Her colt was left in the paddock and that actually went better than moving him into the breeding stand paddock. Today was laundry day for me. Now that we have propane I could do wash here at the house. I had so many towels that needed to be washed and dried from the flood in the basement. The machines weren't working well, so once they were washed they were hung all over the deck to mostly dry in the sun then taken in and finished in the dryer. That took almost all day.  Mark was using the Kubota to fill in the holes from the new water pipes.

We also got a broken board replaced in the last paddock. Mike used the big Excavator to clear the trails of all the downed trees and also knocked down any that were hanging over the drive. He needed the big machine as some of the trees that fell over the trails were massive. 

The overflow syphon wasn't working correctly on the lake. Joan decided to check to see if there was a dead muskrat or turtle stuck in like last year. We all know the horror story of when Kitty Berchtold's father drowned while trying to clear an overflow to their pond. I took the golf cart, tied two lead ropes together, tied one to the golf cart and Joan tied the other to the canoe so she would have something to hold on to before checking out the pipe. In the picture below you can see Joan in the water feeling for the pipe.

She was able to put the canoe paddle in but nothing was stuck inside, at least near the entrance. Tomorrow she will try something different to create a syphon by blocking the exit until the pipe fills up with water.  I needed to leave a little after 5:00 pm to pick up Braelyn from volleyball practice at Farmington High School. Took her home then picked up Mark and we left for church.  Gabe had the message tonight on Job 23 and Mathew 28. If you would like to watch that click HERE. After church we joined the group at Culvers. It was raining when we left church.
