Sonagram Countdown

Mattie will be checked this morning, if she is not interested, we will start the sonagram countdown. Eliza, Kim's mares Bridgett and Mattie and Kay's mare Alfie.
Yesterday the feed stall was finally gone through. All the stuff, important stuff we thought we must have from the green barn at Bridlewood, was gone through and organized, tack taken into the big barn and placed with the saddles, buckets all need scrubbing to try to get the insulation off, they were taken to the hydrant. The grain and storage containers were taken to the hay stall which will no longer be a hay stall and lots of garbage cleaned out.
The grain will now be stored in the last stall on the end, if and when we get square bales we will stack them in a corner of the arena. The stall needs a bit of lime under a few of the mats and the mats need to be trimmed to fit better, then bedding added and it is ready to go.
Diane called to spread the news that anyone wanting to go to church was to meet at the playground at 6:20pm. Mark and I arrived first, the picture below was snapped as the cars started arriving.

Rebekah was driving, Ruth and Fedi left for Current River and left Rebekah the van. Church was wonderful as usual, one of the neatest things about our drive home (along with the McDonald's ice cream) is discussing what we learned. Tim Roecker had the very thought provoking sermon. Mark snapped the picture below, there was no way to get the driver, Rebekah in the picture.

Working outside is exhausting and the bed felt wonderful. Around 2:00am an alarm starts screaming. I asked Mark, "are you cooking NOW?" It turned off on it's own but he went around the apartment trying to find out what it was and why. He didn't find anything and came back to bed. Just about an hour later it went off again. This time we could hear sirens coming down Glasford road. When the trucks passed our drive and kept heading down the road we thought perhaps the detector is picking up smoke from a fire not too far away. Once up this morning Mark checked everything out and believes it may be our carbon monoxide detector going off, we can't smell any propane leaking, it may be high humidity, the detector is right below our window, but he will check things out with the testers.
We have a heat advisory, the heat and humidity is going to start climbing reaching almost 100 degrees tomorrow.
