Day 7, "Every picture has a story"
The creek that meandered through our pasture from the south and then exited on the NE was a place of FUN.  Here Helen and I are playing in the water which was just down the hill from our three-hole!  There was the spring run off which brought the creek up maybe 5 feet over night.  Then there was the mid summer flow which made for wading and looking for creatures.  And lastly there was the late summer stand still when there was no flow but still tiny puddles to dug and play in.  It provided water so that I could drown out gophers and it provided fish in the spring so that Mom could can those awful awful suckers.  The creek, it kind of defined our farm more than anything else.  It provided hours of fun and excitement and NO work, can't get much better than that!!!

Well I am over half finished with my first "no brainer" book and will finish it today.  So much for the unfinished work!  

I am really taking this approach to tennis slowly so I rode over to the courts this morning to watch the group that plays Saturday mornings in a round robin thing.  I was hoping for an invite to play next week but no such thing.  Getting in to play may be as challenging as getting fit to play!  As I rode home I thought this is almost like deer hunting.  Do not ask but wait to be invited.  I am not sure I can wait that long but will see.  Perhaps the secret is to practice in solo for some time and then when the chance comes smash them off the court.  Well maybe I am a bit of a dreamer.

No with the FP gone and most of the day ahead of me I am on to more clean up and to that book for sure.
