Country Days Gently Fold into the Next One......

This is the first time ever that we have no return date to our visit here at the ranch.

One day is gently folding into the next with no agenda and no time restraints. No appointments and no real schedule. Each day arrives as a blank canvas to be painted as we will.

We tend to go to bed earlier than usual and I am waking up later than normal!

Last night we had a bedtime of 11:00 and I got up at 11:00 this morning.

Sleeping soundly and sleeping long has got to be one of the biggest blessings in life.

I walked up to the Big Tank early this afternoon.

It is beautiful up there.

I love the 'Sounds of Summer!'

It's been hot today but not 100 degrees - yet!

Still, I find it cooler up here by the water and in the trees.

I'm learning to wear a hat in the summer sun.

I drove the Big White Truck down to Dean's place and did a load of laundry.

Alas, the road is bumpy and my camo thermos of tea spilled out on my phone!

Everything still works on the phone EXCEPT my camera!

You can barely see my ride in the background.

As I left I spied a beautiful brown rabbit and it froze when I started the four-wheeler up.

It may be silly but I look for a special something every day and I always find it! Today was that bunny.

Dean came to my rescue with my phone!

He went down to his place and brought me a bag of rice.

That's where my phone is now.

I guess I will leave it there until tomorrow and see if that clears up my camera lens.

Our hillbilly clothes line!

They dried pretty fast!!

I rode my bike up to the gate and fed the horses a few sugar cubes

I meant to check the mail box. Read's grocery store ads come out today!

I'm feeling like a real resident planning our meals around what's on sale at the store!

This is how Louis Dean started the day!

Of course, we had coffee and reading first but he was up working for a couple of hours before I got up.

I used my little purple camera to take this pic of how he ended his day.

He did rest some in between but he is working hard.

I made a new friend today.

Jessica used to live in Waco - for 42 years!

I'm always excited to 'meet' someone who has been reading my blog.  We are now Facebook Friends! Another new friend I am so enjoying getting to know is Trudy!  It's nice to have a relationship that works both ways.....they know me through the blog and then I get to know them by Facebook or emails. Niki is a special friend as is Donna whom I have had the blessing of meeting.

Debbie is another sweet sister blogger that means so much to me!

I am so blessed by the people who read. Thank you!

And tomorrow is another day........
