Good evening everybody. I have been busy helping with clearing and cutting wood and.....JUNIPER (ugh!).... off the property, not enough energy at the end of the day to post much. But things are well.....temps are cool here....and God is good.

The other day when pulling juniper (ugh!) I was pulling hard and as it sometimes does, it released all of a sudden and I went over backward.

Of course I was standing on a slope which made it worse and while I was tumbling head-over-apple-cart all I could think of was you, John and think to myself. “I hope there isn’t a sharp stump that I’ll land on”. Luckily, I rolled with the fall and no harm was done.

We are finished with the juniper (ugh!) though. Mr. Prairie rented a Bobcat and that has made ALL the difference. Now we are working on falling dead trees and limbs. We won’t finish this year but we made a heckuva dent in it.

Yay! Best not to bust internal organs in a slip-fall.

Funny you mention that. Kiddo (64) across the street said my recounting of the tale was nightmare material. I never saw it as that.

Waking up with a Navajo woman in charge didn't change my opinion, until I said yatahe... And then she explained me how I would live.

Not much different from what I was raised with... Be good, be right. be strong.

It could have been worse, I could have woke up speaking russian. spacebo, tovarich.... etc....
