Big Belly Bump

We started this cold morning below zero but by the time of the walk it had risen to 5 degrees. Diane sent through a text that we need to put on our big girl panties, man up and get out there. At least that was the gist of the text.  After 1 round I had to drop out, my legs were pretty frozen. Emily discovered Evan's waterer was frozen and went to get a hair dryer. Once the dryer was hooked up, she and Mike moved Sheena and Ripper over to the cabin field where Mike put in a new round bale ring with a good bale. The skid steer didn't want to start and when it finally did get started wouldn't moved, the tracks were frozen. Thankfully Mark's new tractor started right up so Emily could move a new round bale in for Valiant and Zalena before she had to leave for class.
This afternoon the thermometer was reading 20 degrees, warm enough to head outside for pictures. The golf cart was taken over to the cabin to pull hair from Ripper's tail for his dna test. He has to have that before we can get his Andalusian papers. Mike had the John Deere tractor parked in front of the cabin. Mike's project for the last month was to paint that tractor and I had to admire the new paint job. It looks brand new!

Sheena and Ripper are pictured below.

 Emma saw them looking over the fence and I snapped the picture of her as she was running and barking. What a funny face with so much skin and ears flapping around.

The icicles hanging off the cabin roof were impressive.

Ripper's hair was taken into the house and taped onto the dna kit then out I went to check Anna. Anna was taken out to the arena, she didn't want to run but who can blame her. Check out this big belly bump. She is due in 10 days. I really hope she delivers before we leave on the 23rd for the cruise. 

I had someone wanting to see updated pictures of Tatiana so put her in the paddock next to Killian's for a few pictures. 

She did want to run and show off.

She had a good roll in the snow before I took her back to her sister Violet.

We used mom's car for church tonight, Sarah's is suppose to be fixed and tomorrow that will be picked up. We had a visitor from Roanoke who gave us the Philippians study kick-off.
