Thankful

 For some reason it was hard to wake up this morning. Probably too excited about those new truck tires. Mark needed breakfast early as he was driving to a meeting in Bloomington that started at 8:00 am. Again I only did one round of walk as I needed to pick up mom and Aunt Jinnie for Bereans. We pulled out at 8:15 and into the Berean parking lot by 8:45 am only to find 7 cars were already parked and volunteers were already busy.

Below is a short video of some of our morning there.

We stopped at the Hanna City post office on the way home to drop off the Bibles and studies going out today. When we turned into the drive the utility people were working on taking down tree limbs up our driveway.

When Karin got home I left to let Lily, her colt, Rosalie and Rosalie out to graze for the first time in about 4 days. 

Below is a short video of Lily's colt. Cookie was not let out to graze, she kept calling for him so he kept running over to see why she wasn't coming. Cookie will founder on spring grass so she can't be let out to graze as much.

Valiant was staring at the colt as he was running in the paddock.

Rosaleigh was teased first and she is still saying no. Big Rosalie was teased next and she is still in so was covered by Evan then put back out to graze. These 3 mares and the colt will be left out for the night. When I got back into the house the 16 pounds of ground beef, 16 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 8 cups of quick oatmeal, 8 cups of chopped and diced onion, 16 teaspoons of salt, 16 eggs and  12 cups of milk were all mixed up. I had to mix it in 2 batches. The first batch was done At 4:30 when Anna dropped off Braelyn. Braelyn needed to be at Limestone high school for practice at 5:00 pm as Anna had to take the other 2 girls to two different practices.  Berlica was busy mowing when I got home. Mark wanted help pushing the really old golf cart into the back garage. After that was done as I was walking back to the house I took the picture of Berlica mowing.

I was able to get the second batch of meat loaf mixed up before picking up Braelyn from practice. That is now in the fridge.

Tomorrow that will be covered with the sauce and baked for Family night.

Braelyn was taken to McDonalds for a late supper.

Berlica was still mowing when I got back the second time. That mower has such good bright lights she AND Mackenson were mowing in the dark.

I'm so very thankful we live here, so many willing to help when help is needed.
