I’ve enjoyed the fall colors more than ever this year.
Home from work I collapse into a chair and enjoy the view out the window. Cranking up the heating pad I got My Loving Spouse for Christmas last year. Congratulating myself on what an excellent purchase it has turned out to be, insert eye roll.
I fell in love with these burning bushes the first Fall we lived here. I’ve planted a few and love seeing them in all their glory.
We have a new (second hand) rooster. We’ve renamed him “Lucky”, as he had two options either Cluckingham Palace or the pot.
Lucky is meant to keep the hens in line. As he is hanging out with poor old Stuart (the most picked on hen in the house), it would seem he’ll be up to the job.
We’ve had more little visitors to the farm this fall, much to our delight. They’ve left us imprinted with joy. Which kids want to throw the ball for Gunner and which kids want to do so, but without getting their hands dirty. Each as been such fun and all are invited back for sledding into the pond when the snow comes.
The sun comes up as I leave for work, (it’s a PNW thing.)
Back to school/work full time for quite awhile now since the accident. I’ll be honest, I come home pooped and sore.
With a new library to settle into and books that need to be moved to ‘just the right spot’, it is easy to over do it. Today, I did my best to sit more and move less. Mostly because I was hurting and partially because I’d managed to wear 2 different shoes to work. (Seriously) I noticed when I walked in because I had a bit of a limp.
I love Fall, My Loving Spouse and those who make this time in my life better…
and I am blessed.
Love all the fall colors! Those burning bushes are stunning as is the sunrise! Glad to hear you are able to be back at work. Enjoy the books and the kids. It is a delight to share your many blessings!
Thank you, my friend!
Glad you are feeling better. It all takes time
Thanks, Doris. Indeed it does.
My daughter (your neighbour Jen) recommended your blog and I’m so grateful she did. Thoroughly enjoying it all. Hope you are back to full speed soon.
Thank you so much. Glad to have you along. If you come to visit, stop by and say ‘hi’.
I returned to the farm but this time with my husband and son on Sunday, Dec 19th. It was a very short trip due to the pass being closed the day before, however, what a true gift to see them all in person. I would love to drop by on my next visit. Happy New Year from North Vancouver, BC.
Next time, come and meet the humans too!!
I think you could start a new fashion trend…. 2 different shoes!
And that sunrise is just gorgeous!!!! Glad you are recovering from the accident…. and being kind to yourself and not pushing too much.
Thank you, dear friend.
Purdy!
Thanks, Terri
Don’t worry about wearing 2 different shoes to work, because it doesn’t always have anything to do with age. Gary reminded me that he has done that before too……but it was over 30 years ago!!
Thanks, Cousin, it happens to the best of us.
Hi Ellan,
I’ve lived here (Seattle area) all of my 68 years and still think it’s the best spot (PNW) to live in. Glad you agree.

One of your Seattle cousin.
I don’t think you can really be that old, Handy Cousin.

Different shoes? Oh, we’re getting older, Ellen.
Indeed!
