Saturday

 We had 2 inches of rain yesterday and during the night. We even lost electricity for a short while. 

The Iris plant started blooming.

At 8:10 our visitors from Forrest arrived to return a couple items to the barn and see the farm. Below they are visiting with Mike and Diane.

They left at 9:00 am to continue their trip to Iowa. I was due at mom's. Karin left a little early. Mom had a wren family move into her log cabin birdhouse. I watched as the wren flew in and out and finally landed on the roof.

Mom was watching a movie while I was watching the bird so ignore the sound.

After lunch we went out on the deck to enjoy the warmth. Philip had his girls out fishing.

We were able to see the goose family with their 5 goslings swim across over to Joan's beach. When Karin arrived I left to tease mares. Lily was covered first by Valiant then Rosalie by Evan. Lily and her colt were put in the outdoor arena so I could get a few updated pictures for the website. This colt has the typical big movement. 

Today he had the zoomies.

Mark was working on installing the lithium battery on the golf cart.

At 5:10 pm Diane, Ruth and I met over at mom's to take mom and Aunt Jinnie to the community sing at the fellowship hall. That was well attended. 

We enjoyed it but when it came time to leave we ran into some problems. Ruth went out to start the van while I brought mom out in the wheel chair. Ruth started the van got out and a gust of wind slammed the door shut and when that happened all of the doors were locked. We called Joan to see if she knew if we had a second set but she didn't know and recommended I call Spark. He didn't know so I called Karin. She could not find a set. Ruth called Fedi and triple A and which ever arrived first to get the door open would win. Meanwhile Ruth and I helped mom into Diane's van. Diane had to put the seats up. Mike had the back loaded with 2 sacks of 80 pound each cement that had to be moved. Ruth was able to move the cement to make room for mom's wheel chair and we made it home.

Ruth stayed at the fellowship hall to wait for Fedi and if he wasn't able to get the van doors open then triple A. We do not know when she finally made it home but it was sure a late night for us.
