Folks are worried and crops and animals here in the country are taking it day by day. Me too, day by day has always been my best strategy. I try to find something good in everything but sometimes it is hard, I must admit. I haven't been bloggy lately either. I figure anyone attempting to share online has their ups and downs. When I write here I picture talking to an old friend that I haven't known for years and don't know well enough to name names but nevertheless we like to talk about life in general, even if it is a little one directional :). Ahh, my first smiley face on here too. Uh-oh, I must be getting comfortable talking to long lost stranger friends....
So lately we've been trying to beat the heat, last weekend we did a mad dash to Silver Dollar City just so I could see the miniature horses that were there for two days.
Can you blame me? Check these beauties out! Three feet tall and sweet as can be. The little foal was just a few weeks old and maybe reached my knees. The black splotched one has light blue eyes, I wish I got that picture. Very cool.
Then we spent the afternoon in the sun and water. Supergirl is looking especially cute here during a forced shade break. She's a trooper when it comes to earplugs and sunblock, I don't think those things even existed when I was a kid. I spent the summers nut brown and dirty and having a blast outside.
Over the next few days I developed a pretty strong summer cold complete with fever, aches and a powerful headache. This was hard for me to accept because I have had less than a cold a year for a long time, dare I say I think my immune system is superstrong! Not this time. I took it as a cue to sleep a lot and take it EASY. Overall the experience hasn't been too bad, it did make me aware of how healthy I usually am--see I found something good in it.
We refilled the hummingbird feeders since they appeared to be drunk from fermented sugar water. They are interesting little birds. One of them buzzed SuperDude for filling the feeder with fresh go juice. They seem to be sharing better this year. I have seen all four perches filled at the same time. I would guess there's 5-10 regulars at our house.
Speaking of birds, the chickens are panting to stay cool. This is T.K. our rooster. If you are wondering, T.K. stands for Toby Keith and I named him. He's not the most aggressive rooster I ever met but he sure does crow a lot.
The clouds have been building up today and we can see rain coming down some distance away. The forecast changes daily here but I believe I heard there's a chance of rain tomorrow. I combined almost all our hoses together to water the bushes by the road tonight. That might help the chance of rain, kind of like when you wash your car. Have a good week! Find the good in the smallest things and more will come.
