Sunny Afternoon!
Good Afternoon! Yes it is a sunny dry day in our little 2 + acres of the world. The bird houses have been emptied, the bushes and vines around the base of the trees out back have been cleared away. If fact I drove the pick up out there and filled 2/3 of the bed with cuttings to empty out back by the shed. I lack clearing the base of one tree that is closer to the dome but that will be done within the next couple of days. All the furniture has been moved off the deck and stored for the winter. The two large plants and the rose bush were moved inside with the help of a flat dolly for moving heavy things.
This morning was spent taken Spirit into Dr. Buck’s office for his checkup. We got a good report on his health and had his claws and beak trimmed while we were there. I also picked up more food for Molly since this type does not cause her to spit up half digested food. Then of course we needed Heartgard for Brandy. Plus Frontline for both Brandy and Molly. Needless to say I almost drop my teeth when I saw the bill. But these are not cheap pets but they are members of our family.
I went through my large loose leaf binder of recipes we have tried and liked the other day. The object was to pull all the canning recipes out and put them in another binder. This accomplished I now have to make divider pages for it as soon as I buy them. I want to take my Print Shop and make a cover design for it also.
I am attempting to knit a Snow man that I found a pattern for but the going is slow. I did however visit with Harry Potter again for a bit yesterday—still not half way through but trying valiantly to get there. It is not the story but the other duties and projects around here that keep me busy.
The pumpkins in our picture were bought in 1996 and are lit up on the front porch every year. The sign above them announcing that the witch is ‘in’ tells a true story. In fact I try to remember to switch it to the ‘out’ side when I leave.
Speaking of witches you should see my hair. I could play the Wicked Witch of the East with no make up at all.
Don’t you agree? Well Saturday Shawn will remove the haystack from in front of my eyes and I will be able to see again.
That pretty much covers the last few days so I’ll close for now. Remember the laugh out loud edict is still in effect!!!!!
