This morning I was awake at 2am, then 4:30, and 6:30...then I got up and made coffee. I got to use a brand new unopened canister, woo!

Then I dropped off a couple old pillows at the animal shelter (kitties love them) and then stopped at the farmers' market. Picked up some half price Rome apples for another apple/cranberry pie, an onion for pot roast, and a jar of honey from my favorite beekeeper. They have different types of raw honey, and I have been enjoying the "fall" variety one spoonful every day.

After I got home and fed the chickens and wild birds I decided to tackle the living room. We had to put the hospital bed in there, and since it's been gone I've been working on spot cleaning the carpet. A 5x7 washable rug is now covering the old carpet, recliner positions were switched, lots of decluttering accomplished. It's still not Southern Living but I now am willing if someone wants to stop by and visit.

I noticed yesterday that one of my pullets, Esther, had an open sore on her neck, so I put some Hibiclens on it after dark. Today I noticed Priscilla has the same type of wound, same place. I treated both tonight. It was suggested that one of the cockerels might be a little rough. I hope it isn't Zacchaeus, he's the roo I want to breed.
