Friday again

Had the Endoscopy test done yesterday. It was a piece of cake actually. Best news is I am fine. No damage to my esophogas. Pete drove me home to Jill and the kids. They came to my house and cooked supper for all of us. It was great seeing them since they just returned from a week in Maine.

I am at Panera Bread now catching up on computer stuff and then having an interview for a job. Busy, busy place. There has been a line at the counter for over 2 hours. It is raining here today. Just drizzle. Cooler temps too. August is usually cooler anyway.

Fair week starts Monday. That is the Washington Co. fair. I have written about it in years past. It is a farmer's fair. When you walk around the grounds you have to keep an eye on where you are putting your feet. It is not unusual to see a young child leading his/her cow around the midway. I hope to go over for the horse shows. I think Emily will be showing her new horse. I am so happy for her. He is a 17 yr. old retired open jumper, a Dutch warmblood, huge, black and loveable. He was a gift and came with all his clothing, equipment and tack.

Gloria and Emory are preparing to go to Alaska. Rosie will come to stay with Bash and me. She and Bash get along well most of the time. She dashed in from the dining room to grab a bone they had been sharing, bit him in the muzzle, grabbed the bone and took off. He lept out of the way of her. She is the boss lady. Bash is feeling better although he is still eating grass and drinking lots of water. He is supposed to take the antibiotic for another week. He had a lyme booster shot and will have another in a couple of weeks. But I talked with the pet shop and they don't advise giving the boosters. I can only hope I have done the right thing.

The Olympic games are robbing me of my beauty sleep. I cannot not watch them and end up staying up until after midnight. Sometimes I doze off and miss the one event I stayed up for.

The garden is producing lots of good veggies. I cannot wait to dig in the old tires to find out what the potatoes look like. But there are plenty of tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, squash, cukes, carrots and onions. I don't need to plant corn since I am surrounded by corn planters. They pick it every day and put it out by the road. Here are some photos that I think you will enjoy. One is a shot of roadside flowers, some are of the farm where Emily rides in Pawlet, VT.
