Back from NH. Had a nice visit although the drive up and down both took an hour longer than usual. Visited the pigs, who have grown, although one is riddled with arthritis in the legs and has undergone several rounds of antibiotics. Apparently it is a common pig problem. (conditions? overbreeding?) He is half the size of the other one. But he actually was better today than yesterday and as my step father says, he had some giddy in his yup.
I found a clump of birds foot trefoil growing in my moms wasteland of a yard and she told me I could have it. It's a brilliant yellow plant from the pea family. So pretty. We used to have it in the grass at the cemetery but it's died out due to mowing I think. I see it often in vacant
lots.
Himself had a great time when Papa let him shoot the pellet gun. He blew numerous holes in the coke cans. Best time he's had up there in years. Guns and boys... well, it gets him out of the house anyway.
I slept a lot, but not well. Their bed makes me appreciate my bed. It would be fine for one, but with the two of us on it, we both sink into the middle. I end up sleeping on the edge of the bed, the only fairly flat spot. I should just sleep on the floor. Himself was on the blow up mattress. He wants me to set that up in his room for him to sleep on. NO! You have a bed.
Speaking of bed... gnight.
