Lily is walking on new shoes.
CB and Lefty's hoof trimmings allowed Foster and Bridie some new delectables to chew on.
It was a productive day for horses and dogs when Steve, the farrier, came yesterday.
Steve and I visited while he took care of each horse's hooves.
That was the morning.
Later in the afternoon, Pam and I enjoyed a good visit in the travel trailer.
And, to top off the day, we went to MickDuff's for dinner.
I'd say a good day was had by all.
Today Pam will do some more visiting and then she'll go on her way to get together with other friends in the area.
We have thoroughly enjoyed having her.
It's always fun to do catch-up with friends we don't see very often. Plus, their life style and the things that make their lives interesting offer wonderful new perspectives and maybe some new ideas for our own future adventures.
Not a whole lot else on the agenda.
We're not huge soccer fans like our kids (who played soccer) happen to be, but we'll probably be checking in on some World Cup games.
I think Annie and her friends will be attending one of the matches in Vancouver soon.
Life is good.
The cool weather has slowed down the grass, so no big need to get on a lawnmower again for a day or two.
I have, however, noticed that a generous new crop of weeds await some attention in the garden spots!
So, that's about it for this Thursday. Enjoy the photos.
"Will we ever get over this?" Pam asked yesterday after a nose taping for old time's sake.
"I don't think so," I responded, "because it's always so damn funny."
If you're part of a group and it gets boring, get out the scotch tape and go to work on your nose.
Definitely an icebreaker!
I brought CB out to meet Pam yesterday, and, of course, he left a pile of horse apples in the lawn.

Tariq:
This is the biggest World Cup in history on a number of fronts. For the
first time, we will have three host nations.
The tournament also
features more teams than ever before, having expanded from the 32 teams
organizers settled upon in 1998, to 48.
That
means 72 games will be played in the group stage alone, which is more
than the entirety of the last tournament.
The expansion has given us the
risk of lopsided games and the potential for the tournament to drag,
but it has also given opportunity to first-time qualifiers like Cape
Verde, Uzbekistan, Jordan and Curaçao — a Caribbean island nation with a
population of around 160,000, just under twice the capacity of the
Mexico City stadium where the tournament kicks off.
After
that marathon group stage, the top 32 teams move onto the knockout
rounds, which follow the model of a classic tournament bracket, and
that’s where the drama will peak: a kill or be killed situation in every
game, where the winner makes it through to the next stage until there
will be only two left standing at the final.

Thanks to a locked gate, we no longer get to see this exquisite mountain beauty, which we and other members of the public enjoyed for years.
Glad I took pictures.
