Just need to talk to my friends (197)

They, OG&E sneak in and do their dirt. They were trimming these trees once and I went down and stopped them. They called their Supervisor and he came out. They stopped. Their electric line runs along the north side of the fsrm. We have East Central which is the other side of the road but they ran a line to our house years ago. East Central sends out a letter saying they're going to trim i and you can stop that. I can't see that North road now because of trees between here and there. One time they sneaked men in with sprayers on their back to spray trees( this was along the east side of the farm). Before I could get over there, they took off. Makes me really mad. Almost all of the trees were Bradford pears, along the north and west side of the meadow- so pretty in the spring when they bloomed.

Todd just called. Says Sarah hasn't eaten or talked for two days. Keeps her eyes closed. Hardly any urinary output and it is dark. She can hear him - can tell by her facial expression. Hospice has been coming daily and they say she is shutting down. He sounds so depressed, of course. We know how he is feeling. I told him if she is sleeping she is out of psin. I remember Scarlett told me the only time she wss out of pain was when she slept. She had MS and passed away in her sleep. She was young, too.

Glad your smoothie was still good,David. How long will it take to get the new one?

I went down to get the calf back with the heifers and can't find him. Called Toad and told him. He said he probably found a low place and crawled under the fence. Something is wrong with the Gator. Very hard to turn and speed doesn't register. Told him and he said they would check. He's still in that huge truck sprayimg. I had on socks and my leg just above was hurting like the dickens. Guess a wrap got me. It's red and swollen some with one sting mark. Put on Benadryl ointment, then put a wet aspirin on it. The other night I saw them spraying the gates. The wasps build nests in the ends of the pipes. I got stung last year closing a gate.

Talked again with Todd. He is taking such good care of Sarah. She is so lucky to have him. He said hospice is coming every day

Morning, very foggy here this morning, and quiet. Seems like it always is when it's foggy. Will have to wait until afternoon to spray.

Mint, , did your mothers cobblers have a bottom and top crust? Now they have cobblers with only a little crust or dough on top. Not a cobbler to me.

Going to warm up todsy. We had a good break so that was helpful but back to hot weather soon.

That sting hurt for a long time, still hurting five hours later when I went to bed. Itchy this morning.

JeriLynn, those baby goats are previous. I would like to have a coup!e just to watch. I have seen people doing yoga with baby goats standing on them.

Thanks for the prayers, HB. Todd has really been good with Sarah. I hear him talking to her and helping here when we talk. Time for juice and hot tea. Darwin just called. Said both Donna and he had a good night.

I just talked with Todd and told him you all are with him i n heart yoh all k you all and saying prayers for them. He said to thank you all and it was much appreciated. The hospice nurse had just left and she told him to.not give Sarah food or liquids while she wss laying down because she might aspirate. She's aware he is there but not opening her eyes or talking. He is giving her pain meds, liquid.

We've had a Ninja for years. Have made ice cream in it and it was delicious. I used frozen mangos and pineapple, 2 cups and I think 1/4 to 1/2 cups of milk, maybe a little sugar I have the frozen fruit to make more and should.

Beth, those flowers are beautiful. Years ago Charles and I found and dug up a lot of phloxand Shasta daisies along a highway in Arkansas. They were beautiful for a long time but finally went away. Seems like we can't have flowers or shrubs lately because the grasshoppers eat everything except crabgrass.

If any of you are on Facebook I wonder if you would look up Steve Harrison in Bixby, Okla. He is a chainsaw artist making figures from tree trunks. I need to get in touch with him and can't find his number and can't seem to get through to the tv station where I saw the story.

Thank you so very much. Beth. I will call him tomorrow. I'm going to have the huge elm taken out because it has died and if if was blown down it would crush the West end of the house. I know the tree is at least 75 years old. When it was small it began to split and daddy put a chain around it to keep it together. As it grew the chain has broken but has grown into the tree. If I can get him to do the work I can still have part of the tree after the top is taken out. I hate to lose trees and I have at least four that have died and need to be removed. Again, thank you so much.
