Today was a win win day all around. Mark helped unload the new round pen from the stock trailer Eva Jean and I worked until 11:30 then went to lunch. Since there were still no Bibles to mail she was sent home. Right after she left the Skyline home found 10 boxes of Bibles that had been wrapped but not returned. Mark picked those up for us and not even 10 minutes after we had finished unloading and stacking them in the office, Tim Martin showed up with 28 more boxes. I stayed just a bit longer then had to leave to meet Karin at Honegger Law office, she was bringing Emma home on her way to the Bloomington Airport. We will not know if Emma got pregnant or not from her visit with Rick James for 45 days, no one ever saw them tie but it may have happened during the night. We are hoping for the best.
Emily spent the morning helping Tim Reinhard pick up heavy equipment from World Relief in Fairbury for the demolishing of the Old School Center. She drove Tim's car here but needed to drop it off at the Old School Center this afternoon. That worked out well with my plans of dropping off Ella and Titan and bringing home Rhiannon. We have a lady coming all the way from California to see her tomorrow.
By the time I got back with Emma, Emily had already loaded Ella and her colt Titan into the stock trailer. Emily drove Tim's car to the school and I followed her with the truck and trailer, it is on the way to Middle Grove. We never know when we head out there if we will be walking for hours looking for the herd. By the time I had the trailer backed up to the gate the entire herd had come running up to see who we brought back. Missy was the first to make it up, she loves the foals so much that we may consider breeding her this fall. She would love to be a mom. We always thought Missy was too ugly to breed but maybe the foal would look more like the dad. What do you think? Missy is a blue roan in color and has that big unflattering blaze down her face. Think she could have a cute foal?
Cookie, Bunni, Rhiannon and Promise were all loaded into the trailer like clock work and off we went for home. Cookie and Bunni will be used for a trail ride here on Saturday. Those 2 were put in the Middle Paddock while Promise and Rhiannon were stalled so I could get the burrs out of their manes and tails again.Both stood well for grooming, Promise even lowered her head so I could work on her forelock. What good girls these yearlings are.
Mark worked late tonight at Meister's using the Kubota and scraper to level the lower parking lot. He came home frustrated that the Kubota gets such good gas mileage. He wanted to quit a lot sooner. That tractor is amazing.
