femkes_folliesWe'd gotten some sweet corn at the farmer's market. It was kind of meh. Ok, well, Uncle Jimmy would have fed it to the cows. John, however, used Tom Colicio's recipe for Creamless Cream Corn - which was tres yummy.
Rori got her first dip in Lake Michigan last night. She loved it. In fact, screamed and cried for 20 minutes when we pulled her out. For all that her teeth were chattering and her lips were blue. At which point, we went and traded our day pass for the state park for an annual. Now to figure out what other parks we should visit this year. Maybe Hartwick Pines.
Anneliese is done with summer school, so John has both girls at home. At least they're being pretty good today. I just put Rori to bed - which was a moment of unalloyed cuteness. She immediately assumed Toddler Sleep Position Alpha (on tummy, butt in the air, legs tucked up), cuddling her stuffed pigment and the fuzzy blanket that Auntie Lisa gave her.
Today was a bit trying at times. I had to put my boss's horse down, which I was willing to do. But (brilliant hack that I am) I decided to start with some xylazine to keep her quiet. And, wouldn't you know it, this horse turned out to be one of those rare creatures who has the opposite reaction. She went right over backwards, feet flying everywhere and seized. Leslie commented that she had no idea I could move that fast. So, thrill over, we managed to do what needed doing. But I now remember WHY I chose to leave large animal medicine to the young and nimble. Blerg.
Have to work tomorrow - then we'll see if I can get anything accomplished afterwards.
