Happy Horses

 I didn't awake until 5:20 am, gulped a cup of coffee then headed out to the barn to put Titus and Aiken out and clean their stalls. As today is Berean day Mark was on his own for breakfast. Ruth arrived for the walk carrying a gift for each of us. She gave us one of Fedi's books.

I sat down and read it this afternoon and recommend it to anyone who thinks America is a bad country. IF you are interested in buying this book it is for sale on Amazon click HERE for the link. Before the walk I took my purse and the mail box over to mom's and put it in the van. Her knock our roses, inpatients and morning glories (I think those are right) are all blooming beautifully. 

We had to leave this morning before 8:00 am since we needed to drive to the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail as Skip is gone today. Mom commented that we were taking the scenic route as it took so long to get to the Berean office but really we made it there in 50 minutes and that included waiting at the post office for the only clerk to get his computer up and running. We were missing quite a few volunteers but because of the holiday yesterday we didn't have much mail. I only took a couple pictures as we were finishing up since I was needed on the computer with Skip gone.

After dropping off the studies and the Bibles going out today at the Hanna City post office and dropping off mom and Aunt Jinnie I sat down to read Fedi's book. When that was finished Mark wanted my help. He and Mackenson were greasing axles and I was the driver to get the wheels up and off the ground.

The drywallers came today and worked upstairs. They left around 2:00 pm so I took the golf cart over to see what got done. The fox was sitting on the gravel pile just enjoying the sunshine. When I drove up he got off, sat and looked at me then went back to hunting mice in the field.

The drywallers had all of the outside walls covered and some of the inside walls.

It will be a relief to get this project done. This evening I went out to bring Titus and Aiken inside. I walk into their paddock and call them.

Today Aiken beat Titus to the gate. I will stand at the gate holding his halter and wait until he sticks his nose in it. Today though I wanted to check Aiken's udder before taking them inside.

It is a little fuller but no waxing. One would never know she is 9 days overdue. At least she is developing. She really IS pregnant. As this is her first foal she doesn't stick out near as far as any of the repeat mares. 

They are both in their stalls and happily munching away. I'm happy they are happy.
