Another storm moved in last night and dropped another inch of rain. This is getting crazy, our round pen is now under water. When we drove out of our drive I happened to look to the left and saw a tree down across the dam drive going to Rachel's house.
She and David were not going to be on time for church unless they left with a chain saw in their car. We didn't see it until we left at 9:00 am so they didn't get much notice. When we left for church it was a beautiful sunny morning but when we left church to come home we could see storm clouds in the West, right where we live and sure enough it started raining not long after we got home. We really did enjoy church though, David Beutel had the morning message, click HERE if you would like to watch that. Rick Kaisner had the afternoon message on the statement of faith. Click HERE to watch that. We took Nancy home after church and sent Karin a message that Nancy would be at our house for her tea time. I was supposed to drive our guests to the airport leaving at 2:00 pm but their plane got delayed. I drove over to visit with them. Sarah and Nolan's family were there working with Harli and her colt. Braelyn was also there. She came to clean the apartment but since the guests couldn't move out I blocked that off for the night. Braelyn will clean tomorrow morning. Early this morning I had 2 crockpots of potroast, carrots and potatoes cooking on low. Those were taken over to the barn along with the watermelon. Cate and Nicole wanted some horsemeister shirts so I gave them one for each of them and one for Cate's husband. When I picked them up at 3:30 pm to take them to the airport they were wearing their shirts. They will be advertising for us all the way to Maine. They enjoyed their stay and we enjoyed meeting them. I stopped at Aldi before going home to pick up ice cream and cookies for our dessert tonight as I didn't have time to bake. We had a good group for supper and thoroughly enjoyed visiting after supper. Nancy stayed for supper, Spark and Rhonda, Mike and Diane, Ken and Amy along with our children and grandchildren all ate and we still had leftovers. Either I cooked too much or maybe it didn't taste good but Mark thought it was delicious so I think I probably just cooked more than needed. After supper Rhoda and Sarah took Tessa and her filly out to get some updated pictures of the filly for the website. She is 2 months and a week old now and is fantastic!
I had a tough time deciding which ones to post on the website. They did not get good action shots as the round pen was flooded. It started raining again and we couldn't believe how hard it was raining after supper. The ground is so soft now as it is completely saturated with well over 8 inches of rain. Our big news here was Elijah came and cemented the pipe going into the house. That will stop the rain and mud from coming into the mechanical room. A very good day!
