Thanks:)

I really appreciate your finding that for me:)

Jenny was here and we were looking at Belle, and I told her the only thing I was worried about was if I got the dates wrong. I've been worrying I had the month wrong, and that would mean she would be due around the time we will be gone to that clinic.

Even now if she carries it longer she could be pushing that date, but I can't imagine it going to much overdue.

Ah... well, it does get a little sticky trying to make plans to go.

Who'll feed for you while you're gone?

I have a story I keep forgetting to tell. Around here, we have a problem with Scotch Broom. It's an invasive, fast growing shrub that is really a weed. It was brought in many years ago now by the Dept of Transportation, and they planted it all along the freeways as landscaping. Now it takes over any open ground and is a problem within 5 miles of the freeway. OK well, the other thing it does is bloom. Yellow. And not a particularly pretty yellow, IMHO, a bright caution sign yellow. When I moved in here nearly four years ago, this stuff was 10 feet tall and thick to the point of not being able to walk through in the whole pasture. The stuff behind Bay was cut at the same time the pasture was but allowed to come back.

The other day a woman was standing out there between the scotch broom and my fence and I stepped out to see if she wanted to say anything to me. She says "this shrub sure is beautiful! What is it? I've been seeing it all morning!" I said "You ain't from around here are ya?"

Heh... She was from Canada.
