Good Friday

It was only 30 degrees this morning so Mark got the fire going in the wood burner.  Mom got her new wheels this morning for the walk.  Mom heard David Obergfel talking about his new Honda that has warning lights on the side mirrors if a car is in the lane and it slows down if the car is too close to the car ahead. She decided she wanted a car just like David's and told Spark to start looking for one. Well then came the fall, the broken ribs and then the shelter in place order.  This morning she was given new wheels and Spark was sent the picture below with the text "Sorry spark mom already got her new wheels!"
Spark sent right back, "I don't think that has the options that she wanted but those could be added for less than $10,000.00. We saw a huge white swan fly over us on the walk. 
Karin arrived right after the walk followed by a van and both drove right to the cabin so of course I headed over to find out who was here for trail rides. Today there were 3 trail rides scheduled. The first was Noah and his brother Drake (Nate and Brook's boys).
 Cookie was not sure she wanted to go out 3 times at least that is what I thought she meant when she stuck her tongue out.

 She is really releasing any anxiety or as Karin calls it releasing her rabbits by yawning. This is a good thing.  Drake rode Cookie while Noah rode Missy.
This first trail ride Karin took the chain saw to cut down some low hanging branches for the next 2 rides. Sally was asked to take Karin and the chain saw.
 The dogs love going on these trail rides.


 After the 3 time on the trails Pax came back here and was too tired to jump through the dog door into the house. The flushed out a turkey but I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of it.  The boys had a lot of fun with the horses.
 From there they came over to see Lola's colt.
 The next group that went out was Wren (Beth's grand daughter) who ride Cookie, Aubrey (Joan's grand daughter)who rode Missy and Berlica (Joan's daughter) who rode Sally.


 The last group was Faith (Joan's daughter) riding Sally, Ava (Joan's grand daughter) riding Missy and Takoa (Beth's grand daughter) riding Cookie. 
 Karin left Noah and Drake ride Valiant.

 Mark cleaned the far shelter out today so the 2 mares and colts were put in the pond pasture while that happened. 
Below is Oksana's colt showing off. 

 Lots of pictures were taken of all 3 rides, the boys riding Valiant, playing with Lola's filly and the colts playing together. If you would like to see them click HERE. The barn was swept up before heading to the house to cook supper. After supper Mark went out to mow. I needed to take a shower before church tonight but when I got into the shower instead of getting warm it turned freezing cold. Bummer we lost our hot water heater. I cleaned up best I could and sat down at the computer then looked down and Pax was laying under the desk with a half of a rabbit. The bottom half of the rabbit. I think Mark ran over it with the mower.  Then when I went outside to get ready to leave for church there was the rabbit's head. That poor thing must have died very quickly.  The head was put in the garbage with the lower half of the body. 
We went to mom's for the Good Friday service. Ruth and Fedi brought their big screen again and we used Fedi's phone service to run the Facebook live. Mike Reiker had the message.
This message was, in Mike's words, "All about the blood." 
This Good but SO Hard Friday our Lord and Savior went through on that Friday so many years ago just for US. Is HE Worthy? HE IS:
