All Is Well

I checked the parking lot camera this morning and it recorded a deer walking through at 3:20 am. A few days ago I saw the fox on that camera and before that the cat wandering over from her hunting in the fields. Evan was put out in the pasture first thing this morning. I had the phone on video camera as I was sure he would take off galloping but he was so glad to get back out to graze that was all he could think of doing. 

All of us were back and ready for our walk. Ruth told us all about her wonderful trip to Austria and Romania, Joan told us about the wedding in North Carolina and how great it was to be with so many of the missionary families from Haiti and Diane told us about her trip to Gulf Shores. It really was great to be together again. After visiting with mom and Aunt Jinnie I left for home to make breakfast then drive to Sam's club. I picked up a cheese cake and strawberries for the Berean office tomorrow and dropped that off at that office before going home with the rest of the groceries. Mark had been commenting about not having enough food in the fridge. He meant not enough meals he could just heat up and eat. By the time I got back the guests from the barn and the foaling apartment had left. I went to work on the laundry while Mark went to work sweeping the gym floor. He also needed to use the floor scrubber on the living area, there was just too many spills and sticky stuff on the that. That floor scrubber saves me hours of work. I'm so thankful he bought it. One of the harder jobs of the day was to get the bouncy house from the garage to the barn. We worked together putting it in the cart and that wasn't easy.

It is a very heavy house. Mark used the lawn mower to pull it to the barn as he was afraid it was too heavy for the golf cart. 

That worked well. I was just finishing up making the beds when Martha Kay and Dana arrived. David and Dana went fishing with Israel and his friend Grayson. They were pulling in bass, crappie and bluegill. Of course they let them all go to grow up more. This lake is catch and release! 

We both had more work to do so went back. Mark loaded the small Kubota on the trailer. It has an oil leak and needs to be taken in for repair.

The drive going up needed more gravel so the skid steer was used for that.

The next job was to finish cleaning Evan's paddock while he was out grazing but when he saw Mark bringing the skid steer in he came running back.

He refused to leave so I left then to get the stalls prepared for tonight. It looks like it might rain tonight as there are dark clouds in the West. Aiken is now 8 days late and still no sign of waxing. Walking back to the house I noticed the queen anne's lace was blooming.

Supper tonight was peppers, French onion dip, asparagus and meat balls cooked in a bbq and grape jelly sauce.

Tonight around 8:00 pm Titus and Aiken were put back in the stalls, given their grain and fresh buckets of water. They are on the foaling camera and both are standing quietly.

Mike and Diane went to Middle Grove to check mares. All is well there.
