Jason and I just sat down and calculated a few fun facts:
-We are currently feeding 1,209 pounds of hay per day (geesh, no wonder no one is skinny!)
-We are currently feeding 128 pounds of feed per day
-We estimate that the horses are drinking about 290 gallons of water per day right now. This number will more than double in July and August.
-One gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds, so the horses are currently drinking 2,320 pounds of water each day.
These are the types of pointless thoughts that meander through my head as I go about my day on the farm!
Jason and Jo the fainting goat running up and down the driveway together. We know, we need to get a life, so no need to mention it!
Some of the big boys grazing on Tuesday. I will warn you in advance that there is nothing to see in this video except muddy horses grazing happily!

I had to take this picture of Lily; she was asleep, lower lip drooping, hind leg resting, soaking up the sun. Not a bad life at all.
