~What Is It?~

I watched the guy across the street cut that huge lot. It

took him ALL day. He had his headphones on and was not

going fast at all, just taking his time. Not at all like Carl's

wife, she MOVED ! I was amazed at how fast she ran her

mower.. If you look behind in the field you will see some

posts out there...from the edge of the house are 2 then

to the right a tad are 2, and then 2 more on the end..

I watched as they put those posts in the other day and
I thought strange..what were they for.. perhaps a game.

When they finished that day I had NO idea what they

were. When the guy mowing there finished he went out

to those posts at the end by the house dragging this

dark thing with him and a ladder, can you guess what it is?
Well he put the ladder up to one side, pulling up this

black thing, and kinda hooked it on the bar that connected

the two posts.. they look like goal posts for a football

field. but 6? Football field doesn't have in the middle..So

I kept watching.. thru my binoculars..of course.. I HAD to

see what this thing WAS! He dragged this black up to

the top bar and as it draped down I saw it was a NET !..

I thought some kind of game field. soccer or something.
Donnie in his truck..

The man continued to the middle posts, first one side

then to the other hooking this net up.. He made it to the

end and I could see all the sides and top were netted. I

bet THAT net cost a fortune... So I finally decided that

it was a thing for practicing batting a baseball.. ok Hitting

one.. Donnie came over yesterday afternoon after church

and I pointed it out to him.. As he was looking a little boy

got under the net with a baseball and bat and we knew

then that was what it was for.. There are a lot of kids

around here so that will keep them busy all summer. The

guy did a good job building that.. Did ya guess right? :-)
Just after he finished his batting cage I heard the familiar

sound of "clip-clop-clip-clop" I saw this gorgeous black horse

come trotting down the street out front pulling that orange

wagon with 4 people in it.. They were Amish of course and all

smiles enjoying a nice ride.. The street that they're on goes

out into the country .. I would like to just ride around and

see all that's around here. Ive not been up this way before.

When David and I came up here to fish we were down by

the damn in Mottville...Eventually we probly would have made

it up this way there are so many lakes around here..

I saw the black kittie today I was glad.. I am sad however,

Penny is still sick. I called her this morning and she did not

sound well at all.. I hope she gets better. Chris will be here

with my lunch and I will ask her to get my mail. Donnie took

my garbage home with him and I'm glad he did now. Those

stinkin black ants are everywhere if you don't keep it covered.

Ive decided to just sit back and not do anything about any

thing for a while.. My stress factor has reached its limit. I

finally slept last nite after I decided this.. If these problems

want to persist.. they can come to me.. The grant stuff, well

I don't feel I got a very good warning on that and I have

decided to ignore it for the time being..when it hits full tilt,

THEN I will deal with it.. one way or the other.. If push comes

to shove I will talk to Joe... That's my solution solver I think,

as far as the grant business goes. I had a nice weekend.. Saw

my sis, my boy, got to talk to some dear friends.. Hey, cant

get any better than that ... AHHHH life really IS good.. This

GORGEOUS WEEBLE says so- oh and "Happy Monday!"...:-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!!!
Always, Lois ****

Ps.. The phantoms have almost stopped !!! :-)
