Good Evening Everyone! Hot here in FLA. NO rain so ground starting to dry out [no wet spots in drive and lots of other areas just squishy now]. Rusty doesn't like it real squishy because 1] he has a tendency to sink in, and 2] his wallows generally have standing water when it is real squish. The wallow by the maple tree is only damp. The wallow in the barn [because he digs it out it fills with water] doesn't have standing water, but the wallow stall is squishy between the toes [Wellington knows what I mean]. I have started some bread. And thinking about what I'll make for supper.

lludwig Glad to hear you have good water again.

FALL even though it was 92 or so, the humidity was around 45, so that is the start of Fall for us.

Have started doing my homework help at the migrant center. Won't be officially tutoring until October [for money]. "What letter is this?" She didn't know. We did something else and I went back to it. She guessed 'd'. I wrote the first part of the alphabet for her. It was 'b'. And, yes, she flips most everything but I don't think it is dyslexia [there is a retired teacher expert there who doesn't think so either] just a lack of exposure to writing numbers and letters. The girl is in first grade. And we've mostly been working on unflipping her numbers which are getting better.

Birds I saw something white at the far end of his pasture. Thought it might be a plastic bag [you don't want them around cattle or horses, though less of a problem for bovines than equines]. It was one of his cattle egrets. Dead. Head/neck twisted funny, but it wasn't worked at by a hawk or owl. No high wires. I don't know how those die 'naturally'. Mildly wonder if it tried to take on a mocassin or rattlesnake.

Off to fix supper.
