We are on the way to breaking the all time record for rain in June in our area. The rain has almost stopped this evening but pretty much rained all day once the walk was over. We are thankful it wasn't raining from 7:25 to 8:20 am and were able to walk during that time. At one point Ebby and Emma disappeared. Diane wasn't concerned she said, "Ebby has always found her way home." When Joan was heading home she sent a picture text that she found both dogs.
They were coming down the drive both carrying their trophies. They found a deer hide in the woods divided it up fairly and were proudly bringing it home.
Anna dropped off the girls at 8:15 so we had about 5 minutes to go toad hunting. Braelyn and Taegan both love toads so when only 1 toad was found we may have a problem but the girls did very well sharing it. We put it in a bucket so we could bring it in the house and even then all was well.
The girls were playing with the horses, the toad safe in the bucket when the dryer signal went off. Braelyn and Taegan followed me into the kitchen to change the machines. I heard a sound in the family room but didn't think too much about it. Walked into the family room to find Kensley had the bucket tipped over and was putting something in her mouth. Just as I went to find out what she was putting in her mouth the toad jumped out of her hands. So so thankful she didn't eat it. What kind of grandma lets the baby eat toads? The toad was put back in the bucket and the bucket put up on the table and the baby's hands washed.
Mike and Diane left this afternoon for Ohio to pick up a jeep for Middle Grove. Joan and Tim's family left for the Reinhard family camp, Spark and Rhonda are still in Gulf Shores and the Iceland group are still in Iceland. Speaking of Iceland below are pictures of day 5.
Today they visited mountains, glaciers and the beach.
They must have been bored on the way home.
Above Jessica and Emily are braided together and below Emily and Anni are braided together. That's what happens when long haired girls are squished together in the back seat of a small car.
Mark helped move a bale in for the mare pasture this evening when the rain slowed down from a downpour to a few sprinkles. The place is saturated through and through. Everywhere is standing water on the flats and rushing rivers on the slopes.
