On our walk this morning we were on Joan's retention dam when the pair of geese accidently showed us their nest. The gander came swimming from by the dam, that startled the goose, she stood up from the nest and we could see the eggs she has been incubating. She is in the middle of the picture below and you can see a part of the white eggs under her. She is very well camouflaged. 
When we got to Ruth's car she told us to stop. She has been down sizing and cleaned out her coat closet. She wanted to see if we wanted any of the coats she brought. She brought out a leather coat and then pulled out MY coat. This coat Mark gave me for my birthday a couple years ago. When it went missing it gave him a good excuse to buy another, this time for Christmas and we put my name on. Well now we have matching coats.
These are water proof wind breakers and are an easy fit over my sweatshirt. I must have left it at her house and it got put in her coat closet. We wore those coats this morning to Bloomington, IL. I drove the motorhome and Mark drove his car to Cumming's Inc to get the generator looked at. the technician came right out and started to examine it, telling us the job scheduled for today didn't show up so he would look at ours. We left there in high hopes we would be returning this afternoon to pick it up. On the way home we stopped at Kroger and picked up two boxes of pecan sticky buns for Berean tomorrow. After not hearing from the technician by 3:30 pm I finally called and was told he was not able to look at it but would tomorrow. Since we would not be going back to Bloomington, I took the truck and trailer to Middle Grove to pick up Sheena, Rosaleigh, Missy and Cookie. Sheena is obviously pregnant and due April 30th. Rosaleigh is due April 23rd and does not look as pregnant.
She looks fat but does not stick out like I expected. So Is she or isn't she? I put these two in Evan's pasture and will watch them the rest of today and tomorrow. Right now she is ignoring Evan. These two will be moved to the cabin field. Right now both of these mares have flat udders so no worry about them delivering anytime soon.
Missy and Cookie were put in the middle paddock.
Berlica is going to take these two mares to Co-op for her pony express project. Tonight Mark wanted a hair cut and that was done after supper. The last load of laundry is now in the wash and once that is done it will be bed time. The older we get the more we look forward to bedtime.
