Sunday June 1 starts a new month
The sun is very intense this morning. I got the well water on the third part of the cycle for the yard. The weather has been so dry, the grass is turning brown around the ends. Mom is making Sunday morning breakfast which will involve a little bit of bacon. I used an older picture of the shuttle launch, because the one I tried to record did not turn out good. The sun added a soft light to the intense fire of the rocket engines from the shuttle. The light from the shuttle seem to grow the higher the shuttle flew. The launch was like clock work. The shuttle left on time, climbing higher and separating it's solid rocket. I couldn't belief how fast the television said the shuttle was traveling. It just didn't seem real. This seemed like the ultimate roller coaster ride. My sister missed the launch, but she did hear about it later. Today is the last day she works this weekend so she can recover from her stiff muscles the rest of the week.Mom and I get into a routine of things to do the rest of the week. However, I like looking to see what people out of this world are doing.

Strange but true. When I lived in Arizona and during the dry season the grass would just burn up. There was a company that would come around with a commercial power sprayer and spray paint the grass green. It actually looked pretty good. How is your sister handling the heat? It must be quite hot in the barns. I was on a farm in Pennsylvania one summer for a couple of weeks a long time ago. One of my jobs was feeding the ponies. As I approached the wooden rail fence with a bale of hay, the ponies would come over to the fence near me. I had to get the bale of hay over the fence into the pasture. I was using a hay hook. As I was getting the bale over the wooden fence, the hay hook suddenly came loose and hit the closest pony right in the nose. As I understand the nose is suppose to be tender. Well, it must have been because that pony hated me all the time that I was there and would take every opportunity to bite me. He would actually chase me out of the pasture. I felt bad about the incident but it was an accident. I also had to clean the stalls completely and then some lime was put down. It was tough. Those people don't know about clocks. Up before dawn. That's right, pitch dark outside. Even the birds weren't up. I figured that only humans were foolish enough to get up at that hour. And quit at 3:30 pm? No way, worked until there wasn't any light left outside. I was glad to leave. Fortunately, being in Pennsylvania it didn't get that hot. Gotta go. Take care and stay cool and dry. Lew
