Firetrucks and Firefighters

Last night at Bible School, the kids were treated to two REAL firefighters. Joel and Dan did a great job explaining all the equipment, safety features and the how-to's of firefighting. The kids were intrigued with all they had to say. They demonstrated how they would search and rescue people from a burning building. Then took the time to tie it into our Christian life. It was really a great night, as a young girl asked Jesus to be her Saviour after the service!

The weather was wonderful yesterday. Suzanna led her heifers and they both got baths as well. The vet was out and checked Breezy. We think she is in foal, but need about a week longer to be certain. She has a cyst in there and the vet is almost positive that the pregnancy is growing beside it. She didn't look like a mare coming back into heat, so that is a good thing. Rhoda was also checked, it is a little early, but she doesn't look like she is starting to come into heat either. We will have the vet back out when we get back from Dairy Days to recheck both of them, but it does look promising.

Suzanna was up with the birds this morning. The other two are feeling the affects of the late nights. Grandpa is raking hay. I am grateful for a good first cutting, because second is going to be pretty sparse. The field he is in right now, got a little rain back at the beginning of June, right after it was cut and hasn't really had a drink since. My mom has a doctors appointment, so I am off to that with her. Will get back in time to bale some hay by the looks of it. There are always heifers to work, garden to weed, a camper to get ready to go to MSU and VBS again tonight.

Michigan All Morgan starts this morning. I am impatiently waiting for updates from the trainer about how the string of 7 horses are doing in their classes. I head up there tomorrow to see Snoopy go in his 3-year old Western Pleasure class.
