The Birds

Well we got almost .4 inches of rain on the hay last night. It wasn't just rain, we also had hail and wind. It was a little discouraging this morning. After the walk Roxanne and Star were both still in and both were covered, Roxanne by Evan and Star by Valiant.  Roxanne was moved into a paddock with Rosaleigh as both of these mares need to gain weight making it easy to grain them.  Anna dropped the girls off at 7:45 am, we painted and played inside until close to 11:00 am.  David brought Israel and Elisabet over to swim so we headed over to the beach.

Braelyn was busy fishing by holding a jar under the water, when the fish would swim into the jar she would lift it quickly. 

 It worked, she caught 2 little fish.

 Mom has beautiful flowers at her place. I took a few pictures of them.

 She also fills her hummingbird feeder every other day.  She had one flying around drinking this morning.

 Faith raised the bird below. This bird had just hatched when they found him. Faith has been a good mother to him. Today she decided to let him go.

 He had his freedom but didn't really want to leave Faith.

 He flew over to Braelyn and landed on her arm.

 Then visited Israel. 

 The bird flew around visiting each of the kids.

 Taegan was thrilled when he landed on her finger.

 Kensley was also pleased.

 Next we picked up Berlica and the girls went canoeing and swimming.

 All had a great time.

Mark got home late from work today so wasn't able to go to church. Mom, Diane and I went together. Tim Roecker had the message. On the way home the sunset was gorgeous. Mom and Diane both took pictures. Diane sent the picture below.
