This morning the car was barely able to make it up the driveway farm. I didn't think much of the problem, too busy taking care of the new colt and once at work the phone started ringing. First was Rhonda, the carpet she ordered was delivered in a van and it slid off the driveway into the ravine, then Diane called, she was trying to pick up her grandchildren and couldn't get out because of Rhonda and the carpet van and when she tried to back up, she was stuck. Then the Pence's came along and added to the vehicle mess. Finally a tow truck came, pulled out the carpet van, and pulled Diane out to the road and the Pences made it out.
With the temperature not getting above the teens out there today, none of the ice melted. We have Tyler Joos our farrier coming around noon tomorrow so Mike was going to stay home from church and get out the heavy equipment to try to break up some of the ice and make the driveway passable.
This is one of the country living problems we have and each year it just seems to get worse. Either we need to rethink the driveway or ALL get 4Wheel drive vehicles. Sure hope Mike will feed Paris for me in the morning, I really don't want to make 2 trips out and must be there for Tyler.
Ribbon tripped twice tonight during the vaulting practice, her front feet really need to be trimmed.
