My life here has been very busy, I maintain our own home and work with the horses, etc – Yesterday my friend and I commented that we still do and still enjoy what we always have done – clean up the barn, groom the horses, plan for the storage of this winter’s hay, fix tractors, mow the lawns, cleaning house, pull weeds, cut up trees that fell in the winter storms, ….. – but at 80 plus years, it just takes us a lot longer to do it all!!! So, that is why I have not been updating this blog. – I have just been slow and busy.
In addition to doing those things, I like to ride bike every day, if possible – often over gravel roads – With lots of rain – many puddles on the road – while navigating one such puddle my phone left my hip pocket – un-be-known to me – at 10:00pm I discovered it’s absence. The app – “Find my iPhone” showed me it was over two miles down a dirt road. – it did not appear to be in a puddle! So off we go – with Google’s find my iPhone Map telling me approximately where it was and a friend calling me – 41 times I understand – I walked the road in the dark looking for the light when a missed-call comes in and listening for the dog bark (My ring tone is a dog barking) – Finally a glow in the middle of the road followed by a barking dog. We found it!!! We celebrated – Maybe said a silent prayer – Joy on Drummond! –
The scary part is that is not the first time I lost it while on a bike ride on remote dirt roads – I will not put it in that hip pocket again – ha ha – unless I forget! ‘Cause I said the same thing before.
Anyway – here are a couple recent photos of Life on Drummond.
In the 4th of Julyt parade
Perla will not get back in trailer after the parade – after one half-hour of “Whispering” I decided she and I should have a “Come to Jesus” meeting – In she went! – I think that meeting technique will work in the future too!
This morning at 6:30 am – Beautiful morning – 48 degrees – Look at the end of the dock – My friend rides her bike to my dock each morning and hauls in her bait traps – she is an avid fisherwomen – every day at least 4 hours on the Bay fishing for Perch
My garden loves the cool weather and the frequent showers we have been having – and of course they are very happy for the deer repellent I put on every day or so
The sunsets are beautiful, and the deer love them. Photo is from a few days ago.
