The water came back at 10:10pm last night. Grrrrrrrrrr This was after I had watched the new movie Black Adam (only 2 Stars) followed by the new Elvis movie which passes the test, although I sure didn't like Tom Hanks awful accent for his role as Col. Tom Parker who was of Dutch descent. I actually looked up an interview with the Col. and Hanks overdoes it way too much! And the girl chosen to play Priscilla couldn't hold a candle to Priscilla's natural beauty. But the story is mostly true (and they sure skipped a lot of important details), and apparently got a thumbs up from both Priscilla and Lisa Marie.
The walk this morning was unusual in that we came across both fillies, together near the one's pasture, with no mares or stallions about.... Very strange indeed. After another evening rain last night, things were a little wet and I had to walk off a kink in my right hip. I didn't notice the sky so it must have been the usual dark panel.
So I got up later than normal at 8:30am only to find that we were once again without water for the whole day. Who knows when it will reappear. A person would think that the water company would have worked out a solution by now, but no-o-o-o-o-o-o..... We rely on water and electricity (and internet) for so many things.
Cristina made me enough spaghetti and meat sauce (2 lbs of beef) for lunch for both today and tomorrow, then off she went to spend the day with Adiela again.
Rio is slowly learning to behave herself and she spends most of her time tustling with little Manchas who doesn't back down from anything. We are trying to solve a diarrhea problem for the little guy. Who knew such little pups could be so prolific in the poop department. I hope he gets adopted soon and we can be puppyless for a while.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. The uploads are real swift now.
That was the day’s excitement.
