Opps Foxy. As beautiful as it is that pic had malware.

Really? I have great virus protection and it didn't object to it. Running a Malwarebytes scan though as a precaution.

Edit: Scans completed and the only thing that turned up was that annoying Pup.optional malware that seems to be everywhere these days. Malwarebytes founds four infections of that and removed them. It now scans clean.

Last night we had t-storms moving though, the power went out follow a millisecond by a flash and thunder.
Foxy, I'm willing to bet you lost power this time also......... Did look longingly across the valley at the lovely sight of Rio Rancho lit up.........

We did get extremely brief power interruption in two lighting flashes but didn't lose power. Knocked our wifi and cable out very briefly but both quickly rebooted.

Just bought an Agri-Fab lawn sweeper. I've tried raking and burning leaves in the Fall, but it's just way too big of a job, it takes days and days. Now I can clean up the leaves and never have to get off the John Deere.

After a bunch of research I decided on this one...

Well, being on your side of Wyoming used to put you in the wrong highschool district--our side is in the La Cueva district and your side I think in the Del Norte district. That may have changed recently though. I suspect there is probably a vulnerability to electrical disruption in a small area over there that doesn't exist so much in our area? Our utilities are all underground here. Don't know if that is the case everywhere though.

My latest project

 

[saveliberty]

Main landing area is 94 square feet. I put in all the plants too, except the large hydrangea.

 

[peach174]

That's beautiful.

 

[saveliberty]

That's beautiful.

It would be even better looking if not for the temporary soaker hoses I have running through the beds. Hate to see over a thousand dollars in plants die for lack of water.

Hey peach174 , how is Mr. P doing?

Thank you for asking.
He is doing better than he was.
He got really bad blood blisters from his air walker cast last week and it was all around his ankle.
Been busy getting him to Doc. Specialist in skin wounds at the Hospital in Benson.
Saw him last Fri., then this Mon. then this coming thursday again.
His ankle looked much better this morning when his bandages were changed.

There's a thing called trauma blisters. I had to look it up when my partner broke his ankle last year. They occur as collateral damage to the soft tissue surrounding broken bones and such. Pretty gnarly!!

Last Tue. Mr. P walked too much, which caused 2 to 3 inch wide blood blisters all around his ankle and heel. He can't feel his legs very well due to the M.S.
When he took his morning shower on Wed. we found them.
I drained it and bandaged it up temporarily, because he was seeing our reg. Dr. at 9:00 a.m.
He sent him to a skin wound specialist which he saw last Fri. and again this Mon.
We see him again on Thur. He is using this honey cream medical treatment that's healing him up pretty quickly. The honey helps to drain it.
Mr. P will be getting the dead skin cut away and a foot bath on Thursday.
It's looking much better and today he started walking without his walker and is using his cane.
He went to visit a neighbor this morning for a short time, he was getting cabin fervor.

Honey is a natural antibiotic, too.

Just stopping by to catch up. Everyone seems to have weathered (pun intended) their recent adventures well enough. Nothing spectacular here, but I wish we could go one day without rain.
My partner's cat ran away last weekend. We stopped at the grocery store and she jumped out of the car. I might have been able to coax her back but two well-meaning guys saw her jump and decided to "help" catch her. Strangers freaked her out and she took off into the nearest patch of woods. I've filed a lost cat report with the local shelter and hope she shows up. She's quite old, at least 10 or more, and is strictly an indoor kitty.
I visited the local truss manufacturer and am going to order my barn trusses from them. It costs more up front than if I built them myself, but I'm about timed out for this season. Plus, I won't have to fight constantly with the partner about how to put these things together. Sometimes, you value your time enough to hire an expert to do something for you...that's the case here.
I've gotta get back to work. I have a few goals before I head back to Willow. I want to be moved up there by the end of this month.
Miss y'all and hope to have more time shortly.

My latest project

Are you working on an ? :P

 

[ChrisL]

Here is a picture of my pepper plant. See the pepper? It's the only one I have so far. It looks like it is starting to produce a lot more now though.

Happy Friday! (It is Friday, right?)

Happy Friday Dance

I guess my phone didn't work, so...I'll try again:

I needed a dose of dog today, so I went and got Casey to hug and play with...and I wanted y'all to see his pancake paws compared to my hand, lol.

Surrounded by the babies I get for him at the thrift shop

Pancake paw! When he is standing up, it spreads out flattened like a pancake. He weighs 88 lbs!
