Hey Sweetie,
Had another day of mostly just puttering around again. I finished mowing the little patch of weedy gravel that is my “front yard” now that James brought me some gas. I put my name on the gas can, though, because it’s quite full and I can’t see me using it all up before I leave, so I guess I could just leave it here and retrieve in the fall when I come back, assuming I don’t stay the summer. Green headed horseflies are starting to get bad, though with the cooler weather we’ve had the last couple of days, not so much. I’m sure once the heat returns, though, they’ll be out here in droves. Love bugs are out in full force though! Glad they’re relatively harmless, except to the windshield of oncoming vehicles! I put the horses in a different paddock today, then when a couple of horse campers came in, I moved them further back to another paddock, let them do some mowing and cut down on my hay use. I call W&W and he told me they were supposed to be getting hay sometime tomorrow, sounded like the haymaker was baling tomorrow and would bring 100 bales by. I asked him to save me ten, since I doubt I’ll have time to pick it up tomorrow. I have a busy day planned, so I’m getting to bed super early so I’m fully rested. I was dozing off this afternoon while I was reading in my chair, must be all this physical labor, between all the digging yesterday and that little bit of mowing today. Got a call from Chester, the mower, and he tried to call me yesterday, for some reason I missed the calls, and, of course, I didn’t recognize the number since I lost my contacts. I have it now, though! He thinks he might have an angle for getting me a UTV, fingers crossed, but we’ll wait and see. It will probably only be for the one day of mowing, but you never know! Stranger things have happened! Spent some time getting ready for tomorrow, loading up the small horse trailer. I’m going up to a place in Stuart called the Savannas, which I never knew was even there, and apparently it’s quite a lovely horse trail. One of the ladies from last weekend invited me, she claims we can do a 4.5 hour ride there, plus lunch! I need a change of venue, plus I’ll be able to do my big shopping, and finally, I’ve arranged to meet brother Glenn and his wife in the afternoon for drinks afterward, since they’re leaving for Texas the next day, so it will be a busy day! It’s already in the 100’s in Texas, can’t believe they’re heading into that! Makes the mid-80’s here seem positively balmy! Anyway, I’m doing everything a couple of hours early tonight, I’m determined to get to be in plenty of time to get my essential eight hours tonight! So soon to be heading to the shower, and then to bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
