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.

Roosters can be such a pain. When my middle granddaughter was about 2, I had a mean rooster. I kept saying, I’m gonna kill that mean rooster! She’d pipe up with, Kill that rooster!
Finally one day I did. I made a pot of mean rooster soup. She ate 3 bowls of soup. She asked for another bowl of mean rooster soup, and added, put some of that rooster juice in there too!
From then on, everything had to be a mean rooster or she wouldn’t eat it. If they went out to eat and got her chicken nuggets, they assured her that it was Mamaw’s mean rooster.
This past week, the girls asked for mean rooster soup. I got a half chicken from the freezer and we had soup!

When I headed back to the bedroom to get dressed this morning I briefly thought about being quiet so I don't wake up Ron.
Composure crumbled, and I cried, a little.
