Time To Check In With The Doctor.......

If you are reading this and it is Wednesday, then I did the write now and post later gadget right. Riley went to his old setter for today because G'ma has a Doctor's appointment. When I suggested to him on Monday that we take a little break from digging the fire pit, he told me that 'His Daddy doesn't take breaks'. That just means I did a good job when I raised his Daddy.


Linds at 'Rocking Chair Reflections' has so kindly blessed me with this award. This means so very much to me Linds and I thank you with all of my heart. Please drop by and visit Linds, her postings are a wonderful read and more times then not I leave her blog with post-it notes stuck all over my brain reminding me to give more thought to one thing or another or I really need to do a post on something else. Linds, if exercising the brain is a way of putting off Alsheimers, then your blog is sure to be a cure for the dreaded disease.

Now if I understand the procedure correctly, I am to pass this award on to three other people. This is one difficult task to do. I think all of the blogs on my side bar are 'Just plain fun to read' or I wouldn't have them listed. Here goes though:

Connie at 'Over Good Ground' ~Connie shares her life in California with her husband (The Prospector) and their critters.

Theresa at 'My Fairbanks Life' ~Theresa is another one of those 'thought provokers' much like Linds. She is a knitter of socks as well.

Prixie at 'Five' ~Prixie just recently moved to London from South Africa. I had been reading on her original blog 'Choco Mumbo Jumbo' and enjoyed her postings, but 'Five' is a wonderful take on the observations she makes of the people and world around her as she travels through her daily life in London.

Great stuff all of them. Congratulations girls..... You all have captured my loyalty and friendship.

This is just a sampling of one of the many things J.D. has been doing for the past few weeks. He found a saw mill not far from the house that cuts cross ties and gives him the scrap slabs that they cut from the lumber for nothing.





He can get the ends of the cross ties that they cut away from the cross ties for a ridiculously cheap price. I am thinking they charged him $15 for a trailer load.

By the time we start firing up the wood stoves again, this wood should be nice and seasoned. I'm pretty sure we will stay warm this winter thanks to J.D.'s hard work.

We were on our way home through Amish country the other day and I snapped this picture as an example of Amish farm equipment being refueled. This photo just doesn't do justice to these beautiful horses. They are Clydesdales and the muscular make up of these beautiful creatures is astounding.

I hope your Wednesday was filled with love and happiness.
