It was another warm morning, when we awoke it was already 40 degrees and by this afternoon had hit 50. Lots of melting of those huge piles of snow was happening pretty much all day. By this evening the rain moved in. The snow is supposed to arrive early morning. I drove to Pekin, IL to pick up some groceries at Aldi. Dr. Hoerr called while I was shopping and tentatively made arrangements to stop by in a couple of hours with some visitors. As soon as I got home and the groceries were put away I started bringing in the horses to try to dry them off. Thankfully none of them were very muddy. Before the first was brought inside, Dr. Hoerr sent a text that he was going to have to cancel. I was VERY glad that I didn't have to slop through the melting ice to bring the horses in. Below is Evan.
Valiant was keeping a close eye on me to make sure I didn't take Evan out. He really does not like Evan and to think they used to be best friends.
Rockaway was up begging for attention.
Below is Sally. I had asked Dr. Hoerr to bring his ultrasound machine if he was going to come. We would like to find out if Sally conceived in December when she broke out of the cabin field to come flirt with Valiant. We will just have to wait now to find out. Sally has beautiful foals when bred to Valiant. They are tall, well built and all black. If she did conceive she would be due in December of this year.
Below is Dancer (out of Jewel by Evan) She will be 2 years old in a couple months and when Dr. Hoerr comes to ultrasound Sally we will have her wolf teeth pulled. Dancer inherited Evan's mega hair and is already over 16 hands and not yet 2 years old. Behind Dancer is Sheena.
At 4:00 pm I left for the Peoria airport to pick up Aunt Jinnie. We are thrilled to have her back. Sarah Reinhard brought over lobster and ribeye steaks for the special welcoming dinner. Karin cooked the steaks.
The dinner was amazing. They also had buttered sautéed mushrooms and onions, and a delicious salad. Ruth took the evening shift tonight and turned Church on Facebook live for mom and Aunt Jinnie. Mark and I went to church and got to sit with David and Elisabet. Tim Funk had the message. After church a bunch went out to Culvers for a late supper but we drove home. It was raining quite hard. As soon as we got home Mark put his car in the indoor arena. I followed him up with my car and took him down to the house so he didn't have to tromp through the mud and rain. Thankful we have plenty of room to keep the vehicles inside tonight.
