Pool, Piling Pals, Perigee, Pedigree, and Pedicure

Pool - It was time to replace the pool liner so the day was spent removing the old liner and the new liner was installed. What a nice change and look.









Piling Pals - Ron and Corinne, who we met in northwest Minnesota at the beet piling site where we all worked last fall, stopped to visit us on their way traveling south in Florida. We had a great time visiting with them, meeting the horses, sharing beet piling stories and going to Springhill for the weekly car show.









Perigee - On the 10th of January the moon had its closest approach to earth in 15 years and the nearest it will be until 2016. The moon was 30% brighter and 14% wider than the run of the mill full moon.






Pedigree - Brooksville hosted the annual pilgrimage of people and their show dogs from all over the world to compete in what is considered the largest dog show in Florida. It's the annual Florida Winter Classic Cluster Dog Show which we found very interesting. It was fun to see the many different breeds of dogs, especially the Schipperke, which we had on the farm when we were kids.






































Pedicure - Larry the farrier arrived to update the shoes of the horses. They all behave so well to have their old shoes removed, their hooves trimmed and the new shoes fitted.







It has been a busy January. The winter has been colder than normal. Still warmer than what is happening back home in Iowa.
