Hello

For Sale - I crocheted it myself. I would like 35.00 for it. It really lays flat but has been rolled up.

Sage wondering what she is doing out there. I put her out with Pepper, Wrangler and the 2 donks. She didn't like it too much and did not go out into the pasture for quite a while. She wanted to go back to her pen.

She wanted me to stay with her. I did for a while. She was not as brave as I thought she would be.

Yuma said what are you doing out here? Do you have any treats for me?

Ezra wanted treats too.

Usually we get one egg from there. I was surprised there were 4.

My tomato jungle. Getting ripe.

Raspberries that I picked later in the day. Some are too high for me. Bob will have to pick them in the morning and then I will make another batch of jam.

I am glad to be feeling better. Still am coughing some but every day is better.

Monday I went out to my friend Vikki's in Deer Park and she got me started on a quilt. She makes all of her by hand. No sewing machine on any of hers. I have 4 squares done. I need to go out tomorrow and get some help with a couple of things. The hardest part is threading that tiny needle and I can't figure out the needle threader that will work on the tiny needle. Probably easy but not working for me.

We are preparing to go on a packing trip next week. Bob is doing most of the getting stuff together because he has done it before. We are not leaving until Thursday. This is going to be an adventure.

Its good to be blogging again. Hate feeling crummy. This virus seems to be going around though.

Home

Poor Yuma. His nose took a hit from being nosey.

I got home Thursday afternoon. I came home sick. Finally today I feel like I might be starting to get over it. If the cough was gone I would be "more better". Anyway, maybe I can get back to my blog.

The trip was sad of course but I have never been to a funeral for a more honored person. The Fire Department and the military made it really a memorable event. The fly over did not happen because of the very stormy weather but everything else was just so perfect. To us, he was just Brownie always funny and loveable but to his world he was a person of honor and respect.

So me and an upper respiratory infection are home and I have not even been out to see Sage. Just to the doctor yesterday and then to bed and mostly that is where I have been.

Loving you all, Blessings to each of you.

In TN.

Letting all my friends know that we made it to Nashville via Atlanta.  Good flight with a little rough in a couple of spots.

My sister is doing OK, funeral tomorrow.  We are just praying to get through this weekend.  It is warm here but not as bad as I thought it would be.  The humidity is what kills me.  Thank goodness for AC. 

Hope all is well with each of you. 

Blessings

A Sad Day

My sad faced donkey's. They are missing their friend Chemmy. Bob loaned (I think gave) him to some folks.

I am sad because my darling brother in love went to be with Jesus today. I will be gone for a while. Leave in the AM. Thanks for your prayers.

The Trip I Picked Out Sage

These pictures were all taken the first trip Nikki and I took together to Burns to the "Colorfest" and I picked out Sage.

This mare was good to look at but her front legs were goofy and she was a little aggressive when people went around their pen. I wanted a mare but she wasn't it.
A pretty young guy.

Out in the South Steens. I think these were the first one Nikki had seen.

This pretty mare. Not taken with a long lens. We were that close.

And my Sage. She doesn't look so big there but she is.

Today I had a good ride on her in the arena. We are having a little problem with stopping. I have to pop her on the shoulder with the rein ends. She will turn left great but right - is tougher. The wind was blowing a little and I did not want to press my luck any more. I did get a good half an hour in though.

Poor Wrangler has hives. We put him in a stall so we could give him Benadryl and wash him down with vinegar to take away some of the itch. He was fine yesterday but when I went to get this about 4 he was covered with welts. His face all over his big buckskin body. I know he is miserable. I do wish I knew what he was allergic to.

My brother in law is barely hanging on today. I do wish there was something I could do but all I can do is pray. My sister in law - Bob's brother's wife is bad too. Bob talked to Lynn this afternoon. She is breathing on her own though so that is good. Lord be with them, and us.

Blessings

Arena Ride

My equitation needs improvement but it was out of the round pen for us today. It was really an awesome ride. Nothing spectacular, just around and back and forth. Turn, stop, back ect.

She was a really good girl.

She did so well. I am so proud of her. She did not spook at anything. She stopped a couple of times to look at things like the sprinkler just outside the arena, and a runner going down the road with her dog but not spooky, just looking. I don't care if she looks.

I won't be nervous to take her on a trail. That will come in due time.

Otherwise, Bob is off cutting hay again, I did the chores and stuff like that. It was a beautiful day. Hot but not sweltering.

Blessings

Hay, flowers and me

I was on my way to a Memorial Service this afternoon. Bob wanted to take my picture. It was a lovely day. A nice service for my friend Julie. Can't remember what these are but their color is so beautiful. Love that intense yellow.

Bob backed in almost 5 tons of hay. He had taken off the top layer. He won't ask for help because we can't afford to pay them.

So that was about our day. Bob went and mowed more hay. I spent the afternoon dressed up. Sage had the day off.

Blessings.
