Wind!

Ranch near Jackson

House Bondurant


Last day of January. Looks like a nice day out very sunny. Yesterday when I went to the clinic there was almost a hint of spring in the air. There is no wind right now. But that hard wind packed the drifts down and the dogs can walk on top of them. Raven tries going out around in the yard and stays on top most of the time, but every once in a while she craters. So there are some big divots out there. Sparky sticks mostly to the deck and their packed down paths.

It's noon now. I got a shower this morning and got my hair washed. Need to do that in the utility sink now instead of the shower because of the picc line getting wet. Not as convenient but o.k. Between the two of us we got the house vacuumed and I've got a load of towels and rugs in the washer. We're going to have to get a new vacuum. I'll look online to check them out. This very old one that was at the ranch when I first came there, just isn't picking up the dog hair. It does have good suction but not on the shag rug. My bedroom is the worst, where the boys sleep the most.

Joe's nephew Kevin called this morning and stopped by this afternoon. He stayed and visited with Joe about an hour. I spaced out that the clinic closed at noon on Saturday and didn't make it there before they closed. So have to flush the line myself. Everything's fine. I'm not feeling very ambitious at the moment, but I do know that's going to get better in another day or so. So pretty routine here.

I love my Oreck vacuume especially with the collie and pyr hair. It was worth every penny.
Glad to hear you are up and around.
I'm just getting everything gathered up for our trip. Sue's coming into Jackson Monday and we head to SLC on Tues. to fly out early the next morning. The flight from San Francisco to Seoul is 12 hours but I hear they treat you very well. Maybe because it's an oriental airline.
Will take lots of photos and will be back the end of Feb. Stay warm and well.

The winter photos are wonderful. Some of them would make great jigsaw puzzles. You know the kind. 1,000 pieces and half of the pieces are all one color!
