Clouds Hills Shed Field

At high water we can see Muddy Creek from
the house like this. Otherwise we usually can't
see it. It is mainly a marshy boggy place
very good for birds and small wildlife.

Me at the Upper Green River with Squaretop in the back.

Thank you Nancy!

Another quiet day. Still cool, doesn't seem to be getting out of the 60s which is nice. Thankfully we've had hardly any wind to speak of, just soft breezes. Seems a continuation of the last several days, possibly some afternoon thunderstorms. Lots of bird songs coming in through the open windows.

Joe mowed the yard in back. It's good exercise for him, since he can't do much other walking. He seems to be an obsessive mower.

Got some phone calls made this morning. Have had a list of several to sit down and do. We will try to make Joe's VA Clinic annual checkup sometime in probably August, so we're not going down to Rock Springs in winter weather. It's always been November in the past and often cold and blustery if not actually stormy.

Also had procrastinated about my protime results of last week. "They - from oncology" never called me with changes to the dose, so I kept doing what I was on, however when I called today to check in and see if I should get another test tomorrow, Paige said I was to have gone to 2.5 every day. Someone goofed up - I never got that. So am to take nothing tonight and get it checked again tomorrow.

Joe has decided he also wants another bigger culvert on the east driveway at Arrowhead as long as Scott is doing the landscaping. That would be next to the street on the other outlet to the circular drive. So I called him today to let him know.

Am getting the studio cleaned today. It needs it, especially with the dogs in here so much. Dinner will be chicken fried chicken, with leftover scalloped potatoes. Yesterday I tried the potatoes in the crock pot and they aren't the greatest that way. I just want some good crock pot recipes, so it will seem easier or quicker to get a meal on the table. I'm not finding that many I like though. Also made an angel food cake.

Tomorrow will be the small group painting day and am undecided about whether to go on into town and do all the errands and shopping in the same day, or take another day. It's the driving! Would just like to get it over with all at once but that makes a very long day. And am supposed to go to the clinic for my protime.

Will be taking the computer to town to be worked on tomorrow, so no blogging or email for a while. Unless I decide to bring the laptop back home. After its fixed Rick (nope, didn't get Mike this time) has said that he would give me a few lessons in some of the programs I've been agonizing over.

Check Gina's blog today (up on the right, horseback 41, to see the best ever photos of Nube and Bob. She looks like a happy horse.
