Not Much Happening...

Yesterday was quiet as you might expect for superbowl Sunday, but I still thought there might be someone come through the gate but knowone did.  Weather was cold and the ground still covered in sticky, muddy caliche!  With three dogs going out several times a day to do their "business" we had to come up with a better way to clean their feet!  We tried hanging a handtowel by the door and wiping their feet but it took forever and didn't get them that clean, so we decided to put them in the shower and rinse their feet with the handheld shower nozzle.  We put a wire gravy strainer over the drain to try to keep as much of that mud as possible from going down the drain, at least their feet were cleaner!

The game was good, we made tacos and then watched The Voice, all in all a good day.

Today is also quiet, a few went through the gate and then a couple of cars came out and said they had nothing to do in there, he also said he thought they were about 1/4 done (laying pipe I think).  Still pretty cool out but at least the mud is drying up!

I've been reading everyone's blogs and want to figure out how to put their links on my blog too.  We're still new at this of course and haven't gone through a summer but so far, we like what we're doing.  Pluses for us is that we work together so we don't have to worry about finding jobs seperately that would require us to have two cars and we can be with the dogs and take care of their needs.  I like the solitude, bird sounds, even the coyotes howing in the distance, as long as they stay in the distance! 

Milford, who works the 3rd gate on our road made us a coke can wind spinner which we really like and then today, BJ who works the 2nd gate brought us a beaded hot pad that his wife Barb made for us, so nice of all of them!  Now I have to find a hobby so I can return the favor!!!

Jim is napping and I have to figure out something for dinner so I'll let you all go for now.  Be safe!
