Wow.....for the third week in a row, we have bad weather on the weekend. That means no church, which is a bummer. I miss the fellowship with our friends at church when we don't get to have church. Plus, we have a kids Christmas program and a choir program that really aren't ready for viewing and have missed numerous practices due to the bad roads. It will all come together. We might just end up with winter programs, rather than Christmas programs.
Our phone rang VERY early this morning. At about 4:40am to be precise. Mikes sister Becky works at the County Medical Care facility and couldn't get out her driveway and in to work. She is in the dietary department and they start cooking at 5:30. Mike headed out and picked her up along with one other worker. He made it there and back in one piece. Thank you Lord.
Chores are a lot of work in this weather. Pushing your way through drifts up to your knees or higher isn't much fun. We shut the foals, one broodmare and the two heifers up in the barn last night. Keeps everything warmer and the snow out of the stalls. The other two mares were out with their three-sided shelter. Lots of hay to keep their bellies full and their bodies warm.
We did manage to get the Christmas tree yesterday, and it is in the house half decorated. Hoping to finish it up this morning. Feels good to have the decorating done now.
Had a crazy report on Copper, the coming three-year old gelding that is in training now. Seems he was turned out in the indoor arena last evening for a little exercise. To the shock of Trainer Mike, Copper trotted up to the exit gate and jumped over it without hurting himself or the gates. Maybe Copper has a future as a Jumper. Time will tell.
