Mowing Day
I sat down to read this morning, I'm in 1st Chronicles and sometimes Chronicles is hard. Chapter 22 was today's reading. but even before I opened the Bible I was praying that I would find exactly what I need out of today's reading even asking God, "I know the Word is a living Word, open my eyes to what YOU would want me to read. Chapter 22 is where David is laying up all the supplies for his son to build the temple. The commentary on this chapter was eye opening.
It was SO clear So perfectly timely as we are leaving Saturday for our Sceggel vacation. I pray for my children and grandchildren but after reading this I should also tell them that not only do I pray for them but what I pray for them. Maybe on this trip I will have the opportunity to be with each one.
Ruth didn't walk this morning, she has been busy caring for sick grandchildren. When we reached Diane's house we needed to admire the Kubota she and Mike drove to pick up yesterday.
It is actually 32 years old but only has something like 400 hours on it. The owner was a barn lady, her husband was the one who would drive it to scoop poop, put it in the manure pile a maybe move snow each winter. The owners were moving and also gave Mike about $500.00 worth of used tack, halters, bridles and other fun things. We can't wait to see all of that. We got to Joan's house, I was looking at the 2005 motorhome floor, turned and saw what I thought was a loose horse. Nope, it was only Penny, Berlica had her tied to the trampoline while she went to get something from the house.
She was riding her bareback today.
Today was mowing day around here. Mackenson took the push mower over to the farm house and started mowing there, Berlica took the diesel grass hopper and started mowing the barn yards, Joan took the gas grass hopper and mowed the playground and all around here. When Berlica finished the barn area and the farm house yards I took that mower and mowed both pastures finishing around 4:00 pm. No pictures, I left the phone at home so it wouldn't fall out of my pocket and get run over. The diesel mower was then given to Joan to finish up all the yards going down to the lake. My next job was to move bales in. Ribbon's old paddock (now Rosaleigh and her colt's) got a bale and Evan's paddock got a bale. It sounds like an easy job but first Evan needed to be moved into the pasture behind his paddock then locked out of his paddock so the gate to the shelter could be left open. Once that bale was in and the gate shut, Evan was called back in with grain and the gate between his paddock and pasture was locked. Next Rosaleigh and her colt were enticed into their pasture by some grain in a bucket so they could be locked out of their paddock. The gate to that paddock was left open and the tractor brought in first to move the old hay off of the feeder so the new bale could be placed on the feeder. Once the bale was in the back gate going to the pasture was opened up and both Rosaleigh and her colt came running back in. it was 5:00 pm by the time all of that was done. Just enough time to get showers and ready for church. Tonight church was held at the fellowship hall. The group that went to Jamaica all came in their trip T Shirts. They each talked about the highlights, sang us a couple songs, one completely in sign language, then showed us a slide presentation. We didn't leave there until 8:30 pm and went straight home. Today was a good day!
