Garden pictures, Peanut news

We had a busy weekend, with a graduation party, putting up a small load of hay for Dad(only about 100 bales), and a cook-out at Dad's on Sunday. Also, on Sunday afternoon when I went to the barn to take Beauty and Peanut to pasture, I saw Peanut bleeding pretty heavily on his leg. On closer inspection, I saw a deep cut. Called the vet and he came out about an hour later. He said Peanut didn't severe his flexor tendon, but he did slice it. He gave him a sedative to make him not really care much about what was going on, but as I held his head and Shawn held his body while the vet worked, I noticed he was snoring and getting heavy. Shawn and the vet laid him down, and that little relaxer turned into a heavy sedative for Peanut! Steve was able to clean and put in 6 stitches and give 2 shots without Peanut waking up. After about 40 minutes, Steve took his head and helped him stand. He is on meds now and limited walking to allow the leg to heal, so back to being shut up in the barn with his momma and me scooping up the poo!!:)
Here is the first of the garden shots. We finally had rain on Monday, after a short dry spell. I tilled the garden on Saturday evening, no weeds. By Monday afternoon, there are quite a few now. So, if I don't get stuck in the mud and the rain holds off, I hope to weed during nap time today!
On another note, when I went out to give Peanut his medicine, I heard tiny meows. I looked and
sure enough in the box in the garage, 5 tiny kittens made their appearance in the world early this morning(or late last night!). Kitties, anyone?
