Berean Day
I woke up and thought, "today is Berean day" and had to smile. We really enjoy enjoy going and working with the best of the best! Ruth and Fedi are still out camping in their new truck camper and enjoying Niagara Falls so is not here to walk with us. She IS sending back pictures and videos.
Diane, Joan and I walked and on our way to the barn ran into Berlica riding Basilea and Zion riding Penny.
They were heading down to the trails.
It is wonderful that Sarah and Nolan live so close to us. Sarah is bringing Zion out to ride before the day gets too hot to do anything. I only walked one round so I could leave by 8:00 am for the Berean office. Sarah sent the picture below of them coming across the field to the barn after the trails.
We had a decent amount of mail today and was glad for everyone that came. Kristen came again but we were most thankful that Bruce came. He is the best at the postage machine. We had studies come back from Jackson, MI for more postage. Marvin weighed them on his scale and the were all right at 1ounce but when he put them on the postage machine scale each was slightly over 1 ounce and I mean very slightly. It was Sharon that came up with the best idea.
If you guessed cut some of the paper off on the studies, you guessed right. Why didn't the rest of us think of that. We all had to laugh.
Marvin has a paper cutter so he brought that out and all going to Jackson, MI got the sides trimmed, just a tiny bit but that put it under the ounce. All of those got sent back plus all going out today to that prison got trimmed. We were busy today. Skip had to leave for Sam's to buy more paper and more envelopes. Amazing how often that happens. He got back in plenty of time to help with the Bibles. I left there and went straight to Meisters to drop off studies for grading then to the Hanna City post office to drop off all the mail going out today. When I got home it was really hot and humid. Too hot to work outside so instead I read a book finishing that around 4:30 pm. Sarah sent back pictures of her working with Harli. Her colt learned what fly spray, lead ropes and plastic bags taste like, and what his mom looks like when carrying a tarp.
The tarp didn't bother him at all. The video below shows the fly spray taste.
Last night Mike brought Missy and 3 weanlings home from Middle Grove so moved Jewel, Rosalie and Missy here. When Sarah got here Rosalie and Jewel were out grazing and Sarah reported all of the gates were shut. Those 2 mares know where the break in the fence is in the pond pasture and we don't. They are sneaky and only get out when no one is around so this afternoon. They were put in with Penny in the shelter next to Valiant. They are the bosses of the herd and Penny needs to learn she is NOT a boss so hopefully those 2 mares will teach her to submit. Penny has all the other mares here scared of her. Mark came to help move in 4 bales. The middle paddock got a bale, Rosaleigh and Tessa's paddock got a bale, The short shelter paddock got a bale and Evan's paddock got a bale.
By the time the last bale was moved in we were both really hot and sweaty. It was 89 degrees out and very humid. We were hoping for rain but each storm seems to pass us by. Maybe tonight we will get a good shower. Spark and Rhonda came by for a visit. I gave him a really nice letter that came in for the Berean board. It really was a good day.
