Couponing #77

Just a small any day deal.  I really don’t need more soap, but everyone in my Facebook Dollar General groups keeps  posting about it.  That has worn me down and I don’t want to miss the deal now, so here goes. 

Two big bottles of  Suave body wash, have the 3 digital coupons clipped and head to the self checkout.  It will not work at a regular register.
 

Apparently, the self checkout can’t decide which coupon to take, so it takes all three.  75 cents, saving $6.00.  Not free, but now I can rest easy that I got the deal.

The Shoe

When I was riding Otoelene today, I saw a shoe beside the road.

This was about a mile up the gravel road.  Usually, there is just normal trash, beer cans, fast food wrappers, pop bottles. 

A shoe was something different.  So many questions.  Where was the other one? Why no laces?  Was it lost or thrown out on purpose?  It will remain a mystery.

Calendar Worthy

I have managed to figure out how to transfer pictures from the camera to my iPad.  Emily’s old camera has WiFi capabilities and I finally took the time to work with it today.  Here are a few pictures I took a couple of weeks ago.

Sadie is so happy to check on the animals.

She is very interested in making sure they all have food and water.

Now I just need a photo contest to enter.  With such a good subject, it would be hard picking the best.

I am so happy that I can start using the camera again instead of trying to deal with my phone.  For me, the camera is much easier and convenient.   But I am still on the hunt for a desktop computer.  Blogging from the iPad isn’t getting any easier either.
 

In Bloom At The 4Rs

Even though we have had plenty of rain, I just don’t have a lot blooming right now.  I really need to bump up my late summer and fall flowers. 

I do the these blue salvia that I enjoy every time I come and go.

And I planted a few impatience in my mineral feeder planter. 

The Russian sage that I transplanted last year is doing well in its sunnier location.

 And a couple off dahlias that I meant to dig up last fall but didn’t, managed to make it through the winter and are blooming pretty.   Maybe some more dahlias would be a good idea for next year. 

Solo Ride

Sadie loves to make animal sounds and name everything she knows.  And one thing she knows really well is “horse”.  So today, when she was here and said “horse”, I took her to the barn and caught Otoelene.  I had already ridden once this morning for a couple of hours going up to the end of the gravel road.  I think Otoelene was a little confused that she was going out again. 

But she took it all in stride.

Sadie is very good at petting the animals.

I showed her how to hold onto the horn, and off we went.

Since I was by myself with Sadie, she had to ride solo.  She did a great job.  I think she is a natural.

After a couple of laps by herself, I got on and we went for a little ride down the driveway.  We worked on saying a full sentence, “Meme, ride the horse.”  I might be creating a lot more work, but it is all good.

Bad For Sale Pictures

Male goat for sale on Craig’s List.

Joe asked if they took the pictures from the hayloft.

And just in case you needed an ever so slightly different angle to help you make the decision to spend $150.
 

When Did That Happen

Apparently, I don’t look up very often.  But I did a couple of days ago and saw….

this monstrosity.

It’s a gigantic hornet nest at the highest part of the house.

Now I have to figure out how to kill them, get the nest down, and clean the siding.   Not much extra work.
