**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I’ve always had patience for slow learners….. …..I am a slow learner….. I chew on things…I ruminate…I forget…and then later…maybe…I re-visit the problem….. …..and…I might have an ah-ha moment…(and actually remember it/or apply it later)…(or maybe not)….. For years I’ve been wondering why there’s been a perpetual puddle in the pasture between the livestock tanks….. …..it’s always been there…soggy and slurpy and muddy….. I would suspect and fix non-existent leaks in the water…

It’s that yearly get-together after the heat of the summer and the long off-season…..

I was going to clean-up the area around the hitching post on our driveway….. …..all of the recent rains have washed leaves and sand into wet dunes all over the cement….. It’s not dry enough to blow off yet…it needs a flat-bottomed shovel to scoop and push all of the debris back to where it came from….. I needed this cleared so I…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* CLICK HERE***Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel*** It’s that steaming…..caked…..moldy…..fungus-growing…..time of the summer….. Everything is driven by the intolerance  &  irritability with the heat….. Everyone’s tempers are high and patience…..short….. Even little things…..when they go wrong…..they seem….. …..so much more…..gargantuan….. Like…..I misplaced (lost) my camera….. …..(the one I take stupid pictures on for my Blog)….. …..I’m sure I put it someplace very safe….. …..but my short-term (and long-term) memory…

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* I love Irish Wolfhounds….. What with all of the poisonous-nasties outside…..I can’t keep them as outside animals….. …..as a result…..they are all house pets…..all seven of them….. They don’t have sleek coats like greyhounds or whippets….. They’re always tangled/hairy fur-balls….. …..(but then…..so am I)….. …..(and because I couldn’t keep up with the bush hogging this year…..they are fur-balls filled with burrs right now)….. …..(sigh)….. In addition to the burrs…..their…

*******Maybe This Link Will Get You To My Tick Tock Channel******* *****What’s A Patrice?***** Taps please….. *******The Bugle Playing Of Taps******* Over the years, I’ve had many Patrice’s….. And they have all been my friends….. …..it’s a sadness when one passes….. …..it’s not really a death…..it’s more of a sloughing process….. …..sometimes they are held together more by the darning than by the original seam-work or fabric….. But it’s always a poignant  &  sad moment….. So many memories are etched/carved/stained (and…
