We saw these three riders yesterday. Lots of.
Ruth stopped by yesterday in the midst of all the repairs going on. It was wonderful to see her and get to visit. She brought me a photo CD she made of things at the convention, including the oil painting workshop by M.C. Poulson. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but know I'll enjoy it. And then will pass it on to the others who didn't get to go to the convention. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Ruth. Raven always remembers Ruth who is her "mom" even though we got her when she was about 6 weeks old. Ruth's dog Ivy is Raven's mother.
I've been walking the dogs a little more often. It's good for all of us.
Same old routine for this morning, Joe and dogs to coffee, and me getting up late and reading email and other blogs. I feel a little worn out from the last two days and also kind of grouchy or irritable. But I am so happy to have everything that has been wrong with the house all fixed up. Just looking at the windows where the two screens were torn, and to have them repaired. is really a good feeling. The kitchen sink that they replaced is much nicer. The big chips broken out of the cement in front of the garage look great now. No ugly holes in my bedroom or the untility room. So taking some deep breaths.
Started off to be a nice day but has clouded up with the wind howling like a banshee. It was in the 60s this morning. I heard snow is coming again, but not sure when it will be. That means more mud, just when the yard was drying up. We drove down into town and there was a regular dust storm, and all the flags whipping as if they would be ripped off their tethers. The sand that they sand the icy roads with was blowing everywhere. Each day you can see a stronger tinge of green, starting in the warmer spots first. The dogs don't want to go out in this wind.
Joe asked if I wanted to go to lunch so we went to the Wind River Pizzeria. We hadn't tried eating there yet. The pizza was not the most wonderful I've ever had but o.k. I doubt we go there much because Joe's not crazy about pizza. And there was a table full of oil field engineers having a very loud meeting. One bit of information was that they were drilling 1000 wells. That is just one company. A window was open and highway noise was too loud. So not the most pleasant atmosphere for lunch.
No news to speak of. I got the two books by Judith Orloff I ordered from Amazon.com a few weeks ago. Perhaps I can get a few tips about "Positive Energy", and getting to feeling a little better, maybe get some ambition back.
