Volunteers

Eva Jean called in sick today, she wouldn't be able to make it to help with the Berean mail. Emily was already booked to watch Phil and Anna's girls so that left Diane and I. We dreaded going to work today knowing we were going to be overwhelmed. Well God provides, Kathy and David Obgerfel showed up to help then after lunch Emily came and by 3:30 pm we had all the studies processed, all the letters read and all the Bibles sent out. This was a long day but so worth finishing as this week is extremely busy with the vet coming for ultrasound and getting ready for the wedding company. When we arrived home Pat's mare Whisper was taken out for a couple pictures.

She was teased but not showing yet. Rhoda had arrived so she and Emily decided to take the 2 ponies to Jubilee. Rhoda pulled Bonnie out first for a quick canter around the arena. Bonnie is doing amazing and we are so impressed with her we discussed raising her price from $500.00 to $1000.00. She is well worth more money but we are thinking that everyone sees the cheap price and thinks she is a junk pony, she's not.
Emily loaded Misty up first for the trip to Jubilee.
Misty is so cute! She is also for sale but we KNOW this pony is worth much more, she is an excellent driving pony plus a fun ride and at only 9 years old has decades to give to a family. 8 year old Bonnie pony pictured below is about an inch taller than Misty and also a fun ride for a bold child, she can really move.
The girls had a blast on this ride, they came back thrilled, the ponies did so well they decided to try to ride without reins to see if the ponies would just go off their legs. OK that probably wasn't the best idea but still fun. Both ponies were excellent.
Tim's renter has moved out so tomorrow is cleaning day at their house. Joan gets home tomorrow night so anyone wanting to help feel free to just show up.
Mark brought home a few more plants for the north side of the house and got them planted tonight. While he was walking down to the pond chopping weeds he startled 2 of the foxes, both parents were over on our side of the pony hunting for dinner.
