Big Repairs

We had a thunderstorm during the night that dropped a decent amount of rain but it stopped just before we were to walk.  Except just as we started walking the rain started back up. We walked in the rain over to Joan's to say good-by to Bethany and Bill and their 3 children then each of us home.  As it was so wet and cold I spent the morning doing house work, cleaning up the place while listening to AC Central.  Around 1:00 pm the rain stopped so the outside chores started. 5 mares were teased today with only one showing. Galena is still in and was covered by Valiant.  Indy, Oksana, Irish and Lola were not at all interested.  I may need to schedule a sonagram. Irish has never shown. Oksana was covered 20 days ago, Indy was covered 22 days ago and Lola was covered 18 days ago so they may be pregnant.
Later I ran to Kroger to pick up a few groceries.  Phil and Anna arrived this evening to help with the big repairs. All of the furniture was moved out of the living room as tomorrow we start on the ceiling. Phil brought in all of the drywall by himself. Each one weighs 65 pounds and is 12 feet long.

 Anna went up to the apartment to work on the washer. Anna needed Phil for that though, they had to take the dryer off of the top of the washer then take the washer apart. There were two error codes on that, one was a plugged drain but the other is a $300.00 part. 

 Phil is going to order the part and hopefully install it. Good thing we don't have any renters moving in for 10 days. I will block out the next week so I don't have to worry about anyone coming in unexpectedly.

 Anna took the girls home but Phil came back inside to help move the lights.

While they were working on the washer I got a bale moved in for Indy, Oksana and Irish then fed Rosaleigh and Soul. Both of their foals are doing great. They are both enjoying attention from people and growing well.  It is a blessing to have 4 healthy foals.  Jewel is due in 11 days but usually goes early but her udder is not full yet. I check her twice a day just in case. I sure don't want her to deliver out in this mud. We got over an inch of rain today and are expecting a LOT more rain the next 3 days. Heavy rain is predicted every day for the next 3 days.  I had to lock Lola and Galena off the pond pasture. It is just too soggy and they will tear it up.
