Another Fall Day Gone

Just another day of chores. I wouldn't mind something different. Some fun. Some laughter. I've been told I don't know how to do those things anymore...by my son. Maybe I don't. I am getting kind of cranky.

I worked on the beds again today. Emptied the trailer full of grass from yesterday into a compost bin and loaded up the richness for these three beds. Everything was tilled in - again.  I also put compost and tilled four of the upper beds.

Grabbing grass clippings I spilled.

It was a beautiful day and up to 61* this afternoon. It made mowing enjoyable.

I hung up my new Fall sign. Claudia & Doug got me the pole and a summer sign as a gift years ago. I need to get more flags for the seasons and holidays.

Can you see the trail from those nasty voles? The grass was long and covered in leaves. That had eaten a little trail from under the chicken coop. Yesterday when I was tilling on of the beds I hit a nest and five scattered. I managed to stomp one, Millie got another and three got away. I have such a huge infestation and I should be more serious about trapping them.They are so destructive.

I finished mowing the bank, the end and started on the corner, but then had to go in to cook my husbands dinner. By the time I got back outside it was getting dark and the sun had gone down. It was cold.

I gave up and went in to help Lucas with reading, Olivia with spelling and Emily with a book report. Tomorrow is another day....maybe that's the one I'll finish on?!! :)
