Below he is trimming Missy.

Once they were done those two were put in the stalls to keep dry as it was still raining. I went down to the house to get a few things done before needing to leave for Calvary Baptist. I was taking Missy and Cookie for Berlica who was giving a talk on the pony express. Check out the video below, she did a wonderful job and everyone loved the horses.

Before we unloaded the horses we needed to unload the props for the play. Joan had covered them well with a tarp and that was a good thing as we had quite a bit of rain before it was time to leave. Below Faith is removing the tarp.

The horses were unloaded and taken into the yard while Berlica set up her poster board. Below are just a few pictures of the afternoon.

Of course I took lots of pictures and if you would like to see them click HERE. Once the saddles were put back in the truck and the horses loaded I left for home. There is a lot of road construction on Nebraska the road in front of Calvary Baptist and it was quite rough so I drove pretty slowly. Once I turned on Cameron Ln my phone went off but it was down to 5% battery so the display was dark. I guessed and must have hit the right button as I was able to answer it. Joan was calling to ask if I saw Faith's phone and reported she left it on the bumper of the truck. I had not looked at the truck but checked the trailer before I left as someone had a phone on the wheel well but that one was not Faith's and had been picked up before I left. When I reached the water tower I pulled over to look at the back of the truck just hoping the phone would still be on the bumper but no luck. As soon as I got to my house I jumped out, grabbed a battery pack and hooked that up to the phone so I could call Joan to tell her there was no phone and had just done that when I got to the truck. The phone was on the side rail of the truck.

See it above the wheel? It wasn't until I got close that I noticed it was sitting there.

I couldn't believe it didn't fall off while driving on the rough road construction then didn't fall off when driving up the hill on Farmington road and them driving our steep driveway. What a miracle! As I was still on the phone with Joan she heard me exclaim, "I just found it!" I unloaded the horses, put them away then took the saddles over to the cabin and then drove that phone over to Joan's house and gave it to Kristin. Faith was on her way home but had not yet arrived. She was so relieved to know it was found when she did get back. The fields had dried out so Mark mowed both the stallion pasture and the mare pasture. 

They looked great when he was finished.

I teased Rosaleigh and as she is still in season called to see if Mike would help get her covered. He mentioned that Dancer is starting to bag up but when I checked her she still has a way to go. Sheena is not bagged up at all and she is due in 5 days but has gone 10 days over in the past.

At 4:00 pm Olivia and her mother Dawn arrived to check out the barn. Olivia is getting married here in May and they needed to check measurements. At 4:15 pm a couple came to buy the rest of the rubber flooring squares. I helped take those down the stairs and load them into their car. When I got back to the house I marked them sold on the ad. It took just 2 days to sell them. At 5:45 pm we went over to the barn to roll up the bouncy house. Gary and Marie came at 6:00 pm to pick that up. 

The Lighthouse Academy is borrowing it for their open house tomorrow. On the way back to the house I saw the white egret again flying over the pond. I think we may have a nesting pair as there are two of them but tonight I only saw one.

Watching them fly over the pond in their bright white feathers is a joy to behold. I have not been able to video the flight. I was thankful today for well behaved ponies and of course the miracle of the phone.
