Tuesday Talk

I really think I need to get out and build an ark! We have had heavy rain again all day today. Glad I got my mowing done yesterday as the grass has been growing like mad from all the rain and with today's rain it would have been a hay field out there.

We had a wonderful time on the weekend with our southern relatives. The weather which had been rainy all week co-operated and was nice for the party on Friday night. SIL had everything set up outside under an awning and it looked so nice with balloons everywhere and of course lots of great food.

There was a perfect sunset and I took some pictures to show you all.

FIL's lake house is mostly glass on the front so you get a wonderful view.

This is on the inside looking out.

My grand niece brought her new puppy, Newman. He's a Yorkie and is cute as a button! He is going to be walking with us in the Paws On Parade fund raiser.

The kids all went swimming even though it was a bit chilly by the time we finished eating. They like jumping off the dock.

It was a great time. We were sad to see all our visitors leave but I'm sure they were ready to go home after having two weeks of rain here in Maine!

Mom and I just met my younger sister at our favorite pizza place. My nephew that owned it sold it a while back so we don't get down there as much so this was a real treat. Dad doesn't like pizza so he stayed home. It was pouring rain so he put Buddy in the barn. The rest of them can get in and out anytime but Buddy's paddock is separate. I have started riding him again and one of my neighbors yelled from her back deck that it was so good to see him out and about! That made me feel really good. All of my neighbors except one just love our horses. There's always one in every crowd.......

My mother is a good sport. You will agree with this when you see the pictures. My grand kids just love her and like to pester her and then giggle and laugh. On this day she was looking at their pictures that they had been working on and D accidentally got some marker on Mom's shirt. It was an old one so she didn't care and told them to have at it. This is the result. :o)

Almost time to go do chores. The horses can hear me open the gate from anywhere in the pasture no matter how quiet I try to be. I like to get their grain in their dishes before they come storming in but usually they are in there lined up behind me as I measure it out. I tell them to go get in their stalls and they are really good about it and go stand there and wait. They are such good boys, I don't know what I would do without them.

Sorry I haven't been around visiting much so far this week. It's been very hectic and this is the first I've had to get to my computer. Will try to get around to say Hi today and tomorrow! :o)
