Hey, there! Or is it hay there? I feel like that's all that's happening here at DiaMond D these days, throwing hay! It's been sweltering heat and unloading 478 bales off of wagons has not been fun. Maria and I are exhausted! However it has to be done right?

We have had a busy breeding year this year. One of our two-time breeding mares came for a third time with the most beautiful, black as coal, with 4 white stockings, molly! Thank you Mike Davis for allowing General Bob to try for a three-peat!

Our living quarters trailer is almost complete. Beth & Bruce Bell have been doing a magnificent job installing cabinets, AC, circuit breakers, you name it! They are fantastic! Visit their website for Bell Carpentry at www.bellcarpentry.com. They will treat you right as well as do fantastic work. Shout out to those guys.

On some other news, we have decided to not go to Shelbyville, TN this year. It was a tough decision to not go to our World Show and Mule Extravaganza, but trail riding in our new LQ seemed like more fun! Good mules, good friends, and great trails. We are heading to East Fork Stables in TN instead. Can't wait.

Well that's it for now.
