Cold Friday

Yesterday was busy and cold. It felt like a cold November day with the drizzle of rain and temperatures hovering in the low 50s all day.
Anna dropped off Braelyn and Taegan early, they were loaded up on the golf cart with a blanket and over we drove to the Reinhards to meet Mackinson and Berlica, Those poor kids have never in their entire life been exposed to cold weather such as this and to think this is still summer.

After the girls were picked up it was moving time for horses. Emily convinced me to leave Promise and Rhiannon here instead of hauling them to Middle Grove. She wants to work with both girls. The first step was to move Evan out of the pond pasture and into a stall. Then Promise and Rhiannon out of Evan's paddock into the pond pasture. Evan could then be put back into his own paddock and Killian moved into the short paddock. The short paddock adjoins to the pond pasture and we didn't want the boys to learn to fight with each other. Hadassah and Twilight were then brought out and put into the pasture that adjoins Valiant's to get them some grass time. Twilight is getting picked up today for her new home and I wanted a few pictures of her before she leaves.

She is such a hairy thing and looks bedraggled from all the rain. We are so pleased she is going to a home where someone will lavish her with love. The rain started back up so Twilight was taken to a stall for the night and Hadassah put back in with Killian. Emily left to head to the dmv to get her new to her car licensed and I headed to Big R in Pekin to buy some grain. With the bumper crop now coming in grain has dropped to $6.99 for 50 pounds so I bought 450 pounds.  Mark arrived home as it was raining but that didn't stop him from working on the house, he measured the north side and started cutting holes in the siding and removing it. Nick is coming to help him today and he hopes to get another side finished today.
