August has given us a beautiful Sunday, one with little haze. My lovely Blue Ridge Mountains are lazily brushing the sky. This section runs over into Craig and Alleghany Counties. I think we're looking at Bald Mountain or Caldwell Mountain, but I am not certain. I am not very good at reading topography maps.
My latest assignment for the newspaper was about genealogy and history. I interviewed a woman who does this as a business. She likes the stories people tell. Everybody has a story; I know that. The interview was nice. We belong to the same book club so we are acquaintances.
The planning commission meets tomorrow night; I always cover that. And Wednesday night the Troutville council is in session. I get to cover that, too.
The bull is out walking in the field again. He hurt his leg and we had to keep him in the barn for several days. The swelling has lessened so we're crossing our fingers. If he can't mount he is no use to us and we will have to sell him. He has given us very nice cows in the last several years and he is in his prime. We want to keep him if we can.
I take it the bull is the resident polygamist?
