Lots of Sun
Chilly it is but the sun has power.
I am doing well at the livestock chores. I know the three fur babies would like me to spend more time in the patio porch. Sorry! When I opened the east sliding door to put corn out for the deer . . . good ole Honey Bunny made a break for it. I went ahead and cleaned the litter box, put fresh food and water out and then returned to the door I had left cracked. She sat out about ten feet in one of the trenches of tracks made by the deer and . . . looked at me. I slid the door shut with a fairly loud thud. Bam, she was at the glass door when there was barely a width large enough for her head. Gotcha!
Last night I went to bed at nine and was surprised when I heard traffic was moving on the street outside and it was six in the morning. Dennis and I both got a great night’s rest.
The patient has moved from place to place in the house, wherever we can get a stool to keep the leg elevated. He is doing well and since surgery on Wednesday, he has asked for one pain pill. I do remind him, it is easier to stay ahead of it than to try and quench it after it is raging. He tells me he is doing ok and I take him at his word.
After having Dennis’ heavy quilt outside for most of yesterday, the smell of winter’s cold fresh air filled the house. It took me back to the farm in Boon Lake Township where we farmed. Many times, I would hang out laundry and let it freeze dry. No fabric softener was used and the softness of bath towels exceeded how they had been purchased. Flannel diapers didn’t take long to freeze dry and when they were brought indoors, they were ready to be pinned on in a very short time.
I am very thankful for a lifetime of memories. It is true, they can’t be taken from you and I always have room to store more. Sweet!
Happy weekend! The temps over Saturday and Sunday will be a great reprieve.
