Yesterday The Farmer got brave and decided to try walking around a little outside without his walker. The first hurdle was getting down the porch steps, which he actually managed very well.
are setting at the bottom of the other set of steps. There are bags of scrap wool around them
to keep the roots protected from the cold. Got to keep these pecan trees in good health!
He wanted to see his best buddy, Toby. Now this dog is a poster critter for ADHD, and prone to jump up on The Farmer, who did NOT discourage Toby from doing so when he was a pup.
At this stage of the game, however, that would be a definite no-no. Knocking The Farmer on this backside would not be a good idea, no way, no how. We don't want to be back in the hospital getting new knees repaired!
Therefore, the game plan was for me to shut Toby out of the backyard so he and The Farmer could commune over the woven wire fence.
Here's a little video of them communing:
I don't suppose I've made a single video here that doesn't feature their racket!
I don't know who was more excited to see the other, The Farmer or Toby!

Those pecan trees probably won’t even want to be planted they are so cozy in their wool “sweaters”
Glad to see the Farmer up and moving, and it made me smile to see how happy Toby and he were to see each other! You can definitely tell it made Toby’s day!!
Glad to see Farmer out and about. Toby seems especially thrilled. Dogs are good for healing the spirit.
Goodness, I guess you get used to the guinea racket after a while and don’t even hear it. It sounds like you’re on Noah’s ark or something.
