It seems like every few months or so I just have a week that yanks me away from social media almost ENTIRELY.
This was that week apparently. Woke up with a flat tire last Friday morning.. canceled my appointments for the day and waited for Will to get home. Brought the tire to the gas station to air-test it and it poured air out of the valve stem. A trip to Tire Kingdom, no money spent, and one of their lovely employees actually screwed the center of the valve stem back in and we were on our way with a repaired tire.
I should've known it was too good to be true. 🥹 Cue heading to St.Augustine yesterday for Will's little brothers birthday celebration.. and the tire goes flat at 70 MPH on I-295. Thank GOD a friend picked us up and got us to the Goodyear down the road. A brand new tire, put on the car on the side of the roaring interstate, and we were on our way.. again.
Lesson learned about cheap fixes.
And, after a lovely day, we arrived home late last night and let a few rather excited, really-having-to-potty pups outside... where we learn another lesson. That they really shouldn't be let out of our sights, actually ever. Poor Bandit ripped an entire nail clean off, somehow, in the yard.. came back in bleeding, and got held (and kissed.. a lot) with quick-stop and a bandage on his exposed quick until he finally stopped bleeding. 😭
I may not be posting consistently still for a bit. Between the kitties, goats, grooming and farm care, and now a 6-8 week recovery for our little loaf, I may be even MORE scatter brained than I have been lately. Which is saying something. 🥲
Enjoy some sky pictures from St.Augustine!
