"Well, Hell!"

Just what we needed..... another project~

Thankfully, no one was hurt. Just terribly confused! There was loads of excited chatter in the neighborhood....

Newest Hen~ "Goodness gracious me! When that tree came crashing through our roof, I thought the world was coming to an end! Do things like this happen often around here?"

Older/Wiser Hen~ "Well for heaven sakes, no honey! This is the most excitement that has come along since the neighbor's dog came over and tried to convince us to play tag. He chased us all around this coop, why you should have seen us, running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads.....uh, well... you know."

While the two roosters discussed the more practical side of the event....

Henry/Eldest Rooster~ "Sure is a shame about your place. Still, I guess it could have been a lot worse. At least you and the girls are safe. If you need a place to stay during the repairs, our door is always open."

Newest Rooster~ "Well, I certainly do appreciate that. Yeah, we were very lucky. Although, the girls were pretty upset, I did my best to reassure them. Hey, by the way, do you think my home owner's covers this?"

A Trip to Johnny's

Yesterday was a warm soup/stew kind of day....rainy and cool. The kind that makes you crave the comfort of a good steamy bowl lunch, and I was in the mood for brunswick stew. Now once I cooked up my own batch of home-made brunswick and it was quite tasty, but it took me all day to make and I did not have that kind of time, so I hopped in the car and headed to a local favorite.....

The sign really does say it all. On any given day, except Sunday and Monday, you can find people from all over town here during lunch time. They come in their suits and ties, heels and skirts, uniforms, and jeans and boots....quite an ecclectic grouping. All there to enjoy the best BBQ around.

Out back in the smoke house is where all of the Magic happens.....

Yes, you eat it with a plastic spoon right out of a styrofoam container. It ain't fancy (nor is it environmentally friendly), but Lordy Mercy it is GOOD!! I couldn't finish it all, but I certainly gave it my best shot. I left feeling toasty warm and completely satisfied. YUMMMMMY!

On a completely different note~

Miss Sadie got her stitches out. Except for a large scar and the patch of shaved fur, she is looking like her old self again and this morning as I was scratching behind her ears, she was happily trying to catch my hand and nip at my fingers, up to her usual feisty tricks, so she must be feeling much:-) Thanks to all who stopped in to wish her well!

Rainy Morn'

It has been almost a month since the last drop of rain has fallen here, so this morning as the outside world is absorbing every drop......

I sit her contentedly hopping from blog to blog, visiting old friends and making new ones, wrapped in my favorite old sweater as I drink in my own form of sustenance...... Cinnamon flavored Coffee:-)

I hope your day is peaceful and blessed....

Rhonda

Poor Kitty

Before.....

After....
My poor girl, Sadie is recovering from a run-in with a large rogue dog:-(

Hopefully her stitches can be removed tomorrow and the itchy wrap can come off. Then all she will have to do is wait for the fur on her right side to grow back.

Bless her she looks soooo pitiful.

A Little of This 'n That

So...my trusty farmhands and I raised a fence, a tasty crop of veggies and a beautiful brood of chicks this summer
After that, we needed a break..... So we packed up and headed to the beach:)

The rest of the summer I spent look for a job. I found one at the last minute. I headed back to teaching and my little one started Kindergarten.

"Yada, yada, yada", thirty-one days later I resigned and transferred my son to a different school. OK, I know the "yada, yada, yada" isn't fair, but I'm not ready to talk about it yet. Soon....

Changing Gears

It has been a very long, whirlwind of a summer.

Sure, I've got lots to talk about. But I really just want to go and see what you guys have been doing.....Anybody got coffee? I could use a good cuppa.

....and no, the discs are not really moving... COOL, huh?
