Mark got up around 4:30 am to get the fire started as it was another really cold morning. All of the horses have enough hay to munch on to keep plenty warm, even on these cold snowy mornings.
I headed over to mom's at 7:20 am to find mom up and Joan already at work. After giving me the update of the night Joan left for home. Mom wanted eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast. She really enjoys those farm fresh eggs from Tina Davidovics. Joan brought the school books and the kids back by 8:30 am so I left for home to get a few things done here before heading down to the Peoria post office to pick up the Berean mail. We had a lot of mail waiting for us, more than double from last week. From the post office I drove to Sarah's house to drop off Stephanie's birthday card. David has it pretty nice with a wife that has a birthday ON Valentine's day. I was due back at mom's at 1:00 pm but the company coming to finish the garage doors on the new barn almost made it up to the top of the hill before sliding all they way back down. They had a 2 wheel truck pulling a trailer with a lift and could not make it up the hill with the ice and snow. The picture below is after they were able to stop sliding.
Our lanes are really difficult in the winter. Snow tires or 4 wheel drive are almost a must when living out here. I thought the tractor was going to be needed and had Joan offer to bring it down with straps but they made it out onto the road without our assistance in time for her to take Faith to the dentist. The garage doors will not be finished until the lanes are passable.
