the other two...

a sweet little girl...

she's a cuddler, too...

and another girlie...

both still looking for a home...

with Bob, the gray and white one...

heard the word frost on the weather tonight...

hoping it doesn't...

but we need some fall colors around here...

its all still green...

DH had to work today, so was home alone...

bottle feeding and resting up for tomorrow morning...

Craig is getting his CPAP machine and getting fitted for his mask...

it all comes with an on hands instruction class with the pharmacist...

he said it takes about half an hour, so we are doing lunch after we get done there...

it was a pretty day watching it from inside...

we went for a walk before supper and talked the neighbors...

got a bit chilly after the sun started down...

which is pretty early now...

brought one of my ferns inside and gave another one away...

if we do frost, they won't make it out there...

we shall see if I kill this one, too...

looking forward to a good week...

hope you have a good one, too...

Blinky who is now CJ, left this morning...

his new mama is one of our dear old babysitters...

she was and is such an awesome person and I could not be happier that she got this baby...

she has fibro, too...

so we understand each other very well...

she lives 3 towns away now...

but we have been friends on facebook forever...

it got so cold here last night...

34!

that's just not right...

winter coat to run to the dollar store last night...

and one trip out on the deck this morning had me turning around and doing inside stuff today...

should warm up the next 10 days...

so this will be the coldest day...

for now...

y'all have a great weekend...

adopted....

this little girl found her furever home today...

and its going to be a wonderful home...

know her mama...

and just like that, there were 4...

well, we took in 2 bottle feeders yesterday afternoon...

you will meet them soon...

Susie- DH is fine, just old...

Doug, our oldest, has lost the 41 pounds in 3 months...

he is overweight and his A1C was high...

not enough to be type 2 yet, but on his way...

he has done such an amazing job the last three months in changing so much...

and he has dropped some weight and feels so much better...

blood tests show major improvement and still has a couple of things to keep working on...

but it takes time and the staff at the dr's office is very impressed with his hard work so far!

it rained here last night and all day today and got cold and nasty...

could see the low 30s tonight...

we shall see...

too windy to frost just yet...

but it is cold enough for me...

had to drag a coat out this afternoon to go out...

need to find the gloves, hats, ear muffs, too...

not ready for this...

60s and low 70s would be just fine...

have good weekends...

another baby leaving here in the morning...

need a buddy?

this one is something else...

up for adoption...

Doug went to the dr this morning...

saw our np...

he has lost 41 pounds...

got his blood work done and we are waiting on the results to see if he needs to change anything or keep going like he has been...

he is doing so good at following directions on what he needs to do...

DH is in harvest now...

taking in corn the last two days and working longer hours...

got some rain coming in...

we have been so dry...

have great weekends!

fall finally happened...

we were in the 90s last week...

it's in the 70s now and 50s at night...

turned the furnace on...

so where have I been?

oh, where to begin...

#1- taking care of babies...

they are now ready to go...

#2- a guy DH works with came and stayed with us for 4 days...

thought it would be longer, but he decided to go home and face what was going on there...

SHE was hitting on him...

#3- Craig did the sleep study and got the results back...

severe sleep apnea...

he is scheduled to get his machine and mask fitting next Monday and then on the 29th, he does the next sleep study with his machine and mask...

they will adjust the settings to make sure its where it needs to be for him...

#4- chasing down a possibility on getting his car fixed...

there is another one here that is a perfect match motor and transmission wise...

intentions are to put our motor and transmission in the other car...

the transmission is going out of the other one...

Problem: the guy hit a raccoon and tore up the underside in front...

then he crunched the left fender a bit...

need to see if he did damage underneath...

it needs front breaks...

everyone is in harvest and will be next month or so before it can be done...

we need to decide on which way to go...

#5- mad dash to unearth the fall and winter clothes...

get everything through the wash and determine what to keep and what to let go...

(had no idea I had so many clothes)

so one big bag in the trash...

3 walmart bags to a friend...

and very little back in the closet...

goal was to go down to 10 outfits...

got it to 17...

and I am good with that...

(DH said it looks like I moved out)

#6- squeezed in our bi-monthly shopping trip to Ruler Foods...

(miss Kroger, but next best thing)

and Walmart, Rural King and Goodwill...

we are stocked until the first of December or when harvest is over...

#7- sneaking in yard work here and there...

pulling the tomato plants this weekend...

they are tired and so are we...

#8- got a new phone...

discovered last night via my nerdy son that I can download the photos on the camera to my laptop...

and then post here...

oh, the possibilities with that...

plus tons of other stuff that just happens day to day...

allergies, colds, chin hair plucking...

you know, things that just come and go...

well- have a great day and expect me in here more often...

missed you guys...
