We had a nice day. Another slow morning for me. Joe picked up bales from yesterday and didn't mow today. The ground must need to dry out a little more in the next patch. The other ranchers have not started haying here next to us yet. I had a good visit on the phone with both Charm and Kay who had been to a great workshop over in Cody. They painted on the North Fork of the Shoshone. Spectacular scenery there. One of our men artist friends had come back from Alaska with a brain tumor and may have had surgery already for it. Get well soon Greg and we are all thinking of you.
This morning Raven knocked on the door and when I went to let her in she was soaking wet with black putrid mud. Sparky hadn't been in it. They had been out in the field with Joe and guess she decided to go swimming in the bog. So first thing I gave them both a bath, outside and with the hose. Got them and the horses brushed and groomed, and sprayed the horses for flies. I tried the fly spray on Raven too, since she is "so delicate and feminine" and the flies really bite her. Then they all got a treat for being good, alfalfa cubes for Nube and Bobbi and Al's Grilled Burgers for the pups.
The small painting group is getting together at Nancy's tomorrow. I may or may not go. I called the man who installed my satellite internet system, and told him the hughes.net support person said my Ethernet cable needed to be replaced. He talked to me for a while about the problem I am having with the connection, and said he had another cable for me. Hopefully it will solve the problem. Now just to get into town to get it. Maybe tomorrow, or more likely Thursday, which is our SCAG writer's group meeting.
I changed the sheets today and took the flannel sheets and one blanket off the bed. I took all the pads off and put the new egg crate foam on. It came UPS last week from Bed Bath and Beyond. Changing the king sized sheets is a real workout any more.
Beverly called this evening and said she and Clay would be up to visit from August 12 for a week. That will be wonderful to see them again. We may be able to take a little sightseeing trip.
By afternoon it had clouded up again and we had some thunder and a few soft rain showers. It cooled off so nice. Today I got the WAOW membership level structure document tweaked again, and went through it for consistence and added another small rule from the last month's board meeting vote, plus other used info from comments some of them made to refine it. As soon as I get a connection I'll send it off to the board.
I saw three of the cats after dinner, and one I thought was Tigger looked like she had lost about half her tail. I will sure be watching for her again to figure that one out. Either its another strange cat, or Tigger's had some kind of wild adventure. Sure hope she doesn't get an infection.
