  • Frances = Instant Mud Puddle

    … just add water.

    Yesterday we had some of that COLORADO WIND… going strong, yes sir. And since our little wrangler bunkhouse is right next to the arena, and it’s been dry, dirt gets to blow everywhere it wants….. and since our whole entire camp is next to the arena, dirt blows there too. Seriously, trying to get anything done outside was like getting in a time machine and traveling back to the dust bowl. So I became an instant mud puddle.

    But praise God, seriously, we got some rain last night.. sure, it was a little loud as it pounded down on the tin roof right above my bunk bed in the wrangler shack, BUT it will hold all that dust down for a while.

    The old wind is still blowing insanely today… but this morning we saddled up and got er done (sorry, I can’t help the camp-speak… that’s just how we talk out here, you’ll have to get used to it!) and put up all the panels for the new corral. Wowsers. Intense. I will have pictures later. It was so windy I couldn’t walk straight. And those panels…. well, heavy. And greasy. We all look great now.

    The wind did my hair today, too. It was braided, but now, it’s.. something else. What else has the wind done… it’s blown this drizzly fog in, I can barely see 3 REA poles down the road.

    But we’re having a grand time. A 13 year old kiddo (more camptalk) named Natasha is out with us for 10 days to work. And it’s fun having her. Don’t know how much she knows about the Lord.. But she’s a spunky sweetheart. Her birthday is tomorrow! We are supposed to surprise her by acting like we are too busy to do anything, but actually we’re making her favorite food (mac and cheese) and going to see prince caspian and getting ice cream.
