Grammys Corgi Country

Hubby and I took another drive today with O.C. and B.G. Dott is going to be “indisposed” for about two weeks, and can’t go in the truck or car right now. She was NOT a happy camper!

We went back out into the hills around the same area we were in last week, and since I got a new digital camera for Christmas, I took a lot of pictures.

We went a lot further up into the hills this time, with me white-knuckling the dash as I gazed out the window and straight DOWN several hundred feet into some very deep ravines. My leg was about worn out pushing on a non-existent brake pedal as we came down those steep switch-back dirt roads. One place was so steep coming down, that O.C. slid off the front of the truck seat!

It WAS very pretty up on top of the hills with the views that were available since the air was very clear. Some places were still a bit misty, but by the afternoon, most of the fog had cleared off, so it was beautiful.

On the way back down, we stopped by that little valley from last week again, and let the Corgis out so that they could run around for about 30 minutes.

I’d mentioned in a couple of my blogs that we are in oil country, so, since we drove through one of the many oilfields to get into the back hill country, I also took some pics of them.

It just so happened… Hmmm… that we “found” a few mud holes to run through, too, so Hubby was able to come home with muddy wheels. It is nice having him home so much more this past couple of weeks with so many paid holidays and just using a couple of vacation days.

Oh, and we also got another waterline break about 4 days ago, but we got it fixed today because it was so close to the surface and the blowout sort of dug it out itself. This is about the shortest time it has ever taken to do that, Praise God!!! We didn’t even have to haul in extra water for the horses because they had enough to last that long in their water barrels.

I hope your first few days of this New Year have been as nice as mine. Keep looking for the bright side…
