Close up of a few of the ponds in photo below.
Old? ranch next to Pine Creek.
This is just over the hill from the house.
Notice deciduous trees have no green to them yet.
There's quite a large hayfield extending on to the left.
Anyone know who lives here?
Parked in the Back Yard.Seemed like a long day with lots happening again, even though we got a slow start this morning. I got a lot of email looked at, answered and filed. Joe went out after breakfast and reset one of the chain link fence posts back into the ground before I knew what he was doing. Curtis had dug it out because apparently the gas line went right under that post and the gas company men wanted to know that he hadn't run into the gas line. So Curtis took the post and it's cement out. Joe was supposed to leave it out until the gas men saw that the line was well below Curtis' post. But he just can't leave anything alone and put it back in. He didn't remember me telling him to leave it there until the gas men checked the hole. After he ate an early lunch Joe took the dogs and went out to the ranch to turn on the water, the water pump, and get the furnace going. We didn't know what was taking him so long, and about 5:30 started out the highway to see if anything had happened, but a few miles out of town here he came, so we got turned around and followed him back home. He said neither the pump or the furnace wanted to start, but he finally got them going. He said he saw the two cats today, so am glad to know they both made it through the winter, thanks to Joe.
Beverly took the dogs for a long walk this morning. Soon after Joe left, Joe the plumber came over to check the back yard to see if the gas people had marked the gas line. And yes they had sprayed the location on the ground with bright yellow paint. I talked to him and told him what I knew about that, and he brought his big backhoe up and parked it in the back to dig up the water line, bury it deeper and get prepared to put that circulating pump on the hot water line under the crawl space. That might be happening tomorrow.
Beverly and I used today to finally scan my cousin Maryann's family photographs (on my dad's side) after I've had them for five? years. So will soon be able to return the photos to her. It took us several hours in the afternoon and another couple hours after dinner but we got it all finished, scanned and filed in the computer. I am so grateful to have that job done. Now I have lots to do to edit them all and figure that will keep me busy on quite a few of my sleepless nights.
In the afternoon we did take a little drive scouting out some of the roads in the developments around the house, and that was quite interesting. There's more we haven't seen, so we might go again. Then we went to the store mostly for fresh vegetables, and to Obo's for meat. Beverly made us fajitas and refried beans for dinner. They turned out good. I made a German chocolate cake last night so we've been munching on that.
Our to do list is getting smaller. I haven't even played spider for DAYS.
