Took the puppy for a longer than usual walk at the farm again today, after Tuesdays got cut short by an uncommonly fast appointment at the hospital we were killing time for. So I had heard that they had cut a path between the beans and the pumpkins/gourds and sunflowers and went to have a mosey about. We walked elsewhere on the farm first, got to park somewhere not in a field, and came about from over the far side of the property. Found the new path through the nine foot tall weeds and got about five hundred paces on when I see a perfectly round shape sitting up on the mulched weeds. I thought it was plastic initially and wasn’t going to touch it, but upon closer inspection it was in fact a dull brushed nickel looking cap for the anti-surge. Vented even! So since it was on top of all the brush and debris I assumed (correctly) that it must have come off one of the tractors or the bush hog they used to knock down all the brush and create the path. That’s my good deed for the day sorted out then.
Puppy had a good long walk where he is free to run without fear of traffic, other dogs, or random people/small children. He chased squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits alike. All with reckless abandon. We even did a quick tour inside great grandmas house to nose around a bit. I’m still scared he’d try to pee on anything too rustic smelling in that old farm house. So I took him out as quickly as we went in. Found one of the older farm hands and stopped for a quick chat. Some had not met the puppy yet, so I introduced them.
It’s Thursday today. Getting very close to the end of the first month back to school. Testing, and homework have started up again, so things are in full swing. Looks as though things are going about as well as can be expected for two kids whom refused to do any reading, writing, or mathematics for two months straight. Have to get their thinking caps on! My wife and I love to read, and we read to them nightly. Not sure where the resistance to it comes from. I like gaming too, but not to the detriment of my IQ / learning capabilities. I’m sure it isn’t that bad, but it can sometimes feel that way. But I digress.
I can hear the laundry peeping, so I best go gather the laundry from out of the dryer. Ciao Bella!
