Before the Rain





The other morning I got up early hoping for a nice sunrise. The sun has moved back down the hill again so I get to see it well. The rain was coming- actually started while I was snapping these. You prob think the sun never showed up the other day and since but it did-here is the proof.

The Garden is just about done


We would have more but the chicken have decided our cukes taste wonderful and anything they can reach thru the fence with their beak and peck -they do. Should still get some cherry tomatoes if the frost holds out for a bit. Have big plans for next year.

My Zippo- he is my child that gets into everything. He can't be happy just munching on grass-he has to jump the tape to go visit with Chief and chase him around. Well they both could use a little exercise so I let them be- this is a pic a long time coming- Lets hope they get along this nicely forever!

GOODBYE!!! Irene! Dont'come back

Lets just say the past two weeks has been not fun! From the moment they said She's coming-we have been preparing. Figuring with any winds we would loose the green house and the large old barn- which means everything with or without legs must be moved. Now just tack that on with all the other stuff that needs to be done here daily and you have Crazy Kim. Now when Crazy Kim is done she realizes there is plenty of food for the animals and none for people-so as Irene comes to town the shopping for food begins. Luckly we get our milk from the barn up the street so that was 11 1/2 gallons to hold us thru. Sat night was fine but Sunday 6:31 to be exact-bam-no power-until Tuesday night! Our other house just got back on yesterday-8 days!!! So things we/I have learned-men could care less how many days its been since they have showered last. men don't care if the roof blows off-men just want to sleep. If you have a bad tooth go to the dentist BEFORE the hurrican hits- not the ER the night of...To sum it up-I hope its another 25 yrs before something like this happens again, trees will fall where THEY want to and I LOVE MY Generator! All animals are safe but not all are moved back-still tired from the pre-op,lol. It is quite clear to me that our govt has learned nothing from Katrina. and Thank God other power companies came to CT's rescue AGAIN.
