We woke up fairly early to cool breezes, some fog, turkeys on the lawn and the making of an awesome home cooked country breakfast.
While Carlo got to work on finished the pipe insulation under the cabin, I cleaned up the kitchen, straightened up and washed all my wind chimes. I packed them away until they can be rehung and enjoy the breezes of the upcoming spring.
Carlo fired up the gas trimmer for me to clear out the flower/weed beds that we have. This tool is c-r-a-z-y...it whacked everything in sight! The casualties were massive...solar lights went flying, wind decorations shattered, a jug of water was sliced up...destructive! It was out-of-control! A big ball-jam for sure on this chore! Anyway, it was all cleared and hopefully the spring will bring new flowers and maybe they will easily be described, unlike the Lilacs that are actually Phlox...who knew? A gal I like to call Chewbacca...Go figure!
I love the end of a productive day. We are ready for winter now. Carlo put metal on a couple of doors - we hope to stop the critters from getting through...he moved some feeders so the seed will last longer for the birds and hopefully keep the squirrels and raccoons from. He put seed and corn out for the turkeys!
We drove to Paul and Betty's and I snapped photos along the way of 'my neighborhood'. Our visit was short because they were having lunch - we didn't mind...we had a few more chores to get out of the way before dinner. I grilled chicken, potatoes and corn and made a side of avocado/tomato salad. And yes, I will brag...incrediblicious!
We watched the 61st Emmy Awards and listened to the rain that finally showed up. Between the rain, the falling acorns and the rustling leaves we weren't sure what we would see come morning but we knew the chance for a bonfire was definitely out...oh darn!
