Robin's Nest

  It is the middle of September and my goal list for the month is moving very slowly. My sister came from Oklahoma and we had a good visit. She brought two baby goats and two bunnies for the girls.  Everyone enjoyed the visit and the extra dogs that came to play. I took time to sit out in the evening air each night and that is rare for me. Of course that meant some things had to be left alone so I chose the dishes lol.

Too bad that party came after the forgotten birthday. There is still time in the month to remember the balance of birthdays! DH blamed his age and the fact that I didn't remind him... it is lonely here under the bus. All said and done I will overcome the tread marks and the tables will turn ;) disclosure: this post among other things, was placed on the back burner, then someone or something shut the stove off. The blog has been abandoned for a few weeks now so this post is old.
