oh, caca!

it's drench-pouring again!

:eek:

got the special butter all finished (it has to simmer for 24 hours, then set overnight in the fridge)

so, tomorrow is brownie day, and you're all invited!

unfortunately, the roads are all closed, the ferry's out, the bridges are submerged, the dam's at 160% of capacity, and the rivers are flooded.

gee, I sure hope that damn dam holds !!

guess I'll be eating my brownies all alone...

:cool::D:cool:

Hope all of you are doing better today...can't sleep, taken my meds...guess they ain't gonna work. I would go terrorize the neighborhood...only problem is I'm too well known in these here parts.

HMMMmmmm....wonder how far I would have to drive until I wouldn't be recognized? Guess, I better check the all the local postoffices for pictures...well it was a good idea while it lasted...

You should hear Catfish, my boston terrier, he is snoring so loud!! I am looking for him a good family, I can't keep him any longer...which was the plan when I rescued him. He is such a sweetie and so handsome! He was also in trouble for dragging all the throws around.lol

......"Autumn Leaves"

The splendor of autumn is so bright
colors that reflect upon us and our sight
those brilliant oranges and colorful reds
how you describe this feeling, what can be said
there's a spiritual feeling in side your soul
this is gods intention those colors are his goal
showing us his beauty before the season is over
tis is better than finding a four leaf clover
to feel the inspiration that autumn holds
a joyful reminder there will be spring after the cold
so enjoy the colors that are there for all too see
its real easy to do and will set your worries free
yes raking and bagging is a pain,and don't forget the eaves
enjoy while you can it will be another year ere we have autumn leaves

the pictures taken by my friend who's staying at our house.

this explains why I haven't posted the photos of the Naked Neck Chickens.

it's just RAINING too dang much to leave the paths we built to go FIND the chickens! (ours are all free-rangers)

:o:eek::o

Kay, Stay dry and safe. :hug:

Frank, thanks for the pics and poems.

Sandy and Wiz, send some of that energy this way. LOL. :D Glad you guys got so much done yesterday.

Sarah, :hug:

Momma, sorry to hear about the restless night. :hug:

~~~~~~~

Morning all! :) Sipping my usual morning cup of coffee.

Got to start here soon on making some slow cooked stew for dinner tonight. It's time for good ol' fashioned fall comfort food, lol. Pulling out the meatloaf, stuffed cabbage rolls, shepard's pie, and other such recipes. Plus they make nice leftovers. ;)

Hope everyone has a great day today. :grouphug:

Frank, Those pictures are beautiful. Thank you!

Jen -- What time is dinner?

Kay -- Be careful! Hope the rain stops soon.

Wiz -- Glad you had a good day! Please send some of the energy a few hours south!

My update: Had a decent day yesterday and I am going to take it easy today. I do need to run to the grocery store, do laundry, and clean my master bathroom, but otherwise I am gong to read a good book. so far I have started doing the laundry and have been doing some light cleaning.

I don't think I am going to be on here quite as much for awhile. I'll be checking in occasionally, and try to read some of your posts. But teaching and this flare are kicking my ***.

Hope everyone is having a decent Sunday!

hmmm laundry, thanks for mentioning it lol

Barb you be careful and take it easy, I hope you are able to find a calm medium between work and MS:hug::hug::hug:

Once again you are all busy. LOL

Kay, thanks for the pics. WOW! Are you sure your high enough? *the house silly* lol

Frank, glad to hear your going to the doc tomorrow. Someday you have to get better so we get can together again.

Wiz, I still have to scrub the floors today, throw a load of laundry in, make dinner and get Jim a shower later tonight, and then myself. lol What's on your agenda today?

Sarah, thanks again for the link. I saw one of our NT member left a sweet message and thank her for that. :hug:

Momma, I am sorry you couldn't rest. That little boy looks like he's restless too. I have enough animals but hope you find him a good home.

Jenn, my neighbor made a stew to die for last week. She cooks the seasoned beef as a roast first and then hand cuts the meat to get rid of all the grizzle and fat. Then she slow cooks the meat with veggies. YUMMY! I'm hungry now.

Barb, we'll miss you but understand. I pray you get some relief soon.

Well, I updated to Wiz what's on my agenda today. I keep looking at the garage because it is clean. lol I still have to tackle my van because I messed it up dragging yard clipping to my neighbors house. Maybe if I get the floors cleaned I can tackle that while dinner is cooking.

Everyone who hasn't checked in yet have a good Sunday and stay healthy. :hug:

hey all ... what a beautiful, cool day it is here ...

I did something yesterday - it may be tough to do, but, I need to do something about my finances ... I found a job that 'encourages women, minorities, and people with disabilities' to apply ... hopefully will hear something tomorrow ...

it's FT, flexible ... and in GB .. yes, Great Britian ... (no - just kidding) ... Packer country!
