Odds and ends

The big news first:  it hasn't rained for 40 minutes.  
Oh, and today is the last day before judgement day.  Bummer. 
I wonder if those people will be happy that they are wrong ?Susan has left the farm in search of a greener pasture.  So when my mother arrived the day before yesterday she could move right on into her own habitat.  As of this morning she had herself installed on the front porch of the mobile home, cup of coffee, 40 minutes of sunshine, a smoke, a puzzle book and hummingbird feeders.  The good life as it were.  Brother Jan is coming over tonight, on his birthday.  The  cleaning fairy went into overdrive and suffered a burnout in my house.  Farm wise there is nothing happening:  too wet to hill potatoes, or to till or to plant or to weed.  So to liven things up I thought I put this photo of Tater as a young kid on the couch inhere. Later gater.
