Friday

I have a stack of pictures but can not get them to open. So, I will do them tomorrow. They are the fair. That is where we spent out day today and I am EXhausted. Tiring. But fun. Some pretty funny chickens, and weird geese and Bob helped show goats. A totally new experience. Tomorrow I will tell the tale. Even the judge laughed. Looked at everything and watched a horse drill team contest. Too dusty to stay but it was a good day.

Thoughtful Thursday

Was thinking today:

I feel better, now just the remnets of a cold sort of. The sore throat is mostly gone.

I have been talking with my sister about classmates that we graduated from HS with. Her class just had their 50th. reunion. What different roads we have all traveled. Some of us a long way from where we lived then.

How good the squash is that Shannon brought us. It must have weighed 40 pounds or more. Bob split it into 8ths and I baked it and am putting it into bags and into the freezer. I ate some with supper tonight.

How warm it was today when it was supposed to rain.

How I need to get my saddle oiled. I watched a thing on RFD today and realized mine was in need.

How funny Ditto and Amelia are.

Why the state mental hospital in Medical Lake took a criminally insane man to the fair and let him get away. I am not a spooky sort but I locked the doors. He killed a woman because "God" told him to. Not my God.

I need to go to the used book store. My supply has about run out.

Wednesday

I am much better today. Wish I could figure out how to put the pictures in order. The drag and drop is above my understanding. I thought I knew but the space is small so it did not work so these are not in order at all.

This is Peppers rear and Abby peaking around. When I went out to put them in this morning I decided to take some pictures of the group.

Then there is YUMA. Mr. make me smile. Since we took him to the horse show in June, he has loved being handled, caught and loved on. I think he liked it out there and thinks he is still king of Christensen Rd.

And of course Wrangler. He is clueless, but the mares all want him close. They think he is so gorgeous. They are not wrong. He is such a nice boy.

Amelia was standing in the shade and watching them come in. She has Ditto in with her. I thought the 2 old mares would get along well together. They are kind of bitchy with each other. I think they will get over it though. They both are Diva's and expect special attention. Ditto has always gotten that and she does not like sharing. AND Amelia has come to that title since she has been here and does not like sharing either. Like 2 old sisters living in the same house.

This was supposed to be the first picture. Oh well, this was them coming in. In order from the front: Wrangler, Pepper, Rosie, Yuma, Raven, Abby and Liberty. Quite a nice looking group of horses huh?This is a picture of my nasturtium bed. Isn't it pretty. I planted a lot of seeds, especially the viney type. Its fading as most are doing in the fall but still just love it. It turned out just as I hoped it would.

Bob is out at the fairgrounds helping Shannon get a trailer load of goats settled. Tomorrow I hope to be pretty much back in the groove. I did make supper tonight. Spaghetti and Facacia bread. Thank you for you good thoughts through this.

Thankful Tuesday

I am not up to feeling thankful about much today EXCEPt:

I am thankful for antibiotics when you get a bug like this. 24 hrs. have not accomplished much but I expect to when I wake up tomorrow.

I am thankful for Bob who came home from work and fixed me dinner and is doing the dishes.

Morose Monday

I went to the doctor today and have strep throat. No wonder my throat hurts. So its back to laying down and dozing and taking the antibiotics on time. Bob went over to work with Blondie and Target. I wanted to go but am not up to it. DARN. I don't have time to be sick.

Maybe things will look up tomorrow.

An addition to Sunday

First of all, Raven is OK today, the diarreah is gone, her gums are normal and she is happy. We put her out and will look at her in the morning. It was scarey. Her temp was very normal this morning too.

And Anita, they feed the milk to the pigs. We get milk from Shannon who lives down the road. She feeds her milk to her mules. Crazy huh. We don't buy milk anymore. We will when kids come though unless we don't tell them. She gives us to us.

Saturday Smiles on Sunday

Farmer Williams returning a tractor he borrowed while ours was down.I had to smile as I followed him down the road. Hope you do too.

I feel awful with a cold and sorethroat. Will go to the doctor in the morning. I know they can not treat a cold but think its a lulu of a sinus thingy.
