Yesterdays travels went well. We drove about 4 1/2 hours and started work. Robbie and Hunter well soon wisked away to the B & B that we woukd be staying at that evening to eat and watch tv. I worked on nearly 20 head, then got to go right inside to shower and cool off. The B & B at Horizon View Farm ( outside of Somerset PA ) was very nice, we had an extremely comfortable stay.

By 6 this morning we were back on the road. Had about 10 hours of travel to do. Hunter was great until about the last 45 minutes. Thank God for portable DVD players!! As the day went on, we watched the temperature go from 75 to 82 to 92 to 98 to 105!!! Chicago is hot!!

Heat is supposed to break tomorrow, and I hope the weathermen are right. My schedule is pretty full and I've already got waterbottles in the freezer in preparation for tomorrow.

Here is a picture of Azura, the new Paso mare. She's settling in just fine back at the ranch.
