So begins week 2 of October

 Okay I am a day or so early for the second week, but I made progress today. I worked a bit in the chicken house, and they should stay warm at least for a bit. I also saw the geese sailing high on a jet stream this afternoon. I wish I had thought to take a picture. The whole time that I watched them they just glided no wing flapping at all, it was awesome. For the chickens I was able to makeshift a few roosts for them to get them off of the ground. I also spread a bunch of wood shavings to insulate the floor a bit. This morning I awoke to frost. It is Fall for sure. Winter is not far off. I guess all plans will soon be frozen into the moment until Spring. That is likely a good thing. If the weather is nice during the children's break from school, I will look for somewhere warm to go for a few days. Trying to locate someone to move the piano to a donation center has been challenging. Not one service has called back and only one answered. That one does not service this area. I also h

 So begins another month and more delays. We lose our current pastor today for Durango. His replacement has been teaching here and there, as Joshua has much to do before the move.

I say this because DH cannot process what I say most of the time either. I won't be able to attend today as one kiddo came home sick from youth group last night and the other won't go if I don't go. I guess I can leave the two of them to their own devices for a bit...  Nope that is not a good option. This morning we had sausage biscuits, sausage gravy and eggs for breakfast. Of course, the littlest had two jelly biscuits. Meat is poisonous. My goal was to have something ready for breakfast every day this week even if they won't eat it. They do not eat at school until after 12. While homeschooling we ate breakfast each day.

The September finale...

 It is the last Monday of the month and there is a wedding to attend this Saturday. I am debating the drive vs flying, going alone or taking the kids, sending the money I would have spent instead of going at all. The getaway itself would be nice, the drive not so much. The bugs even less. It is the final Saturday of the month and I have had no time to blog this week at all. Between the water repairs and life in general, nothing productive happened by my hands. I did break down and upgrade my phone. However, I am thinking of returning the new phone today and sticking with the outdated model. The decision on the wedding was made by events that happened here at home and I did not attend. To at least get something done here at the house is more important than fun... at least in the moment it seems that way. the moon as I drove home last night
