The light changes in fall and the skies are beautiful. There are no pictures of the glorious sunrises, as I enjoy them from the upstairs shower window as I get ready for the day.
Farm fresh eggs from our hens who look exactly the same. The eggs are rarely this oddly different, but don’t you wish you were a fly on the wall in the hen house when the discussion turns to how hard it is to lay an egg? (Although most flies in the hen house end up caught in a spider web, so I don’t advise it.)
My brother and his wife sent us a carton of deluxe nuts, (always nice to be thought of). I’m just wondering if they were thinking, “Well, you are what you eat.”
My summer ‘job’ is splitting wood. This pile measures about 3 cords. I’d left it out for the wind to blow through it and help it dry out. Moving the wood after I got hurt was a worry. Number Four Son has been asking, “Do you need help?” and I finally said, ‘Yes”.
Number Four with some help from his sweet wife had the 3 cords, (which by the way is hundreds of pieces of wood) stored in the woodshed within the week. I am so grateful for their willing help.
A few little friends came by the farm.
They came for the pumpkins, but they were much more interested in the poop. Yes, I said poop.
The little ones watched my buddy Beau poop in the field, much to their delight. Especially interested was the youngest who is learning what to do with his poop. I then pointed out the cow poop to the kids who thought it was the funniest thing they’d ever seen. This encouragement was all I needed. We quickly went on a farm poop hunt. I pointed out all the different poop we found.
Chicken poop, duck poop and all of the rest. The 3 & 4 year old were delighted and honestly so was I. I don’t last long on my feet right now and I can’t tell you how much fun I had.
My largest and my weirdest pumpkins are set for THE Grands in Spokane.
Life in this healing phase, emotionally takes a toll, but clearly I am blessed.
It is good to see that your humor is still in tact! I love the joy it brings to my day. Hearing that you are looking outside from the upstairs. Window lets me know you are moving, and even a picture of you inspecting poop brings me joy. Thanks for brightening my day.
I am watching the Dodgers win the wild card game and remembering back to our Dodger game days in the nose bleed section sucking peanuts! I love you with all my heart. We are blessed. Sisters!
..and I am blessed indeed. Such fun Dodger games, when I wanted to go, I could always talk you into going with me. Love you!
