HI FROM THE LAND....

Hi – I realize it’s been awhile since I’ve written. On Monday, I ran Tom and Jeni and family to the airport since they are going to the Ava youth camp (they are doing some other traveling while down there too). So, I turned around that night and came home in the wee hours of the morning. It took me a day or so to recover from that.

We did get all our square bales and put up in good time. Tony says we put up 4,727 square bales and 167 round bales. I know we’ve put up way more round bales than that number because that was a number he gave me early last week, and I’ve seen them hauling tons more round bales this week.

The weather has been beautiful this week – mostly sunshine all the time. We’ve had some strong winds for the past couple of days. There have been strong wind warnings on my weather bug for days so I don’t think we’re the only ones getting this wind – Fbks & Delta too, maybe Tok? Our nights are beginning to take on a cool tinge, letting us know that fall time is around the corner. L

Bill Casey, who is in charge of our garden, says we are done weeding in the garden. Now it is time to start harvesting. We’ve started, just this week, to eat fresh squash and cabbage. We’ve been eating lettuce for a long time. Of course, we’ve been eating our green house goods for a very long time, and they are so good that we rarely share (we consume them all).

I heard that we have finally named that dark colt – her name is Palin after, you’ve guessed it – Sarah Palin, our soon ex-governor, if not already ex-governor.

Brad with a crew of misfits (Rich, Seth, Joey, and Tommy) has been putting up a house on the Clearwater River. I’m calling them misfits because none of them except maybe Tommy are Brad’s regular crew, but, hey, they’re getting the work done.

Oh… how could I forget – Bonnie and Jim Mason are here visiting for a couple of weeks. Another oh… - Canda Stiner is arriving today and will be here for a few weeks.

Sarah Grado’s (can’t remember her married name) two children are here visiting Jo and her family. Last night, Serena with her two boys came out. It was quite cute to see all those cousins playing together.

Tommy’s dad and nephew went home this week.

Merlin went to Skagway this week to meet up with his sisters.

We went to Lisa Lake one night to swim and fish. Here are a few pictures: click on the title of this post to get to the link of pics..



Have a great weekend.
