Collateral Damage

We had a visit from a neighborhood dog that we had not previously met this morning. Her name was “Oreo” and she came calling on our other dogs to meet and greet. Unfortunately for me, I accidentally let Cabela and Bay Bay get loose through the screen door. As I chased them down the driveway, I stumbled and fell. I scraped my left elbow on the concrete as I went down.

I recovered both of our dogs and also secured Oreo and returned all dogs to their owners. Verna dressed my wounded elbow with an oversize bandage. If you’re not squeamish, you can click on the image below to reveal the actual injured area. Click again to put the bandage back on. What a mess!

Contrails at Sundown

I took this photo last night at sundown. I like the way the clouds and the contrails have a nice yellow-orange glow. About an hour after I took the photo, we had a very heavy thunderstorm for about ten or fifteen minutes. We love this place!
