Rain is A-Coming

We are expecting the rain to start late this afternoon. How disappointed will we be if it doesn't? We keep getting conflicting accounts on when and how much is to come from Isaac. After the walk, Jewel and her filly were let outside for a few pictures.
This 24 hour old filly looks so sweet but looks are deceiving! Here she is sticking her tongue out at the camera.
All joking aside, she was a little spitfire this morning. She didn't want to be handled, didn't want me touching her cord, was banging into her mom's udder so hard Jewel had to correct her a bit, and hated, absolutely hated me touching her legs. This one is going to be more work than our usual compliant sweet foals. Could be that 25% Thoroughbred blood running through her veins. This one will have stallion like presence and should go to a show home for sure. We were hoping Prissy and Clair would be out but both are still in. We wanted to trailer them to Middle Grove before the rain hits as once it comes we won't be hauling the trailer out through the mud. The only 2 that can be taken out is Bonnie and Paris. What a shame to go with a half empty trailer. The stove, dishwasher and washer were delivered today for the farm house. Still to be ordered is the fridge and dryer. We are going to set up one of the bedrooms this weekend for Sarah. The house is so close to being done I'm starting to get anxious to move. Not that I don't love this little apartment but it will sure be great to have more room when the grand kids come over.
