• Happier things

  Ian had the town of Vernon dump some dirt from cleaning out the ditches into a low spot across from our house.  Then, before they took the gradeall back to the town barn he had them scrape the dirt into the hole and the mud off the road.

  

  I like to watch Ian being “official”.  He was doing his duty of directing any traffic that came down the road while the other men ran the gradeall.

  

  He has an official orange vest and flag.

  

  Fortunately there wasn’t that much traffic that morning.  The men didn’t mind having me take their pictures either.  Later this spring they will be back to clean out all of the ditches on our road so I will get to watch to my heart’s delight and take more pictures.

  

  The people that Doug works for raise Golden Retriever puppies for sale.  On a recent visit I got to play with the latest batch of pups before they got sold.

  

  It’s fun to watch them tumble around with each other, chewing on tales and ears.  They seem to need to come back to the humans periodically to get some loving from us too.
