Dem bones Dem bones Dem dry bones

Today was town day.
Not much to say about that.
Thursday has been town day since 1990, unless something major comes up and we have to go another day.

We came home.
We had dinner, and much to Cowboy's displeasure, we're eating at home more now.
I'm really not all that sure that our groceries are safe these days either.
Every time you turn on the news or open up your computer, there's been another recall.
I don't feel like our food supply is safe anymore.
I've heard Heron talk about what goes on in a commercial kitchen.
Eating out didn't seem all that safe before this.
Now, I'm not entirely sure I trust restaurants, since you never really know where they buy their supplies.

Chickens were fed, naps were taken, TV was watched.

For the first time in I can't remember how long, Badger and I decided to take a walk down to the creek church.
It's been a long, hot summer, and we've not been walking.
Then there's Cowboy's new work schedule.
He worries about us walking, and I don't like to be gone when he goes to work.
I always like telling him good-bye.

Well, we get to the picnic pavilion at the church, and Badger goes, "Oh, sick."
I look over, and one of the picnic tables has bones scattered all over it.
Hopefully they were animal bones, and oddly they were clean bones.

So we do our sitting, she does her picture taking, and we get back home in time to see Cowboy off to work.

Badger posts the bone picture to the town Facebook page, and some lady goes, “Well, did you tell the church and clean off the table?”
I told her I most certainly wasn't going to touch those nasty bones without gloves, and no one was at the church, which is why Badger posted to the town page.
Then another one asked why it was such a big deal.
Well, I mean, it's a church, and there's bones.
It's possible someone out in our community is doing freaky things.
I'd also be cautious when letting my kids play on the playground there.
And, if it were me, I'd bleach that picnic table to an inch of its life.

Oh, besides the bones, we got to see a groundhog and a crow having supper together.
Today was a weird walking day.

After that it was just a watch TV kind of evening.

We haven't been walking a lot lately.
That little walk today has my legs and feet throbbing.
Sleeping is going to be fun tonight.
I have trouble sleeping anyway.
My legs always feel funky, and now they'll be extra funky.
