  • I love June and lilacs and our pond with the picnic table and chairs all ready for guests to drop by.  The smell of the lilacs on our back deck is intoxicating, I could sit there and smell them or hours!

    Today when I went to pick up our milk from Joy (three gallons now, for three families!), I heard a pitiful little meow.  I followed the noise and found a lost little kitten in the corner of Joy's garage.   She was really only a few feet away from her momma and siblings, but because the door was shut, she couldn't find her way to them.  When I left, momma kitty was trying to coral the little one and get her back where she belonged.  I hope she was successful.

    Sunday night while we were eating (out by the pond!), Daniel was very excited to see our two cows.  "Sheep, sheep!" he said and grinned.  No amount of correcting would get him to remember.....they are cows, not sheep.  I guess "sheep" is easier to say then cows!  The cows stood and watched us while we ate our dinner.  For cows, they have very pretty and very sweet faces.  I wonder............will we be able to eat them????  I do believe they think they've died and gone to cow heaven...they are in pasture grass up to their tummies.

    Off to Durango for the afternoon.  At least the sky is clear and it's a gorgeous day.  The smoke from the Arizona fires (third worst in Arizona history) must be blowing another way.
