The roasts were in the crock pot with all the seasonings cooking by 6:30 am. Mark went out early but came back within less than a minute to let me know that colt was out again. Dancer's colt must have a secret escape route as he was out yesterday morning and again today. None of the gates were open and I drove the golf cart around to see if there were any downed fences. What a mystery. He doesn't run from me, just waits until I hook him up and put him back in.
On the way up to the apartment the mist coming off the fields were hovering just a few feet above the ground.
I took the picture below as I was checking fences.
I took one more picture of that useless crop of fox tail waving in the front.
Disco was content to be back in the paddock and went right into the shelter joining the other 4 horses to eat off the hay bale.
Looking back toward the breeding shed you can see the mist going over the building with the sun lighting it up.
We left for church a couple minutes late, picked up Rhonda first then Braelyn. Today was a special day for the Peoria church. We had a lot of different families here for the baptisms this afternoon. Mike Kaisner had the morning message on Luke 15 and Colossians 1. Click HERE to watch that message. Gregg Rumbold had the afternoon baptism message reading from Romans 5. Once the ministers walked off the pulpit and Ted, Tim and Berlica with their parents were standing up front, all of the young children were welcome to sit in the front of the church to watch those 3 getting baptized. Click HERE to watch that message. It really was a special Sunday. After we all had a chance to meet them we were invited into the lunch room for a treat. The pictures below were taken after eating our ice cream and caramel corn.
We didn't get home from church until after 2:30 pm. As soon as I had changed the carrots were set to boil and the mini potatoes were cooked in the microwave. As those were cooking the roasts were shredded and put in one crock pot while leaving the drippings in the other crock pot for the carrots and potatoes . Those were cooked until they were almost soft then put in crockpot with the beef drippings to finish cooking. The rolls were put in the oven to bake and once everything was done all of the food was taken over to the barn. Rebekah and Bethany brought all of their kids over and Sarah used Missy to give rides to 12 kids while I was cooking and not a single picture was taken. They all had a wonderful time on this 59 degree mild November 23rd, 2025. Bethany's family ate at mom's house where Joan also made a big pot roast with all the fixens. Rebekah and Anni went to Ruth's house where Ruth had a supper prepared. We had Rhoda's, Sarah's, Philip's family plus Amy and Ken. After supper everyone ended up at the barn. Below are few pictures of the evening.
What a wonderful wonderful Sunday.
Sarah just sent a text that Disco was out again. She put him away for me. Tomorrow I will shut the back gate to the pond pasture. He must be finding a way out that way.
