Our Horse Drawn Feed SledsAfternoon Update: Today got the whole house cleaned and sheets washed and changed! So I'm a lot better! Yeaaa!
Duene's blog about calling the cops made me remember that I forgot to put in a funny (?) story on Joe. After I came home from store the other evening, the doorbell rang and there stood two sheriff deputies. I was rather astounded to see them. They asked if we'd made a 911 call. I said no I'd just gotten home from the store, and asked Joe if he'd done it. Well he was all indignant, but turns out he accidentally pushed the 911 button on this phone we have. I guess we convinced them we were fine - no family violence or anything, or no druggies trying to break in, no awful accident. Their office had already called and Joe had told them that it was a miss on the buttons. So he was all huffy about having to explain it again.
BTW - He did fine going to the ranch and ate lunch at Boulder.
Morning Edition: The sun is shining off and on, and still lots of clouds to the south - northwest has more blue sky. Of course the wind is blowing. Temperature just below freezing, so not as cold as it could be. I remember when we first moved permanently to the ranch in winter that the sun shone a lot. Weeks on end of bright blue skies and no wind. The storms came and went, but we had lots more high pressure for extended periods. Even if it was below zero, you could go out in a long sleeve shirt and a down vest and be warm if you were working or skiing. I was out every day in those times and seldom cold. It was pleasant even if crisp. Joe had me out at day break feeding the 20 or so horses we had then with our team and sled. Adventurous doings every morning, with the horses always being cantankerous and wanting to fight and run away. I think the weather has changed to being this everlasting cloudy, dreary and windy scenario, making it very unpleasant to be enjoying the outdoors. Can't even go walk the dogs.
Well, Joe's gone to the ranch again to feed the cats. I suppose he will be careful not to get stuck. I'm just getting going at 8:30. Breakfast will be simple -tea, yogurt and maybe toast or shredded wheat in a bit. It's yet to be seen what I'll accomplish today. But..... I am feeling a lot better so hopefully the bad week is over with and it will just get better each day. Paying bills and going through stacked up paperwork is the first thing on the list to be done. If anything interesting happens, I'll be back to report.
