Baby Shower for Kinga

We started work early today as the weather report was hot and steamy. I was out working by 6:00 am. The horses were fed, the last stall stripped and prepared for the day, the barn air conditioner turned on then Haddassah was covered by Killian. When I came in dripping wet with sweat Mark was on his way out to pull a tree out by the roots with his skid steer. This tree was growing up against the breeding shed and every day on the walk mom would comment, "this tree has to go!" Mark got part of the tree without a lot of trouble.

The next section of the tree the roots went deep and wouldn't budge. At one point I thought the skid steer was going to tip over, I snapped the picture as the skid steer was coming back down.

Where there is a will there is usually a way and Mark was successful in the end. The shed looks painfully bare.  At 10:30 I had cleaned up and picked up mom to head over to Ruth's for Kinga's baby shower. Rachel Davidovics drove all the way Rittman, Ohio to prepare all the food and decorate Ruth's house for the shower. Kinga is Rachel and Sandor's niece. 

The food was delicious, better than any restaurant I've ever been to and it looked pretty too. Some people have all the talent. Below is Kinga posing with her baby boy due in a month.

 Mom even brought Missy Molly to the shower. 

Jordan, Brian and Rebekah's baby boy was fascinated with her.

After the shower I needed to move Eliza and Zalena along with their foals out of the cabin field in the back pasture. The waterer at the cabin was leaking and Mike needed to shut off the water.
Ayanna and Violet were out playing when the mares went by. I just happened to have my camera handy to capture Violet's joy of jumping. She will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. If it cools down I'd like to video her.

Karin picked up Nancy and took her to Diane's pond for swimming. I missed out on that, a very nice lady named Toni arrived to look at the trailer and decided to buy it. Monday I'll be saying good by to that.

Now for some serious news. David, Stephanie and Emily drove up to Minnesota to visit Fede from Mexico and found he had been moved back into ICU at the hospital. He developed an infection. Fede was working up in Minnesota mowing when he bumped a double stacked round bale pile, a bale fell off and landed on him breaking his back. Emily sent a text through asking for prayers for Fede.
