Dude Horses going from winter to summer pasture were being driven down Pine Street in Pinedale a while back. We don't see this as often as we used to, but I love to see both horses and cattle being driven through town or along the highway. This was a photo I liked a lot in the paper so scanned it, and thought you might like to see it too.
Today was a good day. I figured I better do something about the inbox for my email which had 65 things that needed to be answered, and even more came in throughout the day, so I spent most of the morning working on that and at present there are 14 of them left. First I voted on the WAOW board meeting agenda and that got me in the mood. It had all sure backed up like a log jam. I also got a lot of photos sent off to a Thomas relative in Georgia. She was interested in seeing some of the available paintings.
This morning I called the doctor in Idaho Falls with Joe's first week's recordings of his blood pressure twice a day. I made him some tables on the computer for that. Spoke with one of the nurses there. The doctor is supposed to call back and maybe adjust the medication he's taking. He never called back today. I suppose with going to town we are going to miss that call tomorrow.
After lunch it was time to get the flowers transferred into their pots. I thought I would get it all done, but am only about half way finished with it. I have to tell you the bad news of the day is that I saw the first mosquitoes. And also the first swallows of the year right here. I've seen them other places. I hope they stay because they eat a lot of mosquitoes through the season. Joe doesn't like them building their nests on the buildings, but I want them here. And they have a tough enough time without someone knocking their nests off. When we first moved to this house there was an awning on the living room window and swallows would build a nest there. You could look right in and watch the eggs hatch and the babies grow.
I'm reading an interesting small book, called "Only Count the Sunny Hours", Madame Isabelle's Diary. She ran a house of ill repute in Kemmerer WY and its pretty good.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. We have to go to Pinedale to the doctor appointment and Joe's haircut. When he goes in for that I'm going to ask them about getting my ears repierced so I can use my earrings. I'll shop for groceries. And we will take several things to the Museum of the Mountain Man, including the old cream separator and the wringer washer that's been here since the 40's. There's a suitcase of small old things that is interesting too. We have to take the truck as the big things won't fit in the SUV. But I've decided to take the boxes of books I have for them next time I go to town. I don't want them going in the back of the truck. Joe lifted the separator and washer into the back of the pickup with the bucket on the tractor.
