Enjoying the wide open spaces








Chilly the last two mornings - 40 degrees when we got up. At this rate I will have to break out gloves - holding the cold metal camera causes numb fingers. Still gorgeous and warm during the day - high 70's, but I feel a change in seasons a coming - Stop and stop - I want to hold back the days!
The driveway/drainage issues continue. No rain now, but the damage was done. Stuff is being dug out, rock delivered, and now our drain pipe under the driveway has to be dug up and stood on it's side to get all the mud & gravel out. It feels like new house construction is back...
Mark has been busy with golf tournaments and a little fishing thrown in. Fishing report is mediocre he says. He did bring home a nice size trout which we had for breakfast with scrambled eggs. Yum!
I went in our woods to: one; search for mushrooms, two; check out flowers, and three; heave fallen branches into piles so you can walk without tripping. A ridiculous task, I've gotta say - there's enough fallen wood to keep this project going for years... Did see some great mushrooms, including one with a big bite taken out of it. Guess the animals know if it's poisonous or not.
Picked up the weekly eggs and monthly meat package at the farm, and yes, there was a giant chicken in there. Will be brining before cooking - thanks Heather. Happened to get there as milking was going on -dairy cows are very cute. Still am not buying the raw milk, not because of the controversy, we hardly drink any of whatever kind.
