[AT] List quiet!! Everyone OK, or just waterlogged???

Sun Jun 9 19:47:40 PDT 2019

Just rambling...
I think this area is now about 95% planted but it is currently raining cats
and dogs and we have had maybe 2" this evening. I was over by the Ohio line
at Richmond IN today and it looks pretty well planted (lots of hills and
valleys that drain well)  but about 40 miles north of us there are big flat
areas that tend to pool badly and stand big shallow 5 acre lakes for weeks.
Some of those areas take a drain line about 3 or 4 miles long to drain
them, no close creeks. I suspect that there is a lot of water standing up
around Portland.
.
I had to put our family dog down this week... We have had her about 15
years.. Somebody had dumped her out and we usually just call the shelter
but she was obviously quite smart so we kept her. She did very well until
about last year. She was mostly Chow but got bad in the back and hips like
a German Shepherd. This year she went almost completely deaf but had
learned hand signals quickly but then her vision was slipping. Finally she
was becoming a little unstable and we were beginning to worry about her
biting someone. The last couple of days we have been trying to adjust to
her not being a huge part of our everyday lives. For many years now when we
buried a family pet we plant a tree at their grave and the tree then is
given the pets name since the pet becomes part of the tree. When I buried
her and put the sod back down I left a piece out of the center and planted
several sunflowers there. I have a small tulip poplar that I will move to
her grave.

Today was Diana and my 56th anniversary, I guess it is going to last...
:-)  Anybody that can live with me for 56 years is special.
.
One of our grandsons got married yesterday. They should be in London by now
and Paris in a day or two.
.
While I was typing this son Scott texted me an ad he had ran across for a
Farmall Super MTA diesel with fast hitch said to be in good shape, needing
paint. The kicker was that the seller was asking $9,200... YIKES!!!  :-)
.
The pic of us was taken at the wedding yesterday. I couldn't find a tractor
to stand in front of.  :-)
