SAM k tells me this daily doggie has been removed from the web i know lynn has someone in boston (? at BU? ) managing bits and pieces...in the meantime feel free to pass around my email address ( animalep@aol.com). and i will send it to your email on request. heaven forbid you should loose track of the intensely critical news of crazy acres fallen trees or happy mules...
the point to ponder.... of the day-- and this is not a definite-- but an observation i need to look into.. with the help of all you. camera people
How many ribs does a lamb have? and,, more importantly do they match left to right. problem was-- i went into t he butcher shop looking for lamb chops to keep mark happy---- and they had full racks.... so i asked the butcher if he would split them for me and re do the vac pack ( their vac packer is much better than mine....) --- and he did-- and put them back in the plastic bag already labeled with weight etc.... i was very happy... and thanked him profusely.... until........ i got home---i have no idea why i did this.... i must not have had anything else to do.... but i counted the ribs .. one side had 9 and the other 8... now if that is normal, i never heard it before... and i need to check further.....like go look at all the other full racks of lamb in their refrigerator.
i wish i still had the bag they came in with the weight.... but i don;'t....my question... did he cut off one rib for his lunch and figure "she'll never notice" ???
or... they could have been packed that way for some strange reason....
that is somewhat akin to the time i. took a gold necklace of mine to the jeweler to get a new clasp.... and he very carefully laid it on the counter and measured it-- noting the exact length on my receipt... when i commented, he said "i would be very wealthy if i took one link off every gold necklace that came in here."
did that just happen to me with lambchops? idunno.

i had to adjust the parking around the area between t tent and barn ... i know- from being in so many senior centers that the activities director often is in need of something to have on the calendar to entertain the folks... and in a few cases , i am already on the calendar for speaking.... but if they got stuck, they would be welcome to drive in and sit in the warm bus or cars and just watch both the donkey cafe and puppy hill . having offered that amusement, i had to be sure we could turn around a bus in that area-- and have unobstructed view of both sides-- simple thing for us to do yet we might entertain some otherwise bored senior people who are not able to get the explore,org cameras on their smart tv's. so i asked everyone to park north of the crooked fire hydrant.... which would also make swinging the puppy hill camera a bit easier too...

moving a mini mule to nh is, i am told, on the docket-- along with hay. if i can find someone to go with me... i only drive ( and back up the trailer)
