Beautiful Flowers

 At 7:30 am I drove to Casey's to pick up a dozen donuts. When I took them to the check out, the receptionist looked at them and said, "we used to ice the pastries." "Yes", I told her, "I'm taking them home and will ice them before giving them to the Berean volunteers."  She exclaimed, we are not busy we will just ice them for you now and they did!  I was thankful.

Mom was picked up next and soon we were on our way to the Berean office. We were really busy today and a little short handed and I didn't remember to take any pictures as we were all busy. Kathy read a very nice letter to us, someone asking for a Bible but also thanking us for all the time and work we do to help prisoners. The donuts were enjoyed after we finished getting the work done. Today we sent out 21 Bibles and probably around 70 Bible studies. Mom's wheel chair van was down to a little more than an eighth of a tank of gas so we stopped at Caseys and I was shocked at the price. It took a little more than 19 gallons to fill her tank a $4.30 a gallon. 
Joan wasn't back yet when we got home. Mom's house is filled with color, so many flowers and plenty of beautiful colored eggs from Easter.
Mom has so many flowers right now. Her birthday was the 30th of March and Aunt Jinnie sent carnations.
Mom was given Easter lilies and many other beautiful flowers.

Mom sure enjoys flowers!
Joan got back about 12:45 pm, once I got home and changed it was time to work with Cabo and Dahlia again. I can no longer call them weanlings. Dahlia turned a year old April 4th and Cabo will be a year old May 5th. They were both muddy when I brought them inside and given their grain.
Dahlia is pictured above and Cabo below.
 They both knew what to expect and both eagerly walked into their stalls. I spent more time with Dahlia today working with her legs and belly. By the time I quit she was standing quietly, at least tolerating the grooming and sometimes even enjoying it.  With mom's work day coming up on the 18th of this month Joan has been working on a list and she wants the saplings on the dam cut down then Tordon applied to each stump. Mark went today to TSC to pick up a couple of quarts of that. Each quart is $24.99 and with tax it came to $54.72 but one of the quarts he will keep for us as we have an abundance of saplings that need to be cut and killed. It was cold today, 33 degrees when I left for Caseys this morning and only up to 42 this afternoon with a brisk wind. The golf cart is still stuck on our drive. Mark has been working on it but was not able to get it going today. Yesterday I was driving it up to the barn and not quite up to the top when the cart slammed to a stop, the brakes froze up even though I hadn't touched those. The switch to put it into tow mode didn't work and that cart won't move an inch. I'm so thankful I can still walk.
