Well, we had this
pumpkin see, and along came a bat, see, and WHAM, that bat hit that pumpkin
like a bat out of…well you know.
Must have been a mutant bat with those chicken legs.
Speaking of chickens…
I have a sneaking suspicion one of my “pullets” is a
rooster. “He” looks different from the others. His tail goes up, while the other
two have tails that make a nice little “V” at the end of their body. He has no
comb yet, but today I heard a definite “Woo, woo,” sounding vaguely like a
juvenile rooster trying to crow. Oh my, what am I going to do with a rooster?
Here I live in town and I don’t know if the neighbors will tolerate a rooster. The pen that held the baby chicks said, “Pullets”
but alas, sexing a baby chicken takes a skill I don’t have—apparently the sellers didn’t
either. I chose him because he was pretty.
Speaking of pretty…
The tree in our yard had turned a glorious red.
The weather here in Oregon has been perfect since our
arrival last April. Basically we have had sunshine every day except for a few
days of rain that brought up the grass shoots turning the bare, plowed fields
into a green that would make your eyes
tear-up. Even October has had more sunny days than not. It has rained some, and
the temperature has dropped measurably, but with my little electric heater at
my feet I’m good. Right now it is gray out. Maybe it will burn off. We’ll see.
I’m having fun with the quotes I have been putting on my
book site. (http://jewelld.net.hostbaby.com)
Words from the greats are inspiring me. I don’t know if people care about the
quotes, or if they check my site, but at least there is something posted that’s
new to read. I started to say I would do Daily Quotes, but then I figured I
would burn myself out, so I’m saying Quotes 5 days per week—even God rested. Yeah
I know He only took one day off—that was silly, He could have made the world in one
day and played the other six.
P.S. Do you think God cares that I’m disrespectful? If God
were a woman She’d laugh.
