hoping...

to get outside and get some yard work done tomorrow!

harvest is over!

got my old man back on the weekends!

we had rain today and it was cold...

so hoping it won't be so nasty tomorrow...

I need some dirt and leaf therapy!

a little good news today...

Ditzy had to have emergency surgery yesterday...

she had a prolapsed anus...

her butt hole was turning inside out...

but the surgery went well and she got to come home later...

she is now running amuck...

not sure if this will fix it or not or what will happen later on...

but for right now, she is good...

hoping for a good day...

what a week!

DH is getting close to being back to normal hours...

we had to clean out a storage unit yesterday...

Craig worked so hard...

we have been sorting and pitching and letting go...

you should see the pile for the garbage man!

have been to the doc twice...

finally lanced the boil...

but this guy left me with an inch slash in it...

looks bad...

might end up in the walk in...

(not my usual doctor)

we had some fierce winds yesterday afternoon...

saw reports of trees down, power outages and one of those awnings over a set of gas pumps went down...

but we are ok...

just have a yard full of green leaves now...

Craig had named this little one Dixie...

but I renamed her last week...

its now Ditzy...

she is such a ditz!

so much fun!

and she holds her own with the big ones...

we got more cold weather here now...

pretty darn chilly...

but we are stuck inside sorting tubs anyway...

hope it warms up for next weekend!

have a good day!

well...I have no excuse really...

got walnuts on the ground...

leaves are blushing, slightly...

decor in the house is done...

and- you won't believe this...

but this Craig's old white van...

when the transmission started going...

we decided a newer ride would be better than fixing this one...

so we gave it away...

to a friend of ours...

we all call him Drippy...

and he does custom painting...

he fixed up the old van and painted it like he did an old bike of his...

and now its the "Drippy Mobile"...

one of a kind...

I have been a bit under the weather...

a boil, allergies gone wild and a pinched nerve...

all in one week...

went back to the doctor yesterday and got more antibiotics...

and go back tomorrow for the lancing...

already did one round of it...

we have already been working on the toy drive...

flyers are made and donation box and canister out at the Family Dollar store...

they have already collected 2 big totes worth from there...

I think this is going to be a good year...

:)

and the new baby is doing good...

on hard food and water and litter box trained...

she is just so tiny...

going to be a very petite cat...

Craig named her Dixie...

we shall see if that sticks or not...

she gets along fine with all the rest of them...

yesterday, she discovered my bed....

she naps there now...

:)

with all the rest of them...

we have cooled off here...

in the 40s to low 50s for highs...

it could be a bit warmer...

:)

got lots of yard work to do...

DH is finally winding down on the harvest hours...

most are done now...

so...

what have you been up to?

still above ground...

got the Halloween stuff put up on Sunday...

all four of us were here to do it...

we had some very nice cooler weather...

but now we are back to the ac being on and wearing tank tops and flip flops...

our oldest was here for two weeks...

we have been doing yard work and such...

the time flew...

got a new baby in, too...

and she is doing great...

pics later...

have a great week!
