Eye Exams

Early Tuesday morning we finally had some rain at the farm. It was light rain and lasted till about 9:30 AM. I checked the rain gauge and there was a little under one half inch. Shortly before lunch, Linda and I rode down to the mum patch and checked them out. I dug one and didn't dig anymore as the ground was still too dry. The dirt was loose and fell from the roots when I lifted the plant off the shovel and placed it in the plastic pot. The little bit of rain will help them grow and bloom out, but more is still needed before I dig a lot of plants. I mowed the front yard and the barn lot since the rain had settled the dust.
Wednesday morning, Linda had scheduled eye exams for Stacey and her, so I drove them to Albany and we went inside the office. Linda sent me in with Stacey to see how she did because Linda was having an exam too. They checked Stacey and things went fairly well. It took about an hour and we were setting out in the waiting area until Linda finished. She came out, and they went and picked out frames, then we waited about 20 minutes and Stacey and Linda were called back inside to have their eyes dilated They put the drops in their eyes and we went back to the waiting room for about a half hour. They took them into the examination room and it took another half hour. Finally we paid, and left. It was after noon, that had taken over 3 hours. Linda and Stacey were wearing the dark glasses when we went into Burger King. They pulled those out of their regular glasses once inside. After eating, we returned to the farm and Linda's eyes were acting funny so she stayed inside. Later in the afternoon, I mowed while Linda was trimming and taking Daisy for a run.
