Another busy day.

Hello all. 

After working out and drinking a shake this morning I got in my pickup and went into town.  I had errands to run.  I bought hay to supplement what I have.  Then I went to the farmers market to get some more of those wonderful tangerines.  The woman didn't have any so I bought some navel oranges from her.   The citrus here is wonderful.

Then it was off to Home Depot.  I had to buy an aerator for the bathroom faucet that was driving me crazy.  Water would splash everywhere..... now it's a nice even flow.   :)

A few other things, then it was off to the healthy market so I could stock up on groceries.  The total was around $200 but I'll be able to eat for over two weeks now.  All organic of course.  Actually, what made the bill so high is the purchase of probiotics and supplements that I was out of.   They can be quite pricey, but I assure you, they're worth it.  I truly believe it's one of the reasons I have no aches or pains at 56 years old.   I'd rather pay now to feel and be healthy than pay doctors later.  

After I got home and put away the groceries, I unloaded all the hay, gave the horses some, and then did my daily poop pick.   I also picked up all that discarded hay that my horses ruined. (Grrr...)
It's makes the paddock look better too.

Last night I used hay nets for the first time and they did make a huge difference.   Will and Lily actually had to eat ALL of the hay to empty the bag.  They couldn't just pick out the stuff they like. 

After the poop picking I chatted with my landlady and her daughter.   My landlady is one of the people involved in making the Pa-Rally thing here in Florida happen.  It takes the place of the old "Rendevous" the Parellis had.  It should be a really fun thing and I know I'll meet so many people. 
My husband and son will leave to go home next Saturday so I'll attend the Pa-Rally on Sunday and probably help to clean up on Monday.

After chatting I did more yard work (I got the front bed totally weeded and mulched), then put Will and Lily into their night-time paddock and called it a day.

It's funny.....not until I was putting the horses in for the evening did I realize that I didn't eat lunch today.  Hmmm..... how in the heck did that happen!??    I'm surprised I didn't get hungry as I've been limiting the amount of food I eat anyway. 
Strange. 

I was really hungry for dinner though...    :)

I also forgot to drink water today.  I'm so bad about that, but I'm trying to get better.   And I heard on TV that you can burn 500 more calories per week if you drink "cold" water.   So that's what I'm gonna do from now on.    :)

Going to bed early.   My bath felt really good and I want to get up early so off to slumber-land for me.
