Reznjun

did a wedding this morning. it was at nine, before it got hot. it went well.i enjoyed meeting the bride and grooms’ family. they were all good people, we had a late breakfast after the ceremony.  it was held in a natural prairie. the landowner told me it hasnt ever been plowed. it had all the native grasses and flowers. that was neat. it was located just off where the old railroad ran thru. that was before my time. someone spotted an eagle flying overhead. i missed seeing it but thats good mojo.

i went to town afterward and bought two 55 gallon barrels to catch rain water in. i have been wanting to do that for awhile. i put one in the back seat and one semi fit in the trunk. had to tie the trunk down cuz it wouldnt shut all the way. i hoped no cop would be sweating me over that. made it home without any hassle. i had to cut the gutter downspout with a hacksaw. then fixed it so runoff will fill the barrel. i am ready for the next rain. that may be awhile.

i noticed the temperature gauge on my dashboard read 102 degrees in the afternoon. it is not totally accurate but close. the tv dude said it was over 100 today. gonna be hot like that for awhile. i am making sure my chickens and dogs have plenty of water. they have shade to hang out in.

i waited til almost sundown to walk. it was still in the high 80s but i walked anyway. cant make excuses. i walked 6 miles so far this week. i check on the beavers under the bridge where i walk. they usually are in the water chewing on small branches. i can hear them chewing. its kinda neat to watch them. tonight there was a young buck  there also. it stood and watched me for awhile before it darted off.

i cleaned a turtle when i got home. i have eaten them most of my life. i like the taste of them. someone will bring them to me cuz they know i will clean them. i will take a big one i had in the freezer to a ceremony tomorrow night. a coupla of the older guys sure like them too. i promised them i would bring one.

got ceremonies for the next 5 days. that should keep me  busy. at least i get to visit with the homefolks during breaks. will catch up on whats happening around the rez.
