so your happy it’s melting??
Me too
but expect more
The dog story was cute
i sure wouldn’t want to get in the way of those rottwylers
I just hate it when even my mac can’t fix my spelling (o:
they scare me, the dogs, not the mac
all though my spelling does scare me
Such a peaceful road with mountains at the end, could be better than following the yellow brick road! Not quite ready for the melt to begin yet, enjoying the crisp beauty of winter.
Those photos look like they are from your home on the farm to the main road?
Certainly doesn’t look like a main road in Colorado! Well, I hope not? How do you manage to get out in winter if that road is full up with snow? Are you able to work from home?
Wheel treads in the first photo would suggest that a bit of slipping around is done, would that be the case? Luckily you are on flat terrain.
I hope that your employers realise what you have to endure to leave your farm to be at work at “ungodly departure times”, in winter months, ensure that they cover you with good insurance and pay you appropriately?
Still that is probably all pipe dream stuff like here in Australia.
Retirement age here in Australia for males was 65. I just got in, now it is 67 and even 70 is being “mooted”. I suppose you have a similar saying in the USA – “Work till you drop”? Not sure of the female retirement age, maybe Diane or some other Australian who views your blog will enlighten us all. I know it was 60, but that is no more the case.
Of course when you have no dependents and have failed to make up your “last will and testament”, the Government steps in and says – “Thank you” – your superannuation or, whatever you call it in the USA, goes straight into their coffers!
I get a pension as a aged person – this was going along grandly until someone, a smart “alerk”, said wait a minute, this “bloke gets paid a monthly allowance” – that money is what I have paid over years and is/was considered income. Now according to them, I am again “working”! I said to them – “What am I supposed to do with it to get my full pension – Throw it away”! The creature in front of me couldn’t answer! So what is the answer?
Do you in the USA and from other bloggers have this problem in your countries?
I think it is high time for us, older generation to protest – yes World wide – we would at least protest with class and dignity, not like the present “unkept mobs”.
Lets organise something – “The Blue Brigade gathers” – who knows we just may win for future generations!
Ah well, there was a great movie – “Life is Beautiful” – won three academy awards – all bloggers should see it. Teriible theme but shows how humanity can exist. It is an Italian movie. ( 1998).
Life should be beautiful but I’m afraid Governments of all persuasions see differently.
Oh! I hated driving on slushy mushy mud and snow. I sure don’t miss that. I know you are careful. I loved reading the story about the cows and the little dogs learning experience. Glad the dog wasn’t hurt badly. I remember being chased up a tree by a herd of cows when I was at a picnic. A cow running at a person is a scary thing.
Thats what our roads looked like there for awhile. Now they are mostly clear as we are having rain storms aka ice on top of ice in some places. We are ok where we are at. Suppose to get snow Sun and Mon.
Those muddy roads are definitely one of the disadvantages to living in the country. Sometimes it seems my car is muddy for weeks on end… and the way the back window is angled (hatchback) it doesn’t matter whether it’s mud or dust, it’s always, always dirty!
But I still wouldn’t trade where we live to live in the city. No Way!
