Better news, my daughter is painting the vinegar infected horse and he's currently yellow with red polka dots!
The last few afternoons we've spent time lazing out in the backyard for a hour or so after the heat of the day breaks. The chickens, Amber and Sophia, enjoy hanging out with us. They're the only two that get to roam around a little because they stay close to us and are easily caught. They even strut right past the dog, probably to drive her nuts! (Sophia is in front an Amber is pecking around in the weeds behind her)
