Where do I begin?

Since my last post in May...so much has happened. It rained for almost 2 months straight, actually a record for this area at 56 inches so far this year. The garden was a bust because I couldn't even get in to till the ground, not much luck with mowing either. The ground was so wet the mower left huge ruts in the ground. In late June, one of my best wethers [a neutered guy sheep] took sick...really sick. It was trying one thing after another,consultations with the vets office...this drug/that drug, B-complex shots, pain killer shots...hours on the net looking for some ray of hope to get him back on track. Twice during that time...I found myself 'saying'..."if there is no improvement over this week-end...that's it". Through some miracle...he started to get better...one tiny step at a time. To this day he gets yogurt and his tonic [Power Punch from Tractor supply] at least 3 times  week.The first day he ran across the yard to get his yogurt...I knew things were good!

"Bucky"...aka Gabe in his polar fleece jacket for the Winter.  Five months doctorin' a sheep..hope the fleece is worth it!...(^_^)>>>>>

In the middle of all this ..I was finishing three rooms upstairs that had been left untouched for 13 years ....major work....re-plastered, scraping of old paint, priming, color selection and ...last but not least....finished the bathroom that has been in primer white for 13 years too....I moved here 13 years ago and started the process of a sympathetic restoration of this house built in 1834.  Is that just nutz or what?

The big thing now is the Penn State pedophile scandal....and right here in Pennsyltucky! Is the world going mad? It will be interesting to see how many more shoes drop before its' over...I'll blog more on this subject in a few days.

And if that's not enough...all this fuss about the GOP candidates...I only had the opportunity to watch this last debate and was very disappointed that the selection of the candidates to speak seems to favor only a few ...more on this subject later too.

Hopefully, I can make more time in the coming days to sound-off ....

 Later!
