Almost Thanksgiving

  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and we still don't know if T works or not. Chickens still make manure no matter what day it is! lol The houses they haul from are having trouble figuring out how to change the one week day that they don't "run". No matter ....we will still be so very grateful on Thursday whatever the outcome. May even have a turkey. I took one out of the freezer on Monday morning and put it in the fridge. Maybe I'll take it out and put on counter today.
  The weather has not been bad at all. In the 30's and 40's with a little sunshine thrown in! Loving that sunshine!
  Yesterday I looked out the kitchen window to see the cat and a chicken both staring at a vole. Not sure which one had caught it, probably the cat as it was moving verrrrry slowly and had the chicken caught it she would have been running with it. What a hoot! They sat there staring at it and each other for at least 10 minutes. I did not watch to see who was going to take the prize. I have seen the chickens steal from the cats before but they are older now and might not let that happen any more.
  That is my life. Not much goes on around here but it takes very little to amuse some people as the saying goes. I enjoy the fact that our assortment of animals get along so well.
  A couple of friends came down from up north and spent a few hours visiting. They are both busy but have found the time to work on some knitting/crocheting projects for the little ones in North Dakota that another friend started. They both are making different sized mittens and hats, I believe.
With luck we'll make a good showing when the deadline rolls around. Helping the kids stay warm is  a good cause.
  Sometimes it's hard to find a way to help other folks when things are tight but can be done. Eggs are running low so don't have extras to take to the food bank right now but it will pick up soon. My hens do fairly well laying right through most winters. They have 6 new babies they are watching over right now. Six babies and most days at least 3 mamas. lol They are slowly learning. That's what I get for being so picky about the color of my eggs. Bred to lay not hatch.

 

  The girls that laid these are getting old...

  I didn't put the turkey out and guess it is a good thing. T called and they will get tomorrow off after all. Still don't know at this point if we're going to Spfd or not. Nothing new. lol We will know in the morning when it's time to leave. I got an apple pie in the oven and a pumpkin in the wings and rolls rising....no matter what it will be a good day. You all have a diamond day!
