A Bird In Hand

Our company arrived right at 8:00 am, exactly the moment a big starling flew into the house, circled the table that was set for breakfast, knocked into the chandelier above the table raining feathers down on the plates, slammed into each window, flying up the stairs and into the guest bedroom followed by Darcy and Emma who were knocking over chairs, slamming into tables and then running upstairs after it. They scared it into the upstairs bathroom. The door was shut and the bird grabbed and taken down the stairs in-front of our shocked guests.Yes we always greet our guests with overly excited Mastiff dogs, overturned furniture and birds in hand. I guess that is better than the proverbial bird in the bush.
Breakfast was just a few minutes late.
After breakfast everyone got ready for church in record time. Karin and mom drove separate as we had a full carload.
Greg Rumbold had the morning service and Mike Rieker had the afternoon. It was SO good to be there. Funny how much we look forward to Sundays.
After church Karin came over to help tease Indy but she said no. It has been 17 days since her ultrasound which showed that she had just ovulated. She should be in soon. Mark helped move a round bale into the middle paddock. Soul, Jurista, Oksana and Rosalie were moved into that paddock. Oksana and Rosalie went right over to Killian's paddock and started to show. Oksana went out 12 days ago, there is no way she could be back in. I'm going to have to take her in for an ultrasound to find out what is going on.
Phil and Anna brought their girls out along with Gertie and Dennis for the afternoon and evening. We enjoyed fried chicken from Gils then went to the playground to watch the volley ball games until everything got rained out. We are looking forward to an early night tonight.
