I'm going to seriously regret not taking the dogs for a walk or run today but it's been spitting snow off and on with the wind gusting 30+mph all day. The dogs have been sleeping most the day. I'm in trouble. 🥺😂

Sometimes when I have staples in my kitchen that take me awhile to use, I will write the date on the container when I open it. I just finished a standard 26 oz container of salt. I did have a 4 oz shaker that I also used during this same time. So 30 oz X 2 people X 23 months.

Venison meatballs into the oven. It's been awhile. I rarely make these in the summertime.

Here comes the sun.

Grey and gloomy with very little sunrise color but I'll take those little breaks in the clouds.

I got up at 5:30am to take the puppy out so I could linger in bed until it starts to get light outside. She's back in her kennel and I'm back in bed lingering.😁

How come I have this little sliver of the end of the couch barely wide enough for me to sit on? 🤷‍♀️😝😂

R.I.P. Mr. (or Mrs) Skunk who was coming into the chicken barn every night to eat chicken food.

Now I have to figure out how I'm going dispose of said skunk that is currently "sleeping" on the cement pad outside the (fortunately seldom used) rear door of the barn.

What in tarnation? I just walked up on a wild turkey hen sitting on the ground in an overgrown field. I looked at her. She looked at me. And then she flew away. She was sitting on eggs. Birds get so confused sometimes. 😝🤯🦃

I'm home from work. Had to eat lunch. But now I've got the post lunch sleepies😴 But I need to exercise the dogs. There is rain coming but we are in a dry slot. But I'm so sleepy. But..... 😴😴😴🤣🤣🤣

Starting off at 41°F and heading to the upper 50s. It's a work Saturday for me. I'm hoping the rain will hold off until later so I can exercise the dogs this afternoon when I get home from work.

I knew there was a skunk hanging around but I've been too busy to stakeout the barn. Tonight after dark I went out to close the chicken pens and it was INSIDE eating chicken food. Damn skunk. It left when it heard me. I locked up the pens. I need to MAKE time for a stakeout.

Just a short one hour of exercising beagles. Look who started barking at rabbit scent just a little bit right at the very end. Yep. It's puppy beagle Belle. 😁

Check another something off the to-do list. I thought there were 3 different trees across the paths through the woods but it turns out there were 6. Some I cut all the way back. Some I just cut enough to get the Kubota through. Now I have 30 mins to run the dogs before sunset.

8am to 1:30pm adulting done. Back home. I should make one phone call but I think I'm going to save that for Monday. I sat down for 15 mins and I'm in serious danger of turning into a pile of goo. So I better get up and start moving again. Two and a half hours of daylight left.
November 14, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Lots of adulting this morning which is going to spill over to the afternoon. I really want to run the dogs but I also really want to get the chainsaw out to clear some down trees. Need to focus on one thing at a time.

Here comes the sun.

This is the only sliver of cloud-free sky in any direction. And the sunrise is soon going to be swallowed by the approaching clouds.

I heard this song on the radio for the first time yesterday. Had to go look up the lyrics tonight. And now I'm a hot mess. As hard as it is saying goodbye, I would not trade those dog years for anything. 🐶

Super stressful day of work. Going to morph into an annoying morning of adulting tomorrow. But tonight, a dinner salad with leftover tequila lime chicken on top, a margarita and a handful of m&m's for dessert and my stress level is currently 2 out of 10. 😁

Quiet weather day in the 40s on tap. Stars are out and sunshine is on the way. Looking forward to more sunshine and a day off tomorrow.

It was still cloudy when I went to bed but now at 1:50am the clouds are starting to thin. No signs of the aurora even with the night enhanced setting on the camera but there's the Big Dipper to the right. Light on the horizon is from city lights.

8pm: Getting home from dropping off 2 roosters at an Amish farm to be butchered tomorrow. Oh sure I could have done it myself. But I hate having to drag out all my equipment and then clean it for 2 roosters. The Amish lady charges $2.50/bird. They will make good soup.

Waking up to 36°. Supposed to be off and on rain or snow, temps in the 40s, gusty winds. I'm ok having to go to work on days like this.

The aftermath of peeing on the floor / cat chasing event. 🐾♥️🥰

I've only been home an hour and so far Belle peed on the living room floor right in front of me and Otis pulled the leash out of my hand and chased one of the barn cats across the pasture even though I was screaming at him to stop. Good times. 🤦‍♀️😝🤣🤣🤣
