We live on a dead end road, which our dog loves to watch people walk by. Lately, people in cars see her and stop to pick her up. I've even watched them do it. She loves this, meeting new friends. But it is getting to be rather frequent lately as I've been putting in more hours on the splitter. She is with me, then she gets board with that and sits by the road. Sometimes I hear the phone and I tell them I can see them, just open the door and let her out. Sometimes they drive down the drive and walk her towards the splitter engine noise. So, Saturday I cleared a path as our son ran a tracked trencher about 500 feet up the road, and 500 feet back, then another to the 300 feet to the wood shed.. Been trying real hard today to keep the purple primer out of my beard. Hope to be done tomorrow, and back to splitting wood.
