Earthquake or Not

 Another cold morning. Just Ruth and I and 3 dogs walked Fedi's dog, Ryan's dog and Sarah's dog, Joan had Co-Op. I was due at mom's this morning so both Ruth and I quit after 1 round.  Once mom was set watching the eagles the bird feeder was filled. There was a big flock of geese hunkered down on the frozen lake near the only open water. 

The picture reminded me of the time we were walking and Ruth saw the geese on the frozen lake and thought we needed to go help them get out. She thought they had frozen in place. 
The bird feeder was very popular today.
Beth called from Gulf Shores. She was with Rhonda so both shared news.  Gulf Shores may have had a small earthquake. Beth was sitting at her pool when the water started dancing, Rhonda and Spark were at the boat pictured below (That is Rachel's husband David in the picture) When she saw the water start to moved.
No idea if it was an earthquake but it was noticeable. Beth shared some wonderful news. When she was in Gulf Shores in November the minister of the church they are going to asked if he could pray for her health and anointed her with oil.  When she came home last November for her iron treatment for the first time since the chemo for breast cancer the number was above that 20 number. The lab work was performed 3 times and each time it came back above. She is feeling so much better that today she walked to the lagoon and back. I think that is around 4 miles. Before this she was only able to walk a couple of blocks. She is praising God and thanking him for this new feeling of health. The only problem with Beth and Rhonda telling us how nice it was in Gulf Shores is now mom wants to head back down. 
When Karin arrived Anna was already hard at work at the barn.
Her girls had a half day of school today so Taegan and Kensly came with her and were having fun on the hill. I really should have looked for sleds last year. Sleds should be something to stock up on.
They came inside to warm up then when Mark came home we left for Avanti's for dinner.
Braelyn wasn't feeling well so just Taegan and Kensley got to come tonight.  We finally heard from Mike and Diane. They sent back the picture below with the text Roatan yesterday.
They also sent back a zip lining video but it is not clear enough to share here.  So glad they are having beautiful weather and lots of fun. We had a high of 41 today and the snow is melting.  Phil and Anna worked on putting together the heating system this evening for the barn. Heat will be needed. We are expecting freezing rain to start tomorrow afternoon then the temperature drops like a stone until it bottoms out about zero.  Hope the weather man is wrong. Ice makes everything hard. We will need to move a bale in for the weanlings before the rain starts.
