Emma

Mom and I left at 7:00am for a trip to Iowa to pick up a FHANA registered Friesian mare named Emma and her colt. We arrived at Wendy's farm around 10:00am and met the animals. Emma was all bathed and ready for transport. She has a gorgeous colt by her side by the Shire stallion Powerful Paul Wendy is keeping but Emma is to come to our place to be bred then back to Wendy's until she weans her colt.
We made it home before 1:00pm making good time. Below are a couple of pictures of Emma right after we unloaded her.

Mark was working on the pond overflow. That is leaking pretty bad so he made a path to the overflow with the concrete that was torn off the drive.

He is filling the pipe up then hopes to be able to fill the pipe in with cement to plug the leak.

I had to take a picture of the blooming  Rose of Sharon bush. It has such gorgeous color.

We picked up mom for our trip out to Middle Grove for the evening stopping at Casey's for pizza then John's to drop off a tool Tim had borrowed. Middle Grove was packed with people and cars. Below are just a few of the kids at play in the campground area.
Below are the 4 Reinhard girls cooking dinner.
