Ice Snow Wind
We awoke to cold, wind and blowing snow. Dan and Susan were on their way to the barn from their house in Goodfield and reported the roads were terrible. They sent back pictures of Trucks and cars in the ditch. Spark and Rhonda left early for Missouri and also sent back pictures. It really wasn't a good day to travel.
I knew Dan made it when he sent the picture below.
The wedding guests that stayed in the barn, the foaling apartment and Diane's basement were all from Florida and we were not sure they should try to start their drive back home. Some of them waited until 11:00 am before leaving. The foaling apartment booked for tonight so as soon as the Florida guests were gone I took the golf cart up with cleaning supplies to get that ready for the next guests. The Florida guests were so thrilled with the snow that they made a snowman last night before the bitter cold came and placed it on the porch of the foaling apartment. 
She meant mom and the kittens. Mark took the golf cart and a snow shovel to the apartment and shoveled a path to the doorway. It wasn't easy as there is just so much ice.
That was left for the new guests but it will probably only last for 2 more days as we are expecting a warm up then. Meanwhile Dan, Susan and Levi were hard at work at the barn organizing and loading the van and their car. They ended up taking two trips and will need to take one more tomorrow. Susan got all of the bedrooms and bathrooms cleaned in the barn. I took a lot of the towels and some of the sheets to use my machines here at the house and the foaling apartment machines. The final load was finished around 5:30 pm. There is still work to do there but we have plenty of time to get it ready for the next event. I was going to take my car over to the barn but with first the rain then the snow it was all iced up. It only got worse late today, more wind, more snow and falling temperatures. Tomorrow morning is going to start out around 8 degrees. I want the Berean volunteers to feel free to stay home tomorrow as with the blowing snow and cold weather I don't want anyone to get hurt and have the time to stay and get the work done myself. I called Ruth to tell her mom would be staying home tomorrow as I will need to drive my car with it's snow tires. Ruth sent back a picture of mom petting the kittens. She wrote, they are both fragile.
We have a fire going in the wood burner and I have just 3 books left to finish from the books Rhoda and Iris found. They are old fashioned mysteries, easy reading and I'm enjoying them when I get the time to sit in the evenings. Once the last 3 are read I would be glad to give them to anyone interested. They are hardback books and most are written by the same author so the characters stay the same through all of the Mystery Martha Vineyard books. The 3 Mystery at Lancaster county books are of stories of 3 sisters and a couple of those are by different authors but still of the 3 same sisters.
