Cold & Snow

It was barely above freezing this morning for our walk. I had to quit early again as I needed to be at the Berean office again today to work on Bible labels with Cindy. We were the only two workers there today and between the two of us got 100 Bible labels entered and printed out then placed on the Bibles.

Bill Schick is going to come later, pick them up and take them to the post office for mailing. I was home before noon. Good thing, there was a lot of work to do today. The stalls were cleaned, Galena and her colt put in the round pen with hay and water, Ayanna and her colt put in the stall so the arena could be cleaned up and Star put out in the field.  Hadassah was teased but she said an emphatic "NO" so was put back. Jury was teased and she said, "yes" so she was put in the stall until I could get some help for the cover.  When Mark got home we moved a round bale in the short shelter for Lilly, Brandee's mare and another round bale in for the weanlings.  The skid steer was hooked up to the manure spreader and that pulled out of the breeding shed and a round bale placed in there.  The next job was to cover Jury. She was tied but I needed Mark to hold her lead rope just in case she wouldn't stand while I brought Valiant over. She stood well and Valiant got the job done with no problem.  Jury was put back in her paddock and Galena and her colt taken to the breeding shed paddock. It is not muddy as it hasn't been used all winter and spring. Her colt is now plenty old and stocky enough to spend the night out of a stall as long as Galena will taken him inside the shelter if it rains. Sheena was given the last of the Gentamiacin. She just needs an Exceed shot (long lasting antibiotic) tomorrow. She is walking much better and the swelling is going down. Missy and Foxy's udders were checked, both are starting to develop a bag but no waxing.
By the time everything was done it was just about time to get ready for church. Mike Kaisner had the service tonight. By the time we left church it was starting to sleet but by the time we got to Hanna City that sleet had turned to snow.  I still needed to put Ayanna and her colt in the indoor for the night and bring in Star. Star was not happy in the barn by herself so I took the golf cart over to the cabin and brought back Missy who is actually due tomorrow.  Both are on the monitors and both are standing quietly.  It is cold and snowing out right now but the promise is sunshine and warmth tomorrow. Won't that be nice!
