Rain! A Wonderful Rain

No walk today it was just starting to sprinkle and then for the next few hours we got a softly falling ground soaking 4 tenths of an inch of so needed rain. The pastures will bounce back quickly now.
This morning Karin and I worked on the script for the August 16th show. Hope it will work, we will only be able to hold one practice before that day.
Today was a good day to drive to Pekin to visit  Big R and Aldi. I filled the car with beet pulp for horses and people groceries but when I arrived home it was raining enough that only the groceries were unloaded. When the rain stopped a few hours later the rest was unloaded and taken to the feed stall. With Emily out of commission with a broken wrist Karin stepped in to help get Jewel and Lola covered. Lola may be going out, she kicked at Valiant after the deed was done. When Mark got home from work we put the road grader on the Kubota and off he went grooming the miles of driveways.
The Methodist youth group from Mcquon was scheduled to arrive this evening for a camp out. Below are a few pictures of the evening.





Karin took 7 horses at a time and had to take numerous trips. I only got pictures of the first group out as it got too dark to get good pictures. They just finished up with the last group a little bit ago, we could see Cookie's white markings, the rest of the group faded into the darkness. She had a big group of over 20 people who came to camp and enjoy the facilities here. They enjoyed swimming, boating, horse back riding, hiking and cooking over the fire.
