Parents & children

The foal is gone. Sold I suppose after only 2 months with Mother horse. Mother and Father are back together in the big field - no longer a fence between. Does that companionship make up for the loss of the foal?

Meanwhile a pair of swallows are making there nest under the eaves on the west side of the bunkhouse literally two inches from our back door. We wonder if they know how hot it gets trackside in July.
