It is not lost on me that when I talk to you in the morning, then add to my blog post later in the day, you might not get the updates. It’s not that I have a huge ego, but I so appreciate my readership and don’t want folks to miss anything of utmost profundity. … Continue reading
Some of my work was cancelled for today, and though I adore the dogs, I’m not sad. I had booked almost more than I could handle, or at least more than I cheerfully looked forward to. I’ve said it many times, and I’m unabashed: what I can comfortably “handle” is a fraction of the work … Continue reading
The first 800 heads of one variety of garlic are hung up. The hard neck type is next to harvest. We planted less than we have for many years, but the whole operation is still a lot of work. Gary does almost all of it, and I help when I can. I do most of … Continue reading
I’m all mixed up. I had to think for a few moments to decide what day of the week it is, then looked at my own appointment book to confirm the date. The day broke bright and cool, and I woke early. Picked some raspberries and peas for the day’s gluttony sustenance, thinking I would … Continue reading
It’s an easy start to the day, though I have grooming planned. Little old Baxter arrived. He had a vet checkup a week ago, where it was determined that he is “getting old”. We will all do our parts in making his senior years comfortable. I’ll get back to you with other dogs, later. This … Continue reading
Didn’t feel like a Sunday, not a day of rest. Everything is fine, all is well … it was just busy. And very hot, but not like SoCal and Arizona and some far away countries. There was a downpour this afternoon that was surprisingly cold; we hope that everyone who needs hay has been able … Continue reading
We are loafing and watching TV tonight. The movie ‘JoJo Rabbit’ is on, and it’s so good, an odd parody about the Third Reich … who knew one could inject any humour into that history? Paul and Lori left this morning. We had only a short visit, but it was full of laughter, reminiscing and … Continue reading
I got the spare bedroom cleared out enough for guests, bed changed (it hadn’t been slept in since the bedding was last laundered, but it made me feel better to redo it). Between Gary and I, we got the room vacuumed, dusted, mopped, and the gross window track cleaned. There is still a tremendous lot … Continue reading
Oh, why didn’t I take a photo of little Joey? I groomed one of my favourite poodle mixes today, and was so enthused to meet up with his owner for brunch that I forgot to get a pic. I will add an older one from the main computer later. Kim from Crescent Spur and I … Continue reading
Hey, we have some. It’s only for two horses, 120 bales, but we feel so good about getting dry hay in the barn at last. You could say that we each hefted no less than 600 pounds twice today, loading and unloading, based on the smallest bales being 50 pounds or more. Gary does the … Continue reading
