Summer Vacation Coming to a Close

We have been busy with appointments and day trips. In the meantime, it has been raining constantly, so there has not been much activity outside. We have to catch sunny weather when we can to mow the lawn or do the weeding. The flower garden hasn't cared and there are new blooms, so it looks nice, but some of them are end-of-season blooms. That means that work is in sight. Molly and I had a surprise the other day. A dog that we have never seen before came for a visit. Molly chased it off and it just about wore her out. She hasn't done that much running for quite a while. Her hips have been worse lately and I gave her a Tylenol that night. Now she thinks she needs to do guard duty on the deck to keep bad pooches away.

A few minutes of this and she is ready to come in. She's a lovely girl.

My husband left for Virginia today. He is going with a friend to pick up a truckload of computers for the local schools. The computers are donated and our students rebuild them in vocational class. Then the schools either use them or sell them.

The deer are constant visitors. We have left the fence up on the garden and a neighbor told us he saw a deer standing by the fence looking in at the garden. Must have been during a moment of wishful thinking. I usually see them in the field and noticed there are two Bambis with Mom. I haven't been able to get two babies in one photo yet. they won't stop runing and playing and hold still for a picture. Baby one is a little tan speck to the left.

Horses are There Too!

Since the last post I have made another visit to the farm. It was a day when my daughter would be working, and lots of family was going to be around. First, I took my Mom so she could see where my daughter works. She liked the ponies and I think everyone else did also. Six other family members visited at the farm shortly after us, and were given a tour by my daughter. The ponies were a favorite, but there are lots of other horses.
They all get lots of care and attention. 20 horses take a lot of work. All of the horses are beautiful. However, the ponies, being front and center, are noticed and appreciated by everyone, and probably get more than their share of luv.
