Warm Sunshine

Marian's funeral did not get started on time, we singers were asked to sing extra songs as a filler while waiting. Bob Hoerr made the comment we get overtime for this. Funeral singers pay is already considered out of this world. Actually all joking aside this was a very emotional funeral. Chuck came to us at the end to thank us weeping which set all of us off. How hard it is to lose a spouse of 59 years. Spark reminded him that it won't be too long before he will see her again. The warm sunshine at the beautiful AC cemetery helped the Hemmer's say their good-byes.
Once back, Dan and Mark joined us for lunch, then Mark and I loaded boxes of Bibles and lesson's into his truck. He is going to the Skyline home tonight for a board meeting and will drop off the Bibles for wrapping.
Steven was working horses when I finally made it home. He worked Jewel before I arrived, was working Zalena when I arrived then pulled out Killian for a leading lesson. Killian is amazing. It took him such a short time to walk the bridge and step on the tarp.

What a big boy he is at 6 months old. He has wonderful manners for such a young age.
Super and Ciera were next and both did very well, remembering yesterday's lesson and building on it. When he was all done, both were just nuzzling him asking for more attention.
Super just loves Steven. It shows us how this boy needs an owner with time to spend with HIM. Here he has to share the humans with too many other horses. He really wants to bond with someone.

Dr. Hoerr was called to find out the results of Zalena's culture, he will be back at his clinic and will give us those at 4:30pm. She may need to spend a few days at his clinic, she is obviously in season now and shouldn't be which probably means some inflammation of her uterus. Bummer!
4:30pm update: Dr. Hoerr called with excellent news, her uterus is CLEAN, he feels by him poking around and taking swabs set off enough prostaglandin to cause her to short cycle on her own. His words were "breed her!"
The picture below was taken by Rebekah Davidovics and stolen right off her blog. The view between the ears of her Arabian, Larry.

She stated in church yesterday that she was going to update and did NOT.
