A long row to hoe...

 

Today I started my walk just before 7 am.  I walked to the bottom of the far side of Meek Hill.  Home back behind the trees, obscured by the fog.

The dogs are always so excied to go walking.  When I come out the back door, they start hopping aournd.  If I go to the car, they looked all dejected. Grey dog has broken a toe nail, and is favoring her left front paw some.  It should be all better in a few days. 

Shell we climb over the gate and take the short cut thru the fields?  I have gone that route a couple of times.  I actually took longer than going the long way by the road.

And hoeing that row.  I used to love watching Tim Russert on Meet The Press.  He was always so enthusiatic about politics.  He died in June of 2008.  I always thought it was such a shame he did not get to see Obama come to the Presidency  Chuck Todd took over Meet The Press after Russet's death.  Today was Chuck Todd's last broadcast hosting that program.  Kristen Welker will now hoe Tim's row. A fitting followup to Tim's legacy.

Yesterday

Helen and I went to Betty's.  We had a great time. On the way down at Harrison, we entered a balloon field. Every year Harrison hosts a hot air balloon event.  I think it sounds interesting, but I am not a crowd person. Three Sisters is crowd enough for me.

Walk at dawn

Sister Helen and I are going to other sister's today, so I walked my mile at dawn. Hope I live to walk another day. Helen is driving.

Beautiful day

One more day of work this week.

It has not been nearly as hot this week. Mostly in the mid 80's.  One more week of work and then vacation time. I am excited.

Fall is coming

Sassafras leaves are turning.

Rain, Blessed Rain

We got probably more than 1/4 inch and now it is much cooler. No watering the tomatoes today.
