Your morning wake up call cup is sitting by the coffee pot which is all set to be very busy then lets take our meeting to the patio in the cool 55 degree sample taste of Autumn weather.
If you are near Central Va this weekend stop in to "Field Days of the Past" in Amelia Court House. There's rides, vendors, exhibits plus FOOD and DRINKS available. It begins today and runs until Sunday.

Morning all. We enjoyed a sunrise on the front porch watching the fog come up the valley. Dogs did a round robin barkathon last night. I’m convinced have a large predator visiting. I’m also missing two hens dang it. Game camera to barn maybe? As soon as we determine whether or not the downdraft pickup and drop off happens today- conflicting emails-I can plan my day. Honestly I’ve done fine without the downdraft. My grandmother raised three kids using a tiny kitchen with a gas range/ oven and no ventilation but a small window that wasn’t opened in the winter. Heck the gas oven was a heat source if the power went out. They all turned out fine. Well. Maybe not so much later in life but I’m pretty sure their issues were not related to the air quality in the kitchen. :p Anyhow have a great day everyone.

Thanks for the coffee! I slept until 7 this morning. I got 9 hours of sleep. I must’ve been tired.

ME TOO! Yep, I was tired...2 very long days at work, physically & mentally tired. Alarm went off at 6, turned that bad boy off and back to sleep! Went to make coffee and found I had left the utensil drawer pulled out 🤔 from putting stuff in there last night, as I emptied the dishwasher. Had refilled it and not turned it on. Yeah, too tired to think.

So I made coffee, started dishwasher, began a load of clothes, fed cats and...whew, that coffee is so good. Took DS to a store for his cigs, now I'll hang clothes, go milk and consider what's next. 🥰. It's cool out, sunny, lovely day to be home!

Good early morning all. Coffee will stay on. Just snacks, no bacon and eggs. l I'm always up at 1.30 and 3?. Today I decided to stay up. Had a thought of rain so I put up tools that should have been put us yesterday. I kept wondering if I'd do more work knowing I couldn't without more/the right material.

Whew! I slept late. Dogs are fed, sheep are out. Projects are lined up. Bantams are laying again but standards are pecking. Colonel Mustard to the rescue I hope. They may need separate nesting areas which can easily be arranged. The Standards seem to prefer the sheep barn and I can fix a spot for them, need to dog proof it though. A body never has enough cattle panels. Or rebar. :lol:

Slept in a bit, grabbed a cup and a piece of spiced apple cake w/brown sugar frosting :drool , then out the door to 62 and cloudy/foggy morn. Took the sheep out to graze and wonder of wonders they wanted to eat in the meadow (usually their favorite spot to stand and stare at me to say - let's go somewhere else). YAY!
Back at the house now and enjoying cup #2.
This one is for @Mother Hen --- I've got a few signs I put where our coffee machine is - I switched out to this one today :)
