Good Morning Peeps... Happy Friday... gray misty morning here this morning... got out for a morning walk in the cool wet morning air...



Kinda surprised that it is still gray outside... breeze picking up now... was totally calm earlier this morning...

 

Wow… august went fast… we hung out… visited… watched Bar Rescue on Pluto… cooked… enjoyed meals together… did some touristy things… went to Fort Laramie and walked around… I hadn’t been there since a field trip … in grade school I think… so it has been a day or two…lol…

 

went to the hot air balloon races… near miss on some deer on the way to that one… just saw them in the shadows along the side of the road…

 

Saw the rat rod show… fun times… went on to the muscle car show… ya… that’s right… I love looking at old cars and motorcycles… checked out the museum in Torrington…

 

Looked through the homesteaders’ museum in Gering… that one is much larger than I thought it was…

 

Yes we actually threw a fishing line in the lake… caught something too… a lovely Russian olive tree… was a catch and release situation though… lol…

 

Checked out the Firehouse Grill in Lyman several times… had some good food and drank some beer… laughed and generally enjoyed each other’s company…

 

Then… ya… then August 31st came rolling in… and it was time for him to head back to his home in the city… sigh… was a really good month…

 

MowMowTat even got up and sat on his lap… the ultimate compliment… the pits liked him… he played music for them… happy dogs… now it is just me and the critters again… and yes… I still have a smile on my face…

 

Sorry I disappeared… but I was a wee bit occupied… lol…

 

Heard a pheasant call yesterday morning… in the gray dawn… another gray morning today… so what is on the docket for today… already got my morning walk in… picked up the mail from yesterday… walked the loop up the hill and back down the upper driveway…

 

Listening to some music on youtube while I am writing… gonna do tai chi as soon as I finish up… pay some bills… fold some laundry (maybe) … have a dr appt this afternoon… not sure I am going to make that… would just as soon stay away from doctors’ offices…

 

Spent a bit over a week after the balloon races sick… lost my sense of smell… for several days… 4 or so I think… slept a lot… glad that is over… was pretty mild considering… so… yes it breaks through… even though it was mild… it knocked me on my backside for several days… glad I made the choices I did… wouldn’t want to deal with it without some immunity… we all make our choices… and get to deal with the consequences of said choices…

 

Was seriously weird not being able to smell my coffee… smh… glad I can smell stuff again… well not so glad about some things… cleaning the cat litter box… for instance… lol…

 

Saw some golden rod blooming… bright gold along the roadsides… beautiful yellow coming on in spots on the cottonwood trees… yes… autumn is coming on … my favorite season… golden bean fields… as they ripen… sunflower fields in bloom… stretching on as far as you can see… cornfields heavy with ears of corn… alfalfa blooming… then in heavy windrows… waiting for the baler…

 

The morning air was sweet with the scent of cut alfalfa this morning when I was out walking… Moe (orange and white yard cat) escorted me through my entire walk… Larry (her brother) came bounding up the upper drive as we were coming on down…

 

Wild sunflowers blooming along the roadsides… birds gathering up in huge flocks… getting ready to fly south… September in southeastern Wyoming…

 

Gonna make me another cuppa coffee and get on with the day…

 

Gratitudes… a morning walk… coffee… another day…

 

May you walk in peace…

 

Later Taters…
