A few extra hours

Weekends are half days for early voting, which is a blessing for poll workers. Today with my extra time we went to Ken's Produce and Garden to get some flowers and gourds to go with my one lone orange pumpkin from the grocery store. I figure since the dogs have not chewed up the doormat in a whole month (a first), they could handle flowers without dumping them so they can chew up the pots.

And even though it is October, the grass still needs cutting. I managed to get the front yard cut when Bobby flagged me down as I neared the chicken pen. Turns out we have a new chick! I love it when they pop their heads out in random places.

After cutting a little in the backyard, I fed the chickens and gathered eggs and realized we had more green beans. The hand full I was expecting became a bucket full. So while watching so.e of the Alabama game I snapped beans. I am simply too tired to do any more, so they're chilling in the fridge until tomorrow afternoon....oh, and the beaver is back. In the middle of cutting grass I cleaned off the drain and threw parts of the mud fortress away from its sides. 

It seems strange to say I'm looking forward to "sleeping in" by getting up at 6am tomorrow  and my ears do not even want to think about donning a mask for even a few hours. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
