Odds N Ends

Thank you to Ruth C, Dina F and to the Senior Class of the Home Tech School in Paradise for their donations. What a wonderful surprise!! Thank you, too, to Anonymous who has been saving her change and sent 12 rolls of coins. It really added up. It's a great way to support Home At Last. Go to the Dollar Store, get a bag of coin wrappers and start saving. You won't miss the change and the horses will benefit. Thank you again to everyone who helps the horses.
Our backs will be aching tomorrow. Jim carried a ton of rocks to make planters, then scooped muck and manure so I could fill the planters. I pitchforked the muck and planted. Lots of seeds and tomatoes and eggplants are in. Fairly warm today. Supposed to rain again Sun and Wed. The flies are very happy.
Feisty cat is asleep on my purse. His little head is inside the purse and his paws are holding on to it. It's really cute.
We are holding off on making plans for the Threshing Bee at Patrick's Ranch. It's always fun to be there, but not sure yet when the epidemic will be over. Congratulations to all the horse owners who have decided to miss shows and keep their horses safe. It may be an over-reaction, but isn't a horse's life worth missing a show or two?
There are hundreds of polywogs (tadpoles?) in the pond. They are so much fun to watch. We have a toad or two, but seldom see them.

A friend is in Hospice care and it makes our worries seem trivial. Enjoy the time you have with the people you care about. Do good works and try to bring happiness. Another friend once told us, The good die young no matter how old they are.
