We Have Waxing

We had a good walk today and didn't use our sweat shirts, nope today we wore winter coats. It was only 42 degrees outside.  We had rain last night, rain this afternoon and it is been pouring most of the evening. The morning was spent at Berean, we had a good group of volunteers and filled 80 Bible requests. If you would like to read about our morning there click HERE. This afternoon as soon as we finished up at the Berean office I drove to Sarah and Nolan's house to drop off some bows and play with the girls.

 From there I went to David and Stephanie's house to play with the grand children there.

 As soon as I got home Madiera and Sheena were checked. Madiera was standing in the corner of the paddock by herself while Sheena was out in the pasture grazing.  Madiera's udder was checked and sure enough she has waxing. Her foal is due in 8 days but I don't think she will hold on that long. Evan is the sire of her foal.

Both mares were brought into the stalls. Madiera isn't comfortable in the barn without Sheena in the next stall over. Extra bedding was put in Madiera's stall and both mares are on the monitor. Both are quiet and no sign of labor.  We had problems today. Our refrigerator quit working.  That wasn't the worst of that though,on Sunday we noticed the ice cream was very soft. Mark ordered and today brought home a new seal for the freezer door believing that was the problem and we spent a couple hours removing the freezer door and replacing the seal and yet that still wasn't the worst.  The very worst thing was I CLEANED it out today before I knew we were not going to be fixing it.  Why oh why did I waste all that time taking everything out and scrubbing it down then putting everything back in all organized.

Once we realized it was not going to start running all that food was removed and hauled up to the apartment fridge. The food can stay there until Thursday morning but then we have people moving in around 2:00 pm.  Mark tried to order a new fridge from Home Depot but they didn't have the one we need in stock and couldn't get it here for over a week. We have very few options as the size of the place the fridge fits is pretty small.  Lowes has one and I'll try to get it picked up tomorrow but tomorrow is already booked pretty solid. The mares inside were fed, given fresh water, more bedding and the stalls cleaned for the night before heading to the indoor to clean up that. Lily and Zalena must stay inside, their foals are too young to be out in this cold rain.
