Vaccines
After breakfast I drove to Sam's club thinking I would be buying the ingredients for Sunday supper but when I got there the kids started chiming in on how they would skip the dinner and go straight home after Faith and Andrew's wedding reception. I sent back a message that I too would skip and go home from the reception and crash. I still picked up a water melon and more icecream for tonight. When I got home and the food was taken over to the barn and Mark, Mackenson and I started working on the west fenceline. There were so many trees down on that side.
I really dislike working in the weeds and as soon as we thought we had it horse proof went in to wash up, scrubbing everything the weeds touched. Sure hope I don't end up with poison ivy. The mares were let back out into the pond pasture.
They seemed content to settle down to graze. At noon we went over to mom's house for lunch. Rhonda heated up the casserole Gale sent and the meal was delicious.
Below are 4 generations starting with Aunt Jinnie, then Becky, then Becky's daughter Elisabeth and finally Elisabeth's son Jacob.
After lunch we watched the slide video of the pictures of mom. There were supposed to be 250 pictures but we never saw any of Rhonda's pictures which she sent in. I left then to get my dishes done and laundry started. The next job was to give each of the yearlings their shots.
We use the 5 way from Tractor Supply and each yearling stood very quietly. No reaction at all to the needle prick. They are such good babies. Disco, Dahlia, Roseberry and Shadow were given them.
The people buying Dancer's colt arrived to visit with him. He is going to go to his new home next Friday and I think we are going to deliver him. I took the golf cart over to the barn and just as I reached the kitchen door the golf cart made a grinding noise and wouldn't move. That was left there and I walked back and told Mark we were going to have to tow it home. I went to put something away came outside and there was Bethany's mother-in-law and her great niece pushing the golf cart from the barn to our house while Mark sat inside and steered. I took them back to the barn then brought out a couple lead ropes tied them to the back of the working golf cart to the front of the broken golf cart and Mark drove the working one pulling the broken one while I steered all the way to the indoor arena. That was dropped off and it was back to the house for us. We needed to drive Sarah and Nolan's van to Walmart in Morton then meet David to take Israel and Elisabet with us while he and Stephanie went to the rehearsal dinner. We got back to the barn at 6:13 pm, just in time for the supper prayer. Anni, Bethany's mother-in-law and Diane prepared a supper for 25-30 people.
Daisy and Anni like climbing the poles in the dining area.
We were just ready to start the clean up when Ellie sent a message that there were horses out. Elisabet and I used the golf cart to go get them. We looked for the place they got out but couldn't find it. That meant we needed to move another bale in the middle paddock and the horses were locked in there for tonight. By the time we got back from putting all the horses in and securing all of the gates all of the meal clean up was finished. It was dark by then so Israel showed us the light show Mark's car puts on.
We had just come into the house when David arrived to pick up the kids. Thankful for the beautiful weather and the energy we needed to get through today.
