Summer tends to be busy for me.
More daylight means more time to do outdoor things ---
This summer has been extra busy it feels like, but maybe it's just he getting older thing/ time going faster that is happening instead?
Foal update: Both colt and filly are doing well - growing and filling out nicely.
The filly, Cricket, younger by a week - has had a baby coat shed and she is definately a grulla - exciting! She sometimes appears almost gunmetal blue. Last week she had a procedure to fix an umbilical hernia. We chose to go to a vet that has a reputation for having good outcomes for such things and we are glad we did. Turns out there was a weak area in addition to the open spot that he went ahead and worked on. Glad we got that done younger than older! She and her mom will be in a smaller pen by themselves for another 2 weeks or so. Mom is vocal and calls to the other mares who are on grass down by the house.
Hemi, the colt, still has not shed out his body. His legs and points are getting very dark, but his body still has the light color he was born with. Still think there is a possibility he will be a grulla, but not going to say with certainty, yet.
The chance of having 2 out of 2 foals that are grulla/grullo is crazy small, it kind of blows our minds :)
I've been weaving, just not as much. Also had a 36 inch wide warp on, and those rugs take longer to finish up anyway. Just took the last of those off and will try to get a new warp on in the next day or so.
Fall shows are starting up. Next three weeks I have scheduled events.
Grandbaby should be showing up sometime first week of October - we've been doing the house projects as fast as we can to try and keep the mom to be happy, lol.
Sharing a few photos of recently finished rugs...
All for now,
JULIE
PS Also have new employees at the ranch...
3 new weedeaters named Uno, Dos, and Tres....
