Good 57º cloudy morning.
I know this is late today, but par-tayed last night and got home late, much
to Maggie and Harley's chagrin as they were outside on the porch and Harley was
NOT happy being in the dark, and I hadn't started El Blogg-O until just now.
Using that laptop was frustrating, so now have a keyboard for the desktop and
I'm a happy camper!
Last year on this date it was Dooms Day. Guess we skated on that one!

He never impressed me, maybe because he always seemed to play a gawky dorky dumbo. Can't imagine that is too far from his real personality!
Yesterday as I was leaving to go into town this doe was laying in the shade
in my tractor shed. Her fawn was there also but my car scared the baby and he
ran....
A doe and her fawn has taken up cover there for the last few years. She
must be the same doe.
On my way into Grants Pass I was intrigued with the cloud
formations...
I went to Staples and got a keyboard .. then off to Dee and Dales. They had
their deck set up beautifully and everyone brought food and we had a great
time...
Bill and Jeannie brought Chaka and she and Sami played and had a blast.
Even the neighbor's pitbull mix, Macy, came up and was a sweetheart...
Sami and Chaka played so much and so hard they were both so exhausted...
Bill and Jeannie intensely peering into the valley...
.... and Jeannie and Cathy being silly...
A couple that was there, check this... Sue and Gerry! OMG. He was a
Josephine Co Deputy. Dale, in a slip, introduced him as Jerry Maxwell! Jeannie
said I was frozen. LOL. Nice couple. Enjoyed our gab fest.
Dee and Dale have the most spectacular cat, his name is Boogie .... all
black except for his toes are white, the most beautiful coat...shiny shiny black. Big boy.
A rescue. Someone probably dumped him off in the area Dee thinks. He is a love
and the pictures I took didn't come out well, so will try another time!
Here is my eclipse offering...
That's it, finally. Have a good Monday. Ciao.
