Big Storms Coming
I left early for the Berean office so I could stop at Sam's club first. We needed cream for the coffee, small plates for our dessert and napkins. Even with shopping first I was there at 8:47 am. Of course Skip was ready to dock my pay. Sharon showed up even later. Why she arrived just before 9:00 am and Skip told her he would dock her pay too. We all had to laugh. We had Shirley, Ray, Skip, Marvin, Shirl, Sharon and me today for volunteers. Vonnie and Kathy couldn't make it today. We were easily able to finish on time. We had more studies come in today than last week but less Bible requests. I was a little busy so forgot to take even one picture. The studies and Bibles going out today were dropped off at the Hanna City post office. I also asked for 3 more white tubs since I didn't pick any up last week. Rhoda and Sarah were here when I got home. Rhoda had given a lesson to Iris before I arrived. Zeke was just getting ready for his turn on Jury.
Zion was helping me grain Tessa when Zeke was taking a turn.
Next on Jury was Zion. Rhoda gave her real riding lesson, just like she gave Iris earlier.
Since I wasn't there for a picture of Iris Rhoda said she would send one but hasn't yet. Today Tessa and her filly joined the other two mares with foals in the pasture. Tessa is just coming into her foal heat. She ran over to Evan (her sire) and stood there while he talked to her, Rosaleigh, Tessa's dam got between them and Tessa left but when Rosaleigh left to watch over her colt. Tessa came back, her filly walked over to her grand dam Rosaleigh and Rosaleigh let her know to back off. That got both the filly and Tessa running.
Rosaleigh's colt just stood there watching everything.
Once I knew everything would be fine I went over to the lake where the grandkids were having fun boating. Sarah was watching all the kids while Rhoda took Jury out on a trail ride.
They all went over to Joan's to look at the fawns. Below they are getting ready to boat back. David is in the canoe fishing near the dam.
For her first day back Jury is doing ok.
She did the entire 'death trail' but it took a while. Rhoda had to convince her it was safe. They made it back fine. After Jury was put away Rhoda worked with Izzy and taught her a new trick.
Berlica and Israel went riding too today. They also did the entire 'death trail' and all went well.
This evening we were watching news when Peoria was mentioned. Peoria is right in the middle of the highest category for the big storms coming tomorrow with a high chance of hail and tornados. We decided we had to put the vehicles all inside. Mark drove his black car up to the barn. I backed the truck and stock trailer into the indoor then we took the second golf cart over to mom's garage. On the way back we noticed Mike and Diane's Prius sitting out so moved that into Mike's new barn.
All garage doors were shut and we are kind of prepared. Tomorrow morning I'll bring all 3 mares with foals inside. If there is hail those foals might not be smart enough to stay under the shelters.
