What Little Old Ladies Do

(Of course this is after we've been on some all day outing or adventure to get the photos in the first place. )

This morning Nancy cooked breakfast again. Joe is going to miss her for sure. After sitting with coffee we went out to dig up plants from the phased out flower beds for Nancy and Betty to take home to their gardens. Of course the wind was blasting out of the north and even some icy snowflakes came down for a while. We have water in the irrigation ditch for the second time. It backed off for a week or so. Now Joe is out adjusting his headgates and checking the water with the dogs.

Last night we got to talking about how to look up on the internet where some of the people we used to know are now. Some of those people were long lost boyfriends, so there was great hilarity about us sitting on the computer and looking up our old boyfriends on address.com. )

This afternoon we will take a little drive around the countryside somewhere. It's hard to think of some place interesting that isn't off on some dirt two track, which I'm avoiding at this season. Its a little early to be going 4 wheeling in the mud. None of us want to get a truck unstuck. If we have something more to report, I'll write again later.

LATER: We did drive around the area and stopped for photos. We made an executive decision to go to the Boulder Store for ice cream cones so headed there. Donna has been remodeling the store and turned out she wasn't open for ice cream yet, just beer. So we visited a little and started back home, with a couple more side trips to check out the countryside. We got home just in the nick of time so Joe's dinner wasn't late. Dinner plan is spaghetti sauce from the freezer over pasta, with salad and french bread. Then we downloaded our new photos and watched them on slide show. Hard to believe what we find to laugh about, but we've had an enjoyable time.
