It’s been a relatively quiet 2 weeks since my last post. Not that we have not been busy, but it has been “normal” stuff like planting flowers, getting the swamp cooler ready for summer, changing oil in the cars, and sealing the privacy fence.
Highlight has been the purchase of a new Toro lawn mower. We have never had a new mower; all of ours have been $25.00 specials that I’ve kept running. The latest one started having major problems, with wheels falling off, frozen throttle cable, and other issues. Pam has been after me to replace it for a year, so I guess it was finally time. The Toro is nothing fancy, not even self-propelled, but our yard is quite small and the Toro seems to be just right for us.
Nothing new on the Land Hunt. Given my upcoming trip to Ohio and Wisconsin (I leave on the afternoon of the 23rd) we will be on hold for the next few weeks.
The kittens are doing very well. Click on the photo below to see a 1-minute clip of the kittens playing in their room. The soundtrack isn’t too great, but then I may have to figure out how to work with audio tracks! The ‘meowing” you hear in the background is Momcat Precious ‘talking’ to her kittens.

This is the first post composed on my “new” MacPro computer. I’ve not completed the move of all files from my old Mac to this one, but the major work has been done. I must say the MacPro is quite a bit faster than my old G4, and there are enough changes in software (new versions) to make life interesting.
I was out yesterday riding my ATV on Wild Horse Mesa, and saw 7 horses. One was a group of three, the other a group of 3 adults and a colt.
Wild Horses with colt
It is always good to see them.
This next photo is for Mikey; he gave us some Iris plants (some of them originally transplanted from Old Vic in Whitewater). After a few years of so-so performance, Pam planted them last year into their current spot, and this year the Iris took off. The photo does not really do them justice.

My next post will be delayed until after I return from Wisconsin, which will be the first week in June. Have a good Memorial Day.
Thats if for now. Thanks for looking in!
the girls LOVED the kitten video! thanks for sharing! looks like you are raising a happy and healthy brood! 🙂
congrats on the new computer and lawn mower–very fun…well, more the computer…though i find mowing lawn satisfying
flowers really are beautiful!
have a safe and wonderful trip!!
Kitten cuteness! Wow are they busy, busy, busy… maybe a cat for me sometime, but not a kitten. Too active.
Another nice pic of the horses. I really love that one of the mountains, but have no where to put it – unless I made it black and white and then I think it would lose its wonderfulness!
Jer – you don’t remember being “artsy” in Boulder? I’ll give you a hint. You were taking pics of me and Dee Dee I think, and I said, “do something artsy!” Do you remember what you did?
