Benefit Preparations

What a day. Mark and I are now at home and pretty exhausted... but... the Fellowship hall is BEAUTIFUL! There were many volunteers and all were willing. Even Spark and Dan got in on the action. My pie crusts are all baked and ready, the strawberries are bought and in the fridge. The pies will look good and hopefully taste better than they look. I made 6 pie crusts and will probably have enough strawberries to fill all 6 so will have 2 for home.
At the farm, Steven had all the boys haltered and tied and when I drove up, there was Wynne all saddled up and Steven sitting on her. She was very well behaved. Steven also worked with Aragon picking up all 4 feet. He is a very nice colt but has not shed his VERY thick fuzzy bleached brown winter foal coat. We had someone ask for updated pictures but with the huge storm that came through and the finishing jobs still waiting at the Fellowship Hall we did not get back out to the farm. There are a couple of people coming Sunday afternoon to see him. They actually wanted to come tomorrow but with the big dinner I had to tell them no. Sure was hoping he would start shedding out, he is a rich black underneath all that hair.
Steven checked Lily and as she is in season he had Raven cover her. He also checked Velvet's milk, she looks farther along than Bunni even though Bunni is due May 3rd and Velvet May 19th. Savanna did not come out to greet Raven so we believe she is out of season and we will start counting her days. Tomorrow is Wynne's 18th day from the last day she was bred and she will need to be walked over to Raven. Jackie the bay mare showed a little more interest in Raven today so she may also be coming in.
