Morgan Horses on a Hill - Why They Call It Boulder
If this blog looks funny today, something has gone wrong with it. It will probably be o.k. later and I'll fix anything that doesn't look the way it should then. Had to try to get the pictures in about a half dozen times.
Joe has raked and baled today. Now he's picking up the bales with the bale wagon. The bales are pretty far apart for being on a good part of the field. Its a job for him anymore. I'm thankful he is still able to do it and he loves to hay. The gas truck came today and delivered regular and diesel. It was hot again today, and not a cloud in the sky, calm.
One of our friends Tharon fell and broke her hip and had to have surgery. She is in the hospital in Jackson. Then I called Betty Pfaff to visit and she told me that Lois had been taken by ambulance to the clinic, but she's back home and feeling o.k. I will need to call to see what that is about and how she's feeling. Ned called last night and he and I visited for a while before he talked to Joe. Millie isn't doing very well at all it sounds like. Lots of pain from her back. She had surgery and we thought she might get better, but it doesn't seem like that worked for her.
Today I felt a little ambitious and started way too many things, so today is pretty much lost to catching up and doing things here in the house that need to be done. Took the king size bed pads and everything all the way down to the mattress off and washed them and they are out on the line. Dishes, laundry and vacuuming are done. Got a roast in the crock pot for dinner and that's really smelling good. And whether he likes them or not, I'm going to have some of those already prepared mashed potatoes with it and maybe some muffins, a vegetable and salad. Worked on the emails this morning. I've always got 10,000 things going. I have to quit that one of these days. My desk is covered with post it notes of things I need to get done, actually to remind me of it all.
The mosquitoes sure weren't very bad here this year, and looks like they are about over. Even the horse flies aren't bad. Raven hates being outside in the bugs though. She has lots shorter hair and more bare skin than Sparky. She really bangs on the door to get in when the flies are out.
Two fish and game guys drove in in their truck this morning and walked across our field to the creek. First they talked to Joe out on his tractor. So I asked Joe what they were doing. He said they wanted to go check out the fish in the creek and so he said, "Hell, go ahead". All I could do is laugh. There are no fish in our part of the creek, there is hardly a channel it's such a bog or marsh - a muddy pond here and there. But who knows, maybe they had a legitimate assignment or something. There are fish further downstream. I'm seriously concerned that the creek will be no more in the not too distant future.
My Violet is Blooming - It was recently repotted.
