Happy Fall to the folks on my side of the world-- Happy Spring to those that are opposite!!
Our hunter friend will be here around 10:30 tomorrow morning. He hasn't been here since the last time I posted on this blog. SO much has happened since we last saw him. I feel like I've aged at least 10 years (and I look like it too). Health crap sucks. Leg/ankle are slooooooooly getting better. If I didn't feel like there was improvement I would have gone to the doctor. It still hurts ...a lot more when I'm on it a ton. Grocery store about did me in yesterday lol. But, I'm hobbling along and it will get better.
Something made me feel like decorating for fall several weeks ago even though it felt (still does) like the depths of summer. Thank goodness or else it wouldn't have gotten done after the Scout ambush lol.
A few pictures to get you in the fall mood maybe:
The poor garden....started out SO well. But then the heat hit and even though we watered the hell out of it, it just didn't take off. The tomatoes were mostly all the size of cherry tomatoes. I didn't can a thing which is so not like normal. But, considering all of my yucky stuff going on, it's kind of a good thing. We had such a banner year last year that I have a lot canned up in the basement yet so it's all good. Everything happens (or doesn't happen lol) for a reason I guess. Melons and cucumbers were good. As are the pumpkins!!
Ronnie said he counted at least 50 big orange guys out there. Here's the patch:
A baby:
They look wilty because it's 91F out there right now. Ugh. COME ON WINTER!
I haven't picked any yet because #1: leg #2: the guys are planning on doing some work on the front and back porches.
So, as usual, it's dove and duck season now. There is hardly any water around because no rain and most ALL of the ponds have dried up. On our property with the windmill that I showed somewhere upthread Ronnie has been pumping water out like crazy to fill ours. That should make the ducks dive-bomb in there. We will see.
So, that's the latest. I'm off to do some last minute things and figure out dinner for tonight. I wish I was better at planning lol.
