This 'n That

 Some days there just isn't much to say, and this is one of those days.  


The twin fawns have spent lots of time in our backyard lately. It's a good spot to nap evidently - quiet and safe.  That ocean of green was mostly brown and brittle a week ago, but last week's rain made a lot of difference.  We have a sprinkler system, but it doesn't cover that far back.  And we have watering restrictions (due to the drought) of watering only on odd days.


It's rodeo week here in Mitchell and I had mentioned the night before that I was planning to go downtown to watch the parade on Saturday morning.  And much to my surprise my husband decided to come along.  Lots of horses, lots of local organizations, lots of candy thrown to the kids lining the street - a very typical parade.  I've only been to ONE actual rodeo event - years ago - but spectators and participants alike must be happy this year because the weather has been perfect for it. No scorching heat for a change.  

The rest of the day was pretty quiet, which was good.  We stopped for a quick visit with friends who moved from their house to a smaller townhouse and took them some dessert and a bottle of wine to celebrate their new home.  And we went to Menards to buy a bird bath and some shelving for the basement store room.

But hopefully today I'll actually get some sewing done.

Isn't it great to have parades and festivals back? Now, if everyone would get vaccinated we could proceed without worrying about more shutdowns. Hope you get some rain. We're still very dry but not as bad as a month ago.
