More Snow

 I went out this morning to walk over to mom's when I heard a stallion screaming. Valiant was in his paddock so I knew it must be Evan. Sure enough Missy was out and over bothering him. She came running to me and I clipped a lead rope on her but was searching for the 4 weanlings believing they must be out also as they share a paddock with her. They weren't in sight but Mark was. He had the golf cart and came driving down from the barn. I realized then that the gate to the shelter had come off the hinge but all 4 weanlings were still in the paddock. Missy was put away and Mark helped get the gate back on. When I arrived at mom's she was still in bed. She has a cold and was coughing during the night so wanted to sleep in. Diane joined us on speaker phone and Ruth, Joan, Diane and I visited in mom's room until after 8:00 am. Ruth was excited to share that she is going to be a grandmother again in March. Matt and Anni are expecting. Right after breakfast I left with Mark's car for Sam's club then Aldi. We were really out of groceries after the last 4 days plus I needed to restock paper plates and plastic ware at the barn. As soon as I got home and the groceries were put away Mark and I went up to hook the truck up to the 2 horse trailer as Joan needed it at noon. We had to shovel a drift away from the front of the trailer first then once it was hooked up it needed to be cleaned out.

Joan took it to Calvary Baptist to pick up the props for the Taste of Madrigal. When she arrived there was a car parked in the area she usually parks the trailer so she went the other direction and the trailer hit the beam. Just so you know Joan is a very careful driver and has taken this trailer many times to transport the Co-op props and this is the first time she has had an accident. 

She couldn't find the current insurance card but when she called I couldn't find it here at the house either. I was able to call our insurance agent and they emailed the current card. Mike went to Middle Grove to check on the herd and sent back the video below:

It started snowing again this afternoon and by 4:00 pm we had a couple more inches. We will probably end up with 3 by the time it stops tonight. The snow was beautiful, light and fluffy and gleaming like diamonds.

Above is as the flakes were landing on the golf cart with each individual snow flake different. Below is near the South barn door.

I was collecting the sheets and towels from the guests over the weekend. All of the laundry was brought to the house but not started. I'll have to do that tomorrow. 

I took a butter braid out and am letting that rise. It will be baked tomorrow morning for the Berean volunteers. 

Nolan tried to get his work truck back here since Mark had put down sand yesterday on the drives but with the 3 inches of new snow he got stuck again. This time Mike pulled him out then drove him to Meisters to pick up the 2011 truck which has 4 wheel drive. It isn't pretty but at least he will be able to get up and down our drive and go to work.
