Sunny Sunday, again

 am I complaining? No way! I'm thrilled with the sunshine. Beats a cloudy or rainy day anytime. It will be 100* before the day is out and we're under another heat advisory beginning at noon.
 Tim got a load of 4 big bales of hay yesterday. Put one in the feeder for the kids and we plan on picking up enough thru the summer to get us thru the winter but it always depends on the $ of course. He also picked up the mower at the repair shop. Yay, he'll be able to mow this morning if I get him up farely soon. The weed eater is still at the shop.
  Got my chores done. Whew! It's only 84* and I'm dripping again, lol. Spent most of my time this morning with Spike. He's decided that I'm better than just ok. He's always let me go up to him etc and catch him, halter him  but now he actually wants to be with me.

Isn't he handsome? Sometimes in the fall he begins to get this Elvis Costello look going on with his mane. Too funny but hard to get those dang burrs out. He has a heavy mane and tail. He's also got some sort of "draft" in his line. The next time Sandi is up I need to take a picture of her and her favorite....Betty Boop. Betty just loves her too. Always glad to see her.
  I never did hear back from big brother. Dang it! I left another voicemail for him last night. I'm sure he's fine but wish he'd call.

Gifts from the girls.

Time machine entry:

Great great gramma Lacey Rethford(Ira's momma) and her turkeys.

At least the second time our family has had 5 generations together.

Now, look at this fine group of folks. I think it's one of the few pictures I have that everyone is actually smiling like they mean it. 1956 must have been a good year. lol

Some days are diamonds.
