I'm Three Months Old and I need a Job!

There being no sheep in the near vicinity, Honey's guard dog instincts are trained on the cows. She is doing what the breed does at first-get them used to her-non threatening- just being there. Pyr's don't herd, they guard. Her mom is an Australian Shepherd mix so she may herd but she is all Pyr right now. She doesn't know she is just a little shaver. But if the cows get too pushy it is time to scoot for dad! We'll try again tomorrow.

A nap with Buster is always a nice thing too:

The day started out pretty nice but got more gray and windy. It is supposed to rain and as the clothesline is full it probably will but a rainwater rinse might be nice. Household chores are proceeding apace. After five months in Florida, there is plenty to do.

Sue called. The Wind River Casino has new procedures for Senior Tuesday and they were issuing permanent plastic cards. The line was long, long, long, but nobody left and things will move right along in the future. She said it was kind of fun because everybody shows up- lots of visiting. She might think it is fun because she won $75.00 two weeks ago on her free $5.00 chit and she won $150.00 yesterday. Plus the free lunches! I'm going to get a card. But Sue is such a good soul her dharma probably makes those cherries line right up.

Thayne was down to check on the cows (about 6 times a day but I saw him this time). Crops are in. They have quite a scientific experiment going. Their reputation as farmers is so excellent (best alfalfa hay in the U.S.A, best Coors regional barley) that seed companies are lining up to give them experimental seed. Not only that, Harlan, like his dad, is a firm believer in planting by the moon. They have the corn plots all assigned. This will be interesting. A word to the wise: stock up on your dried beans and other stuff now- the contract prices are sky high. Great for the growers, not so hot for the eaters.
