Ever had a morning where you wake up, the air is crisp with early Fall and there is a light haze hanging over the road? The sun is shining in the bedroom window and you can smell the coffee that your husband has made. Outside the roosters are crowing and you just can't help but smile and think...
When we got our chickens, I told my husband "respect the hens. They are literally having a baby every time they lay an egg!"
This is the kind of Friday I'm Having.
We took our two youngest dogs into the vets for their rabies shots and they promptly decide that they are a) not getting out...
Everything wild is blooming here. Blackberries, raspberries, trees, bushes including elderberry, you name it. The fragrance in the air is unbelievable. No human can duplicate it in an air-freshener but you can sure open the windows and enjoy it free of charge.
