We have arrived....

 And a river runs through  it. More on that  in a bit. 

Sunday we had helpers and all our stuff was out of storage and in the house by 11 am. Those guys worked hard!  

But let me back up a bit to last Friday. Ted and I  hauled the horse gear and some square bales  to the new place. While unloading I  made a bad step and sprained my ankle  hard. Ouch..... can't let that slow me down... much.... we had work to do!

So needless to say I was  happy that Ted called in some help for Sunday. 

Monday morning  it was time to haul Beamer to his new digs.  He didn't  want to load at first. Little did he know how much he would enjoy the new place! 

Beamer has access to part of the barn for his own personal space and he loves it! 

He has  plenty of  grass to  eat but he's  still getting  a flake of hay while he adjusts to his  new diet. 

The days are hot and humid so he spends a lot of time in his  stall. 

Very handy to have the best of both worlds huh Beamer? Snacking from the barn door! He is a very happy horse but he  will be happier  when I  get  his girls here in a few days . 

2 months of living in a holiday trailer was wearing a bit thin especially  because  we has two very hairy (shedding) cats in with us. Hair everywhere! Now  they are consigned  to the barn again. We kept them in for 2 nights then today they followed  me to the barn  and are now getting fed there . No cats allowed  in  the house here. 

They were so happy to get out of jail! 

Now for the "river runs through it part. 

That is the Medicine River and yes it can flood the bottom pastures here sometimes . 

The video shows the non horsey part of the  property . I will try for a video of the rest of the place soon. 

We are rather overwhelmed with the kindness of our  friends who have helped us make this move possible.  Shayla and Blake  in particular  have been so accommodating from caring for the horses to letting us plunk our freezer in their shop for the last 2 months  as well as putting us up in their holiday trailer  for a couple of weeks. And then Ted's  friend Brian letting us use his trailer for  the duration  of our homelessness! We are truly blessed in our friends. Also a hat tip to Rick and Wendy for being so helpful with the move as well as giving me Velvet! Ted's  brother and cousin both helped a lot in the initial move to the ill fated temporary  rental as well as helping on Sunday. They both drove a long way to come  help 😊

So here we are, we can breathe a bit but there's  still a lot to do!
