Rosaleigh's Filly

We had a beautiful sunrise this morning only living in this house we can't actually see the sun rise. We can see the after affects of the colors tinting the clouds. Below is looking South, those are not mountains  just above the tree line, those are clouds.

 Below is looking East. That is as close as we can come to see the sunrise.

 Below is looking West. Even the west was showing beautiful colors this morning.

After our walk Soul and her colt were put out in the field. He is just 1 day old but strong and wanting to stretch those long legs of his.

If you would like to see the rest of his pictures taken this morning click HERE. The rain moved in right after that so they were put back in the stall.  Rosaleigh was waxing heavily this morning.

I was pretty sure she would be delivering today or tonight. She was also stalled. Mom went to Skylines to visit Aunt Bernie and Ilene.

She had a nice visit with them then had lunch with Evie, Ilene, and Virginia. Aunt Bernie wasn't feeling well so went back to her room. Mom said the lunch was good and they all enjoyed being together. These ladies have been friends for as long as I have been alive. 

 After church tonight we had a surprise birthday party for Sarah at Culvers.  As a joke everyone brought presents and almost all of the presents had in it a pair of high heel shoes for her.

 She had to try them on and walk around the restaurant wearing her beautiful shoes. It was pretty funny as all the kids at the party followed her around the restaurant.

LuEllen Schafer was planning on spending the night to see the birth and was pleased we didn't have to stay up all night. The filly was born at 10:45 pm and was an uneventful birth. Exactly what I was praying for.

By 11:30 pm the filly was rooting around in the right spot.

LuEllen took some pictures of Soul's colt while we were waiting for the filly to stand.

Once I was reasonable sure the filly was going to be nursing we both left. LuEllen for home and me for the house to write the blog. Watching on the monitor it is obvious she is nursing well.
