in concrete before panels were put up.  That chore was done early evening when it was cooler.

Mel patiently works with Hotshot and gets him in the trailer.

Arriving home with the new horses, Buttercup and Izzie are wondering, "What in the world is happening?"

A busy, exciting and tiring day on the farm!
