Wednesday, June 26, 2013 – Runaround Day in Big Rapids

After a late morning, where I slept much better, thank goodness, I headed out with the truck to a car repair place, where the best they could do was to make an appointment for tomorrow morning. I did a little shopping at Lowes for some items to better fix our bamboo screen over the main door, and also found someone locally on craigslist with hay for sale. Hubby’s mare just doesn’t seem to be eating very well, and her weight has been dropping. We’ve added extra grain in the morning to try to help, but she’s really gone off this hay, so I wanted to see if I can find something softer and more to here liking. Made arrangements with one guy to pick up a bale from his work (he’s a cop) at the Public Safety Building. Met him about 1:30, looks like really nice soft hay, really green, so I’m buying this one bale to see if she’ll eat it, and if she does, he has lots more to sell. Headed back to camp, which is less than 15 minutes away, and immediately gave Clio a bagful of the new hay, and she tucked into it like crazy. Happy to see that, but will need to make sure she keeps eating it, and not just trying it out, before I get more. Settled in for the rest of day, still endeavoring to get caught up on our rest, looking forward to our first ride out in Michigan!
