Hay! It's Hot Here!

It's still spring, but it feels like summer in Indiana. It was 89 degrees yesterday and the humidity was sky high!  

There is a ten acre hay field by the entrance to our neighborhood and the first cutting was just finished. No rain is expected in the near future, so that hay should dry quickly in this heat and be ready to bale soon.

Yesterday I headed back to Teacher Daughter Lisa's school and dropped off some cookie bars for her students.

They had been so respectful and kind when Pepper and I were there last week, I made them chocolate chip cookie bars to enjoy.

Next I headed out to the barn. Despite the heat, the horses were out in the field eating but they came right over when I pulled up by the new barn and parked my car.

Hokey loves water, and he began playing in the trough.

I grabbed my camera, and of course he stopped. Still, I got this short video of him messing about in the water.


Abby came over for a drink next, but she looked a little disgusted at the grass and clover that Hokey had left behind. But she got her drink, too.


I love how her ears twitch back and forth as she drinks!

Pony Pal Kate asked her mama to send me this picture of her as she headed off to school yesterday morning.


It was Idiom Day at her school and the students were invited to dress up as their favorite idiom. (What a clever idea for teaching them about idioms! Kind of wish I were still teaching so I could borrow it!)

Can you guess which idiom Kate has chosen? Put it in the comments - I'd love to hear your guesses! I'll reveal the answer tomorrow. 

Stay 'tooned!

  1. What a cute way to express idioms! And the chocolate chip cookie bars look scrumptious!

  2. One of the kids liked the cookie bars so much, he asked me to share my recipe. I said to turn the Nestle’s bag of chocolate chips over and use the recipe there. That was what I’d used. 😊
