My phone autocorrects to the most improper words. You'd think a 14 year old boy was using my phone.
Coffee anyone ?

Loving the herd life
On my second cup and I may need some more after this. I have found that I'm having trouble sleeping, my mind is racing-I'm waiting to hear from the masters program about when I'm starting classes. My advisor mentioned that it may be October-I think it would be nice to know a little ahead of time. But I might be reaching. 
It's chilly this morning, of course my air conditioner kicked on-this thing is SO not functioning properly. When it's 95 degrees it goes on strike.
Last night we had an interesting experience. We know that we have a bazillion turkeys that live in the trees, but while eating dinner out on the deck we watched one take off like a jet and land in the cherry tree right over our heads. HUGE tom turkey. The branch was a little too thin for him and he rolled off of it-very ungracefully onto the deck beside our table.
He shook his feathers out and strutted off and you could almost hear him saying "I meant to do that-I don't greet you folks often enough". My small dog, Shelby, hid under the table for the rest of the meal peering out into the skies just in case more turkeys were going to drop from the heavens.
TodayI am cleaning up the garage. part 2. My hay bales exploded everywhere for some reason, which smells wonderful, but I have hay in and on everything. Tomorrow is the High School homecoming, and our apparatus is in a parade so I have to wash both ambulances and my first responder car. I hope it's slightly warmer than it is this morning-we get soaked spraying the ambulances down. My crews are looking forward to the parade and football game that follows. It's a fun day for all!

It's amazing the flight ability of those toms! They don't appear capable of lifting the bulk, when strutting about. Cattle ... Another bulk mass that is far more agile than we may think. Respect them and their space. 
Nice temps, clear skies, humidity down, a day at home.
What more could ya want?. Coffee good. Sounds like a good start....

Turkey bomb! That’s funny!
I woke up at 2:30, I guess I’m worried about how the devil I’m going to make it the first 2 weeks after knee replacement surgery. Chris and his girlfriend came over yesterday and said they would pick me up from the hospital, and take me to therapy until I can drive. One or the other will stay with me during the day. I’m going to do some cooking so I only have to heat up something to eat. I’m stubborn, hard headed, and determined. I’ll get it done.

First cup in, considering another (who am I kidding-I'm getting another cup) Went off to bed early last night, after the Mets game-it was a nail biter for sure. This weekend is consumed with football-high school homecoming today then PAL tomorrow. We do ambulance standbys for the games and since the young kids in my company can't be bothered-my weekend is full. 
DS1 just scared the bejeezus out of me, creeping in to "borrow" an egg. He's planning a great Sunday dinner for us all, so I can't complain. He's a fantastic chef, thank goodness because I'm a basic cook-hot and edible is my specialty.
I got an email from my school requesting a revision/clarification on my personal statements. Yeah, that ruined my mood. I did it and resubmitted, so now I've got something to worry about until I hear back-thank goodness-I thought I'd be able to just enjoy my weekend.
Last night we heard what sounded like owls-a whole bunch of them. Very cool, but Shelby wanted no part of that so she went inside. My golden, Honey, was scouting the yard for them-she is a hunter and those owls would have been unlucky had they gotten near her. The other dogs slept right through. they only pay attention if they hear the dog food bin open or a cheese wrapper.
Off for the next cup!

I’ve done my pre-op exercises, been outside, fed rams and their paramours, turned ewes and dogs out and now my reward, coffee and BYH. I slept until 6:30 this morning. It’s real foggy, can’t see end of driveway. Can’t see my ewes out on the field. Went to town yesterday, TSC for dog food, Walmart for stuff and a few groceries. I walked 3.2 miles for my days total. I’ll put another coat of paint on my closet boards, maybe put up brackets today. Maybe.

I’ve sat here all morning catching up on BYH, TEG and SS. Plus I needed the rest. Going outside now.

Good that you are doing your pre-op BYH, TEG And SS reading. You need to hone your abilities since that is all you'll be able to do in a couple of weeks
You would think! I don't remember what I was was typing the other day but it changed one word to "crap". I did not type, nor intend to type, "crap"!!!!My phone autocorrects to the most improper words. You'd think a 14 year old boy was using my phone.

Cool 60 and thick fog at get up an hr ago. Burning off now. I'll close windows soon as cool night air changes to heated. Then, morning chores and back in to get the corn cut from ears removed from freezer for room to put meats, then can it for winter. That's a morning job while grass dries -- gotta mow this afternoon -- back to a working life come Monday.
Right now I'm enjoying my coffee and catching up on everyone else.
