I'm off this week, and I accomplished some projects I really wanted to get done. :D
1. I finished the Black & White Splash :wink:
2. The stalls were cleared out, then one cubic yard of soil was moved from the back of a truck--into wheelbarrows--into the stalls. It was then tamped down and everything was put back in... and I did it all-by-myself while Mark was at work. He was impressed and wanted to feel my muscles. :wink:
Here are two out of the five stalls I added to: the mares' luxury suites. Gypsy only sleeps in the very back--so I piled all her shavings and straw back there.

3. Mark rolled the pastures!

4, Jenny, Justin's girl, and I put all the white tape around the pastures where foals will roam. It took two hours. (I feel it helps them to see the wire fence and helps to keep them on the right side of that fence. Foals stay in the paneled pastures until they are at least a week old. )
