Two Photo Gifts from Two Different Friends—Tuesday, September 16, 2014

One year, I think two years ago, Cully Ray sent me a delightful Christmas Present; a photo of her dearly departed Australian Shepherd, Robert.

Here is what she wrote: ” I have to tell you Fuzz really looks like my line of Aussies – and I am partial to the plain tri-colors (Red or Black). Everytime you post a picture of him, I just want to kiss his face! LOL

I am attaching a picture of my boy, Robert (I lost him two years ago – I know he’s waiting at the Rainbow bridge for me)…

Have a wonderful Holiday!!

love and hugz and Blessings!

Cully”

She is so right. Every time I look at her Robert I do see Fuzzy. It’s really nice to know what type of dog he might be—My vet says Border Collie and Chow-Chow, another vet told me he was part Sheltie and Border Collie.

Fuzzy really is a very good dog!

Sometime ago OneFly sent me this photo: “This is not a great picture by any means, but it shows a coyote that was almost on top of this hurt elk.

The photo was taken just south of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

The magpies are just waiting for their chance after the coyote.

My bud, Kevin, who works right there said the elk survived at least enough to move on.”

I’m glad the elk was able to move on. I hope it made it. I am NOT a fan of coyotes…sorry! If you are that’s fine, as for me–-I’m not.

I thank Cully Ray and Onefly for sharing with me photos of their lives, and allowing me to share them with you. This wonderful world of the internet has given all of us an tremendous gift of friends both near and far! I appreciate each and everyone of you!

Remember if you have have a photo that you would like for me to share with my readers I would be delighted to do so. It might not be immediately as I have several waiting to be posted. I posting every Tuesday in the order that they arrive to me.

I WILL post them and I WILL link back to you with credit for your photo. 🙂

Your friend,

Linda

The the ‘next impossible happen’! Terry and I took off a Friday, Friday night and half of Saturday while Misty and Bladen irrigated for us.

Blade is 11 now and getting pretty good at sitting siphon tubes. Misty is as good as Terry….hold one end of the tube shut with one hand, pump the water into the tube (while walking) and then sit the tube down quickly so the water flows out. Blade is determined to do it ‘like Mom and Grandpa’. His hand isn’t quiet large enough to close off the end of the tube but he works at it. He stands up and then pumps the water into the tube and then put the tube down quickly…sometimes he has enough pressure and sometimes not. BUT HE IS DETERMINED to do it like the experts….not Grammy :)!

I have to stop walking, bend down and cover the end with my hand, pump the water into the tube and then put in the row. Sometimes I can’t get a good enough seal so I submerge the tube in the water, cover the end with my hand and then put the tube in the row. I’m slower (which is why Blade doesn’t want to do it my way) but it works.

But back to Friday…after all the chores were done and the wind started picking up Terry said lets head up to Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado for the night. Way back in January Kelly and Misty gave us a over-night stay at the Hot Sulpur Springs Resort and Spa. We called them, they had room on Friday only…the Memorial Day holiday had them full from Saturday through the rest of the week.

Misty said go…so we did.

We took the long way around (6 hours) through Craig, Steamboat Springs, down to Hot Sulpher Springs. Then coming back we went through pass to State Bridge and into Edwards on 170 (4 hours)

We were exhausted and water logged…they have 24 hot soaking pools…met some really nice people…and enjoyed ourselves very much.

Linkin did a great job of taking care of the animals and the chickens here (she will be 9 in two weeks). I do believe it was a good experience for everyone involved.

I will get around to visiting all of you , who have stopped by today and tomorrow.

I hope you a really nice Memorial Day!

We are still cold here, but getting warmer every day. Although, it IS still coat wearing weather, at least it isn’t layered coat wearing weather :).

Terry started working on the ditches yesterday, but the wind was just too bad. In fact it blew one of the yard lights off it’s pole, so he had to stop.

The wind blew the storm over Grand Mesa, which is how our storms go…in through eastern Utah, then over Grand Mesa to the Craig, Steamboat Spring area and on to where ever they go from there. Sometimes they lose their steam along the way, but always they leave us by going toward Cedaredge and Grand Mesa.

We will start work on getting the spot ready for the old grainery...this might take some time, but it has to be moved before the first cutting of hay. Where it sits now is where the haystacks are going to sit.

I must be off…the sun has warmed the frost off of things and I need to be doing!

Have a nice day everyone!
