Beautiful Fall Days

We've had a stretch of gorgeous fall weather.  Warm, sunny, no wind, just wonderful.  I've been thinking it feels more like spring than fall and that maybe those two days of wintry weather are all we're going to get.  People tell me I'm crazy, but a girl can dream......

M has been super busy hauling cows and calves and comes home every night smelling like cow manure (he thinks it turns me on--NOT!).  I've been having a hard time remembering where he is and where he's going.  I hope he knows!  When I complain about all his time away he reminds me that this craziness only lasts a few weeks and then we're going on vacation.  I'm pretty sure he's taking on all this extra work so that he doesn't have to go near his "honey-do" list.  Sad.  He went a fall without a cattle trailer and had all kinds of people calling him so he had to get another one.  Then he had to get a better one.  The deal was he was supposed to sell the first one once he got the second one, but that hasn't happened yet.  I'm ready for him to sell them both!  I guess I shouldn't complain about him working so hard--better than living with a dead beat!

I have been trying to take advantage of the nice weather.  I finally got my fall bulbs planted and did some other work in the flower beds and watered trees.  I have a few more things I need to get stored away for winter and then my fall to-do list will be taken care of.

R finished hauling hay in the dark last night.  I guess he wanted a day off today!  It's a relief to have that job done.  It was CRP hay that had to be off the CRP by Nov. 15 so they were working on a deadline.  Now whatever else gets done this fall is gravy.

I think I'll go out and soak up some more of the sun while I can.
