My first picture today is of the old abandoned railway station in Hartford City where I live. I promised Luisa that I would post a shot of it. I should have waited until a bit later when the sun was lower to take the shot so this is just a tempter, I will get another photo of it without all the shadows. Not a terribly exciting building, but they are busy removing all the track at the moment as this line has not been used in years (wish I could say that about the one next to us which is very busy 24 hours a day)

I rode again yesterday and Cayenne is doing really well but we are in a bit of a heatwave at the moment and it makes it very uncomfortable to be doing anything strenuous outside. Today I taught Wiggle how to load into the trailer and she did very well too. So now I have Cayenne and Wiggle loading into the two horse trailer!!! Maybe I will get my trail riding in yet!

I visited Lisa for a bit yesterday afternoon, we did a bit of shopping and then I sat in her cool back yard and enjoyed the cool breeze in the shade and the squirrels!! Here are a few of the shots from yesterday, I havent had time to edit them all yet.

In the first pic this little guy is spreadeagled out on top of the squirrel feeding box while there is another one inside. They won't share the box so they each have to wait their turn.

This is the one that I was standing on Lisa's dining rom table chair to shoot through the window!!
This little guy hung around and made one attempt to come pretty close but lost his nerve and was hanging around the base of the tree. They will get used to us being there and I need to get some peanuts (uncooked ones), which will help lure them and get them used to posing for the camera!

Abe I know you are boiling with us, try to keep cool. That's it for today, hope you are all well and staying cool or warm whichever is preferable for you at the moment LOL ((((Hugs)))))

Playing Catch-up

Thanks all for your comments on my travels ... I will be doing more ... just having a bit of a tough time at the moment and finding it hard to focus and get my enthusiasm going.

The pictures today I took on Sunday. We were supposedly going to have a sunny afternoon and it has been misty, miserable, wet and murky for more days than I care to remember at the moment. This is a shot of our Court House (I changed the sky because the actual sky was grey). I will have to go back and do it again when the light is better but I was quite pleased with the outcome. I took pics of all the memorials which are on all four corners of the block.
I have also been wanting to take pictures of the elk since seeing them a few weeks ago, especially the white ones and again despite the dull misty weather came up with a few pics but will be going back for sure when it brightens up.
These two guys were behind a rise so this was all I could get of them but they looked great, they were chewing on the tree.

That is about it again. We had a long day, had to go through to Fort Wayne for a doctor's appointment for Larry, so that was pretty much the whole day out the window. It is rediculously warm in the upper 50s and tomorrow expecting 30s and below again so everything is a muddy mushy mess and I am stressing. It has been raining on and off all day and all last night, just so depressing.

Hope everyone is well. ((((Hugs)))) thanks for your visits, I hope to be back in the swing soon and will tell you more of my adventures.
