Despicable little rodents.

Had to leave and left the little one for later. Walking out to let horses out and there were 2 little ones running up the tree. So those two can wait until tomorrow.
Just back from the hospital and my mom is stabilized and I fed her and she ate well. She doesn’t know who I am but that will come later. Thanks for the prayers folks. It helped. Headed to bed.. been up since yesterday afternoon and it’s way past sleep time. Goodnight. Tim

Food has been done a while, all put away. Wife will be pleased; no cooking on her first day of vacation.
I had a shower.
Pouring a bourbon and loading my pipe to enjoy the last of the coals and the breeze before hitting the sack.

Rest well everyone!
