Fencing

Anxious to get to the farm this morning to check on Samantha and Bunni but when I arrive all is quiet and no new babies. We had quite a storm last night and that is always a worry when mares are due. Once Raven was grained, it was off to mom's to show her how to get on the Peoria AC website and barely got that job accomplished before time to walk. Dan was out early this morning dropping off a boat he had purchased yesterday. He plans on putting it in the water later today after work. After the walk Samantha was given her sulpha, then it was over to the cabin to help Mike with Evan's training. We must be very diligent with Evan, he does not have Raven's genes and we can definitely tell. Evan was led around, all 4 legs picked up, handled all over then put back into the pasture with Valiant and Aragon. The 3 boys are in that field alone as Wynne was moved over to the herd for bonding purposes. Unfortunately no one told me and when I see an obviously NOT pregnant mare with no foal by her side in the field and for the life of me cannot figure out who she is, I panic. I'm thinking one of the mares delivered but which one and where is the foal. After searching a bit I realize it is Wynne and all is well. Down to the shop a little late (searching for the non existent foal)and the mail is scary. The white mail tub is all the way full. It wasn't as bad as we feared, there were some returned Bibles on the bottom of the tub.
Spark and Phil joined us at Denny's for lunch, then time for grocery shopping, my least favorite job but someone must do it. Hamburger, buns, ketchup, onions, tomatoes, pickles were purchased for dinner. Mark doesn't mind doing the grilling. A 10 pound bag of long grain rice was also purchased and rice is cooking now. Emma is still having diarrhea and Rhoda suggested feeding her rice.
After dinner we will need to work on fencing at the farm. There are 2 main areas of fencing down in the far paddock. Jamie thinks the storm caused some of the damage.
