this and that on a Thursday

Monday,

Lily told the hens that they all need to be laying eggs.

(never mind that I tell them this all the time)

Tuesday,

all 8 of my girls gave us an egg!

Yesterday,  we only got 2 eggs.

So I told Lily 

she best be getting out there and talking to those girls 

daily.

It is very hard to find a dozer person.

Who knew?!

I'm not quite sure how it happened,

but I went a month without exercising.

I know!

I remedied that yesterday.

I am always shocked to discover how quickly I get weak 

when I go for a period of not working out.

~

Actually, 

I do know (partly) how it happened.

My dadgum ankle has been hurting.

But it didn't hurt yesterday,

for the first time in about 3 months.

:-)

So far, it doesn't hurt today, either.

Of course, everything else does, though ;-)

I notice I am laughing more.

I think that vacation was really good for me.

Thanks, Love!!

The calendar is getting really full

really quickly

though.

Some new friends gave us deer meat to try.

I'm eager (but also a tad nervous) to try it.

I hope we like it!

We took the pool down.

We weren't sure it would last the whole season,

but thankfully, it did.

We bought one a little bigger (on major clearance - yay!) to replace it.

It's kinda weird to look out the window and not see it though.

(not bad weird. Just weird)

Tyler and Brandon repurposed it 

as a tee pee for the kids.

They (the kids. Not Tyler and Brandon)

have been working on some tricks for halloween.

Can you believe October is almost over??

I can't.

I am enjoying fall. I am not dreading winter.

I am enjoying fall; I'm not dreading winter.

I am enjoying fall.

I am not dreading winter.

(I have to keep reminding myself)
