Jubilee Trails

Church was such a blessing, morning service was Nile Bucher, then the group Hallelujah sang to us. This group of 13 sang a variety of familiar songs just beautifully. Afternoon service was Ron Kipfer, we were all sorry to see him sit down. He spoke on the difference between Saul's and David's repentance and even though David's sin was so much greater than Saul's, it was the true repentance of David that God was pleased with.
Today was a farm free day, no driving out, no worrying allowed, so after church Mark and I loaded up the dogs and headed for Jubilee State Park. We didn't start out very well, poor Emma got her tail shut in the car door, started yelping and bleeding. Once we got the bleeding stopped, we decided to go on and took the dogs down a path to the creek where we let them go. They sounded like horses with their splashing, jumping, and running. This served a couple of purposes, it cleaned all the blood off Emma's tail and legs and gave both dogs drinks. They were called back and the real hike began.

A huge buck was standing in the middle of one trail but by the time the camera was out he took off. We ended up on a very wet muddy narrow horse trail when Mark found this horse shoe.

After sloshing through this trail we see why horses lose their shoes.
We finally found a decent trail that led down to a smaller creek where the dogs were allowed to play for a bit.

Darcy had the best time running through the creek.

We hiked about a hour and a half before heading home. Once Rhoda got home from Taylor we had her look at poor Emma's tail as every time she would wag her tail blood would splatter all over our clothes, the floor and chairs. Rhoda had it wrapped within 2 minutes, she is amazing.
