Is She Ever?

 The horses were checked early, Aiken's udder was swollen again but by tonight it was flat so I'm not sure what to think. We picked up Rhonda and got to church before Joan arrived with mom but after Kathy arrived with Nancy. Tim Roecker had the morning message. If interested in listening to that message click HERE. Dave and Kathy served lunch today. We serve next week and Mark thought they had a good lunch so wants to copy what they bought. Ray came over to talk with his fancy Cub tie.

Mike Kaisner had the afternoon message, click HERE to watch that. Mark and I took mom, Nancy and Kristin home in mom's wheel chair van while Joan took our car to Washington for baptisms. We noticed as we drove up the farmer was here bailing the hay.  After getting home the taco meat was put on the stove to warm up, the peppers and onions were prepared for sautéing, the rice was cooked and placed in a crockpot. All of the food was taken over to the barn. Looking out the barn window we could see some of the 43 bales. 
Later I went out to check the hay and pulled out a handful from the middle of a round bale.
It is good and dry, smells good and has nice color. The horses will do fine on it.
Dinner was delicious with hot apple pie and cold vanilla icecream for dessert. It was so hot outside that after dinner a lot of them ended up in the lake
but there were those crazy volleyball players who insisted on playing outside.

Rhoda and Lee took Nancy home for me. I'm always grateful for that as it is a 50 mile trip and a good hour when I take her home. Instead I prepared the stalls for Aiken and Titus then started teasing mares. Thaila the 2 year old is the only one coming into season tonight and she is too young to breed.
I'll need to haul her out to Middle Grove tomorrow If I have time and try to bring Tessa, the 3 year old Friesian mare here. Valerie was saying NO very dramatically.
Screaming and kicking out. Below Valerie and Holly are greeting each other. 
Thalia and Valerie were moved in the paddock next to Valiant as I didn't want Thalia teasing Evan, then Holly and Curlin brought over to tease. Both of them are not interested in Evan. Evan is locked in his paddock again and these 2 mares are now put in the pasture so they can visit him when ever they want.
Titus and Aiken were brought into the stalls and Aiken's udder checked. It had flattened again. Crazy as this morning it was quite swollen. Is she ever going to have this foal?
