I know you're probably all excited, but no, no foal yet. Anna fell asleep this morning with a mouthful of hay, standing up. Completely asleep, eyes closed, nose in the bale. It was one of the funniest things I've seen this week.

Ellin performed very well this morning. She went 1.6 miles with full tack and a 50lb. Ms. Bluejeans aboard. Not only was she nonplussed by the weight, she stopped and looked at it a few times when it shifted, as if to say, "Something's wrong here people!" The lady likes a centered rider. She also deigned to take a bath this morning. The hose does feel great after a workout! Ellin has collected her first fan, a female Newfie probably less than a year old. The puppy follows us all the way home and hangs out until Ellin is put away. She doesn't bother anyone and even curled up next to Lollop's cage this morning.

The Farm Goddess played 9 holes of golf yesterday and had a great time. I'm probably the only player who spent more time on the 2nd hole reading the horses in the adjacent pasture than reading the course!
