As the weather was warm, 56 degrees and no rain predicted the mares were left out for the night. At 1:00 am I awoke and took the golf cart up to the barn to check on Blueberry. She was fine, both mares were grazing on the hay bale. She was not in labor so I went right back to the house and back to bed not waking until 5:30 am. We again walked the death trails. We are determined to get in shape for our Africa trip as we will be climbing at least some of Kilimanjaro on our trip to Tanzania. Mom and I left for the Berean office about 8:20 am and made it there before 9:00. Below are a few pictures of the volunteers working.
Below is a short video of some of our work.
Kathy brought the treat today and pulled out birthday brownies and mint chocolate chip ice cream. It was also Joan N's birthday so they sang happy birthday to the both of us and then we posed for pictures. 
None of us knew how to take a selfie Joan took the picture above and Shirley took the picture below.
After loading the van with the studies and Bibles going to the mail today mom and I left. We needed to stop at Meisters to pick up mail. Madiera's colt's registration finally made it here and that needed to be mailed to his new owner with a transfer paper. From there we drove to the Hanna City post office to drop off the Bibles. Mom was taken home and I went to my house to print the transfer of ownership paper for the new owner, put that with the registration and dna report then went back to the Hanna City post office and mailed that. Back at the house Rosalie, her filly now named Dahlia and Blueberry were let out into the big field to graze. The filly was so funny, she started galloping around the round pen and made 4 complete loops before settling down to graze with her mama.
Below are are a few pictures of her. She really is quality. 
Blueberry is pictured below.
Mark was working on our drive so the mares were left and I went down to help him.
The trench was dug out then filled with gravel. This is supposed to help with the erosion.
Below he is getting another load of gravel for the second trench.
Mackenson came to help with the second trench.
I left then to check on Sheena and then take Titus to the round pen for some handling. Mike arrived and he led him back.
We are very impressed with this young gelding's mind. He is remembering and learning quickly. Today there was very little drama with the tarp.
Once he was put away I drove over to mom's. Beth and Greg were there.
Beth was busy cooking supper for mom and Karin. They brought some of their fresh caught fish from Gulf Shores and the royal red shrimp. I really arrived at the perfect time to beg for food and they sent me home with a plate for Mark.
This evening the mares were brought into the stalls for the night. The temps are supposed to be in the low 30s. Blueberry's due date is tomorrow. I don't expect her to deliver tonight as she still has no waxing but I just don't want to take a chance and want her on the video.
Below is Rosalie and Dahlia on the monitor. Dahlia laid down to take a nap.
I'm so thankful for those cameras. I'm praying for a safe delivery and a healthy foal.
