What a lovely stretch of weather we have had, hot days, cool nights.

I managed to get the horses’ rain sheets washed and waterproofed.

The bugs aren’t too bad

And the chooks have been out all day enjoying the nice weather

Mr P is pretty much back to his old self, and is back to chasing Mr LC I am glad to see.

Your scenery pics are wonderful. Takes me back to my foggy farm day scenes!

We never had dogs or cats for the kids when we parents BOTH worked but we did keep caged in-house birds then ~ cockatiels/English budgies/parakeets/parrot/canaries. Once DD was 16 & working she bought her 1st dog a Rottie & took care of his expenses herself which included food, license, vet bills, vaccinations, & fence repairs. She bought her 1st house at 19 & also kept 2 cats that lived to 18 yrs. Today in her 50's she rescues pit-mixes whenever she loses a dog (bigger dogs have shorter lifespans avg 10-12 yrs).

Your kitten is so cute. Nice that they have better lifespans than most dogs.

Your Granma made good use of her crafting skills ~ no TV's or internet to distract her in the olden golden days. In the 1950's when I was a kid my Pop bought a TV w/a tiny fuzzy 8-inch black & white screen w/ only 3 channels, poor reception, & went off air after sunset Teehee! It wasn't a piece of technology that glued us to it so we had plenty of free time to play, do chores which is fun on a farm, read, bicycle to the neighbors down the road to visit w/their kids, etc. I feel sorry for city kids that can't/don't have that Nature's life.

Mineral Sunday

as promised....

Last weekend Mrs. BY Bob and I took a vacation to New England. We stopped off in the Maine mineral museum. Mrs BY Bob is obsessed with gem stones and they mine a lot of them in Maine. Little did we know that the museum has the largest collection of meteorites in the world.

You can even touch them.

Even better though, the have pieces of the moon......

And MARS...

That fell to earth as meteors.

It was amazing to hold pieces of MARS and the moon and totally unexpected. I recommend that if you ever find yourself in the area that you go to the museum. Amazing!

Nope. There was a guide who handed it to you and asked you to pass it on.
