It’s a muddy mess on our property right now but I drove my little car through all the slush, mud puddles and mud bogs. Those young kids with the 4-wheelers would have had a blast. Not me though, I don’t like being pulled this way and that as I try to keep an even speed to get through our 40 acres. At least the hill up to the house isn’t like that. I took my camera today and as I was taking pictures, I felt like I was being watched. On a near butte I could see a huge bald eagle. I looked but thought it was just too big be an eagle and it must just be a rock formation jutting out. Then it turned it’s head so I zoomed the camera in and got a picture. It’s the biggest eagle I have ever seen. They hang around at calving time for the leftover afterbirth. I’m so glad I got a picture so my husband can see it for himself. He says sometimes they sit quietly on a fence post waiting and they are pretty darn big…but this one was a monster.
Got some good pictures. All the windows and french doors have been installed. (no handles or locks yet though). I’m worried the constuction workers might have to wait for the road to dry out before they come back up so things might slow down. The electrical panel is in and looks good…like I know anything about electrical stuff. lol
RG, I did my best to not get irritated at mom. She talked about the casino and that she is going to an out of town casino with 5 of her friends the end of the month. They’re spending the night and I’m sure they’ll have fun. I tried to tune out the casino talk but then she got on how much it’s going to cost to have her tooth fixed and everything one dentist told her and then what another dentist told her…finally she was running out of tooth talk so then it went to her city water garbage sewer is going up and ‘us seniors’ just can’t afford that. She doesn’t realize that we’re all in the same boat together. Mom’s social security and the 2 pensions my dad left her is a lot more than I make a month so she is very fortunate. I didn’t tell her today, because I’m trying to be nice, but I have told her before that the real thief cutting into her living/spending money is the casino. Maybe someday she’ll realize that on her own.
Hope everyone had a great gamble-free Saturday. I did.
