Busy Tuesday
I needed to go up to the stall barn early in order to get everything done that needed to be done. Rosaleigh and Star were both grained. While they were eating their water buckets were filled and the stalls cleaned. Rosaleigh and her colt were moved outside into the paddock right next to the stall barn. Filling the wheel barrow with hay was next. It took about 40 minutes to get everything done. After cleaning up I took the golf cart over to mom's. We left for the Berean office a little late but still made it before 9:0 am. Kathy couldn't come today so Skip was our only reader. Marvin was back and discovered another new rule on why we can't send a Bible to Michigan. Mom has been working on stamping the return address on the envelopes and we now have a whole box of them.
Shirley was in charge of the postage machine today. We got notice the postage rates are going up again next week.
Vonnie, Shirl and Skip kept busy with studies and Bibles.
We didn't have an abundance of mail and were able to be done by 11:00 am this morning. We stopped at the Hanna City post office to drop off the Bibles and studies going out. Kathy, the post mistress came out as I was grabbing the very full post office box and offered to take it inside. Now that was service. Even after explaining it was very heavy, she lifted it and said, "no problem, I'm glad to take it in." Joan was home waiting for mom so I left to get some work done here. After changing my clothes Valerie was pulled out. She IS in season and Mike came over to help get her covered. She actually stood very well. She was taken to the round pen then left to graze a bit in there while I got the mares and foals out. Star and her foal were taken out to the outdoor arena while Rosaleigh was just let loose in the field with her colt. She was on high alert.
No one was going to get too near HER baby!. She soon settled down to eat, took a big bite then lifted her head to watch her colt as he was running circles around her.
Star's two day old filly stuck close to her mom.
Valerie was worked about 10 minutes in the round pen. She remembered everything we had done yesterday and I was pleased.
The yearlings were locked in their paddock so Evan could be turned out into his pasture.
Mike got the cabin field ready for the yearlings. He took Disco/Cabo with his 4 wheeler, I took Dahlia with the golf cart while Shadow and Roseberry were just left loose to follow. Below is Dahlia checking out the flat bed trailer. 
I don't think they remembered being in the cabin field and were very excited to be there but not quite sure what to do. They were given some grain. Mike took the 4 wheeler back over to bring back Sally. They all rushed to the gate to watch her coming.
Once they were settled I went back to turn the 2 mares with foals out in the pasture. Each was curious of each other but not enough to get close. They felt they must protect their foals. I watched them for about 40 minutes to make sure there were no squabbles. Rosaleigh went over to check out Evan.
Star took her filly into the paddock giving Rosaleigh the entire field.
The mare that was most upset today was Blueberry. After Mike to Sally to the cabin field she called and paced back and forth at the fenceline until Mike took her over to the cabin field and then all was well.
I needed to be at mom's by 6:30 pm. Her flowers are really beautiful right now and her yard sweet smelling.
It was a beautiful evening, Mark got weed whacking done while I was at mom's. The lights were on at the barn when I got home. The Airbnb guests are using the indoor arena lights when they walk their dog. The picture below was taken from my drive looking up and over to the barn. The light in the sky is the crescent moon.
