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.

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.
