Got up this morning to wait for the farrier to come shoe some horses. He was three hours late (not uncommon with farriers and vets - you just never know how long a job will take) so Dave and I moved all my tack into my new tack room while we waited. Then we trimmed both donkeys and put shoes on Mariah's front feet. I was so exhausted after that I slept for two hours, but was woken my by the baby ducks. I thought they were hurt - they were hollering - but when I ran to check, they were all fine. We got dinner and are now just waiting for the afternoon to cool off before we go do the evening feeding and a few other chores.
It got above 85 today and at this high altitude, the sun just beats down. Lovely, but by about 2pm it is intensely hot outside until around 7pm, when it cools down a bit. Luckily, out here it stays light till at least 10pm this time of year, so there is time to come in during the intense heat and go back out later.
