Lost Found Lost Again

Found my pictures, but can't get them to the blog. Oh well. At least I know they are there just waiting for a genius to show me how to get them back.
Yesterday was a great day. It started with a breakfast at the Eagle's. What a wonderful breakfast and really good company. Thank you Harley, Loren, Spencer and Bill and Chico Eagles Aerie 215.
The Eagles have been helping folks since 1898. Here are some of the charities they help support- the Art Ehrman Cancer Fund, the City of Hope, a Scholarship Fund, the Jimmy Durante Children's Fund, the Max Baer Heart Fund and many more, plus local charities- Home At Last included.
We met many new friends and will be glad to have some new volunteers.
After breakfast (and banking and shopping) I returned home to find volunteer Emily working on horses. Then Tina, Leah and Carly showed up and the stalls were cleaned. Thanks, everyone.
Next Sunday is our Board meeting. We have several new members joining us.
It's been hot and I'm ready for Fall and cool weather and even rain and mud.
Our barn residents have been getting lots of extra food, but I'm really worried about them. Friday Dr. Darling will be here to help us evaluate them. Tucker's bowed tendon is really bothering him. He's down quite a bit and lets us know he is hurting. We will evaluate him, too. This is the part that we find so hard in having a sanctuary. We love them so much, but must do what is the best for them. Quality of life is our promise to them.
Question. When a bean is planted is there a predestined number of little beans it will have or does the number depend on soil, water, etc?
Our beans seem to be very prolific as do the tomatoes and zucchini. The cucumbers gave it their all, then just quit.
Our chicken coup is covered with morning glories. It is not only pretty, but keeps the coop a whole lot cooler.
The tadpoles have changed into frogs and their are little hopppers all over the place.
Jim has been getting really good at FaceBokk and I want him to do some blogs, too. He's a very clever fellow. maybe he can figure out how to get the pictures here.
Thanks to all who have been so supportive.
