Water

Rhoda needed the oil changed in her car and Philip needed to have his arm checked out and Anna had to work. So this is how we worked it all out. Rhoda took her car in, I followed, picked her up then drove to St. Francis and picked up Braelyn. We enjoyed a nice breakfast at Bob Evan's then off to TSC my favorite store to shop. We spent some time picking out fly paper, calf manna for Sanna's filly, 2 dog bowls on clearance, more bedding and puppy food spending a whopping $151.00. Braelyn enjoyed the shopping experience.
Once back at the farm she promptly fell asleep. A carload from Taylor heading to the Leo sale called to see if they could stop in and see the horses and puppies on their way to Peoria to pick up more people heading to the sale. They got here a little after noon, played with the puppies, looked at the foals then watched Rhoda work Evan. He had to show them how he bows and lays down.
Rhoda's car was finished and Phil was ready for Braelyn so back to Peoria we drove.
Mom asked for a head of lettuce and it was a good excuse to buy ice cream also at Aldis.
Ylse and Breyer were teased today. Raven was very disappointed neither mare were interested. Jenis is still in but was covered yesterday. She will need to be done tomorrow.
Mark left work at noon to start the process of removing the manure piles. He was working well getting a lot accomplished until the dump trailer door hit one of the hydrants. The water was pouring out and it took a bit to figure out the correct turn off. We lost all the water to the last 2 paddocks, the office and both barns. David Sauder was called for HELP. He and Rachel were on date night shopping at walmart when we were able to get hold of them. David went over to Lowes to pick up a cap. Mike came over and put a reducing 90 degree elbow which made it an easy temporary fix when David and Rachel got here.
Tara and Jay brought over their family plus Josiah to visit the pups, then Diane brought over four of her grandchildren. After playing with the pups it was over to the haybales and vaulting barrel.





By the time the Sauders arrived it was pretty pitch black but no problem the cap was put on and does not leak. THANK YOU DAVID! What a way to finish your date night.
