Fair Weather

It's hard to believe that there is now a generation born after 9/11, but uplifting to see school kids planting flags in memoriam.  Watching the news or reading FB posts regarding that day still makes me cry.

There doesn't seem to be anything fair about the weather these days.  It was pretty good here yesterday, warm, but not too hot, and there was a nice breeze.  My niece in New Hampshire was telling me that it was 90 degrees with nearly 100 percent humidity back there, and the Carolinas are gearing up for Hurricane Florence.  A little more moderation, Nature, please.

Tessie and Sheila are becoming more dependent on each other.  I rarely look out without finding them close together in either pen.  I dread to think about when there is only one.

The Chicken Lady still hasn't returned my call, so I may not be getting chickens after all.  Oh well, the pens and coops needed cleaning anyhow.  I'm just glad I didn't rush out and stock up on feed.

Helper Dude is coming this morning to cut down a few volunteer live oak saplings that are growing too close to the house.  I'd leave them for the shade, but I'm due for an insurance inspection and I know they wouldn't pass.

The kitchen help did the dishes yesterday.  I'm not above playing Lady of the Manor.  (I once had a step-mother-in-law...it's complicated...who used, and meant, that phrase.)

All said and done, it wasn't a bad day.
