Greatness

Only about fifty this morning. Yesterday it thundered all day, power out for about three hours. Plumber came out, put in a new sink for the downstairs bathroom, and fixed the leaking standpipe outside.

AJ slept upstairs last night.

The neighbor lady walked by (no bike today) around 6:30 as usual. Her bird dog with her. Jack lost his mind as always. The pointer basically ignores him. I called him, put him in the trailer while I fed the chickens. He will come when I call him, but it takes effort, particularly when there's a distraction, like other people, or a German shorthair trotting down the road.

Geese lately. Hear them moving around down at the alfalfa field. Not this morning, though.

Greatness is hardly ever recognized in its time. Seth said, "There are great men and women who go unknown. Their contemporaries ignore them." What I know to be so didn't come from books, the books only corroborated what I already knew, or sensed.
