Thankful For Family

 We had a breath of fresh air this morning. We walked outside and immediately noticed the air was cooler and not so humid. It felt wonderful! We felt that all was right with the world and our ducks were in a row. 

Well not really in a row and not even ducks. All 3 geese families were on the retention pond. The morning was not just cooler, it was so peaceful just the sound of birds singing, the morning doves cooing and a bull frog croaking.

Too bad the sound of Rizzy running through the grass and my footsteps are on that video.
On our walk this morning we noticed on of the big hornet nests from last year had blown off the tree and fallen at the cabin.
Walking to mom's we noticed a poor lost frog. Not sure why this frog was on the driveway but he or she were for sure going to the wrong way, heading away from the lake.
We did not catch and release, just left it to find it's own way in this world. I called Hoerr Vet clinic to get an appointment for ultrasounds for 4 mares but couldn't get them in until Thursday morning at 9:30. Diane thought that would work for Mike and I can probably hire Berlica to help with that too. We will need to be loaded and on the road by 9:30 am.  After the walk mom and I left for the Berean office. We had a lot of mail this week which was expected as last week was so light. In the pictures below we are getting ready for the prayer.
At 9:30 am Marvin's phone's alarm goes off and we all migrate to this office. Today was Marvin's turn to have the prayer. It was nice to have Bruce and Leila back. 
Above Vonnie and Leila are getting the Bibles stuffed and wrapped for mailing today. Below Marvin was working on Bible studies. He has the advanced lessons on his computer and prints them out as needed.
We are getting a lot of advanced back and right now have just Gary U and Kathleen K grading those. We will need another grader soon so if this is something you would have time to do and would be willing to help with Marvin can email you the answer key. Fair warning on the advanced lessons there is always an essay question so it takes a bit longer but it is such a good lesson anyone that does it or grades it benefits from it. Below is a short video taken this morning.

We stopped at the Hanna City post office to drop off 2 boxes of Bibles and studies going out in the mail today. When we arrived back at mom's house Sarah and Rhoda were here with their children.
It really was a perfect lake day. I went down to visit with them but had to leave by 1:00 pm as I had someone come to check out the barn for their wedding planned for October 2027. Berlica and Mackenson were hard at work mowing the place.
After that lady left I brought Sheena over to tease. She was in season.
I had Bulu in the mare pasture and the 2 mares were curious about the foals.

Mike was called and he agreed to come in an hour. Sheena and her filly were put in the breeding shed paddock to wait.
We bred her back to Evan and we really like this year's filly. She has spunk but has really nice conformation and lots of hair. This filly is not for sale. The other 4 mares were teased again today and none of them were interested in the stallions. I had just gone back down to the lake when a booking came in for the apartment for tonight. I took off for the apartment to start cleaning it while calling Anna but found Braelyn already hard at work getting it cleaned. She got it done in plenty of time. I'm so thankful for grand daughters!
