Maddie Saturday Plus Around the Farm a day early.

Maddie has been hanging out lately. Not much going on.

She did, however, do some trotting in her paddock yesterday.




Around the farm, however, barn building has been delayed for various reasons.
Supplies are here, barn pole holes are dug. Builders & permits are behind schedule.


Nevertheless Laurie has post holes dug and filled with gravel.
She attached her auger and made holes.


Dropped posts in and filled the holes with gravel.



A good day's work done.

Maddie’s coat is so pretty and shiny!

I’m amazed constantly at Laurie’s ability to get so many things done. She is a wonder! Mr. Diamond loves that post hole auger! Our post hole digging system involves 3 adult sons.

I wonder how she accomplishes all that she does!

And her tractor is like a Kitchen Aid mixer, an attachment for everything!
