We were awakened by the flash of lightning and the crash of thunder. Mark ran outside barefoot and only half dressed to pull a sheet of plywood out of the rain and under the cover of the eves of the house. The rain had stopped by 7:20 am so we decided to walk getting only 1 round in before the heavens opened and we got dumped on. Mom needed to take her car in to Frenches, yesterday she had a hose break, so my car was left at Mike's office for her and Diane gave me a ride in to Meisters to work on Berean mail. We had a huge amount of mail. The Bibles still had not been delivered yet. Dave Obgerfel called Bible Distribution and Tim Martin was kind enough to bring 30 boxes to us. We took a break just after noon for lunch then came back to finish up the studies, load the Bibles into Diane's van and head to the post office all before 2:00 pm. The sun actually came out for a few minutes so Rhoda and I decided to get a quick video of the 2 yearling fillies. By the time we got to the barn Emily already had Rhiannon in the outdoor round penning her but by the time we stepped into the arena we could see a storm building in the west heading our way. We knew there wasn't a lot of time, below is a short video of Rhiannon just to see her nice movement even though the arena was sloppy wet.
She was put away and Promise taken out. Promise is kind of prissy and didn't want to get her feet muddy but she still moved out just not as well as she would have if the arena would have been dry. Rhoda had her practice the bow. She did this for the first time yesterday and remembered. This filly is smart!
The rain started back up before we even got the fillies put away. Tonight a big storm came through taking out our electricity for a short time. My paper white kindle broke meaning I couldn't even read! I'm going to have to order another. They sure don't last long, this will be the 3rd and they all seem to break in the second or third year (after the warranty expires) bummer
