Well, Praise the Lord! I’m not sure how many times I’ve tried, restarted, re-entered passwords, enabled blue tooth, enabled wi-fi, until I finally deleted everything and restarted everything. Gah! What a mess. And all because of a stupid password on an updated router! But my camera once again talks to my iPad! Whoop whoop!
So…. Where were we?
The rug I’m weaving on the peg loom is at a standstill until I find more plastic bags to finish it up.
I’ve worked a full week at the library which means I haven’t had time to work with the guys. The weather has been fantastic, in the 50’s and even 60’s. The cows are doing great. Some people say their trees and plants are starting to bud out, which is bad… The snowpack in the mountains and the dryness everywhere has people leaning to “Worry Level 1”. There’s time for snow to arrive, but it’s been a weird non-winter. Vernon keeps mentioning the disastrous winter of the late 1800’s that killed so many of the thousands of Texas cattle they brought into this country. It had a warm winter until all hell broke loose in about April. I’d have to look up the details, but that’s how we remembered the story.
We did go to look for the Lord’s cabin and dugout from the historical story I shared last week. We found the foundation and a few other things too. Stories to come.
When Vernon and I went on the search, I had on a sweatshirt, which soon was too warm for the hike! To do this hike this time of year is all wrong. It was too warm and too dry!
The Nowood is 20-30 feet below us and resting on this hillside was warm! Now at one time, I’ve probably ridden my horse along this trail, with a death grip on the horn and my feet barely in the stirrups, but today, without my hiking sticks, Vernon came back to lend a hand. I’m getting less and less crazy about heights the older I get! It was only for a bit, about 15 feet where the bank was really steep and then I was ok again. Rolling down a hill is ok, falling off a cliff is not! Nevertheless, I shouldn’t be hiking this trail in February! It should be snowy and muddy and slick and cold! It is nice that it isn’t, though!
