Returns
We walked earlier today. Ruth sent a message asking if anyone had any diapers. Anni was in labor so she and Fedi took the 2 older children and went to mom's house at 3:40 am. The only one here in the neighborhood that had diapers was Rachel. She is the grandma to many babies and toddlers. Fedi took the boys on the golf cart in front of the walkers. They had some happy smiles for the ride.
Fedi did too, although you can't really tell by the picture below.
We got notice while still on the walk that baby number 3 was safely here. On the walk we noticed a goose family with some newly hatched goslings on the retention pond.
Behind them was another nest. Joan was able to get close enough from the other side to check it out.
This pair is sitting on 6 eggs. After the walk Mike came over to help get Basilea covered with Valiant and Thalia covered with Evan. As long as I had the two stallions out I went to work on their tails. Last year they were very matted and instead of brushing them out and getting out all of the knots I just ignored it. Well their tails grow so fast this year they were both dragging on the ground and the matts were now impossible to removed. I started cutting them off but was not making much progress. Mike used his saw and finished the job. Their tails are still plenty long enough for swatting flies. I should have taken an after picture but didn't think of that. Below are the two tails that were cut off.
At our house the dishes needed to be done from all the cooking yesterday. The stove was cleaned up and more laundry done. Next came the barn. The kids gave me this beautiful flower arrangement for Mother's Day 
Sally is just a perfect horse except she is 25 years old. On the way back to the house after dropping off the garbage I had to staop to take a picture of Quinten petting Izzy. 
Joan gave us back the other golf cart now that she is no longer living at mom's. That meant tonight I had to clean out the garage so we can fit both golf carts inside. I almost finished and was able to get them both inside but not quite far enough to shut the garage door. There is one more thing about 10 inches wide that can be moved but it was very heavy so will wait for Mark to help tomorrow. Braelyn is cleaning the apartment tonight. I stopped up to grab some of the laundry as I brought some hand towels from the barn that need to be washed too. Those are in the washer now. Mark brought up the mail. Some sympathy cards had come. Thank YOU for those who sent them. That is something I never think to do but now that I'm on the receiving end should start. They really do mean a lot.
I left it at the barn as we will be hosting a dinner tomorrow evening then just having our meals all together over there. I worked over there until 1:30 pm and finally came back here sat down, picked up a book to read and fell asleep. We started getting messages from mom's side of the family and now have family coming in from California, Utah, and Michigan. Diane and Ruth spent the day getting mom's house ready for company. We are all so glad they are coming. Mike brought Sally over after doing the trails on the other side of the creek.
