Well, it's not really all that horse related, but here's what we did yesterday after I played with Tonka.
I took the mats out of the trailer to check the floorboards. I did find a couple small spots of rot. Nothing that needs to be replaced immediately, but it bears watching. Why don't people paint the boards to seal them from moisture? Not worth the effort? Seems like it'd be a good idea to me...

Meanwhile John was being a pyromaniac. We did get a lot of old brush and fence burned in a short amount of time though!

Katia enjoyed a good book, a hot fire, and a warm cat. Mama Cat (we didn't name her, couldn't re-name her before we got in the habit of calling her that. She is fixed.) is probably the friendliest cat in the known universe. She even lets me clip her bald every spring to rid of her mats. Which I will have to do as soon as it's warmer...

Liam found some black walnuts, which he called coconuts. John broke them open so he could see the pig nose inside.

Mama Cat "helping" Katia read her book.

Here's the second hidden nest I found yesterday. I wish they'd use their nesting boxes. I must admit though, it's kind of fun making a discovery. At least right now when the eggs are sure to still be good. When it's hot out and you have to toss them all, it's depressing.

And finally, here's Bella's bag. Not too impressive just yet, but nothing to scoff at.
