Madison and the girls are watching their friend’s little boys during the day.
One of the daycare providers is a little bit bossier than the others.
Today, while I waited for my bus para, I snapped a couple of pictures of the fall leaves out the window. Then I decided I wanted to take a few more as I go, because the countryside is full of fall colors, and beautiful scenery. I waited until I was on my way home, with zero children on the bus with me.
The down the road neighbors raise Dexter cattle. They are a smaller breed cow from Ireland I believe. They are cute and it is a small herd and they are basically pets. If you stop, which I admit I sometimes do, they come right to the fence. Why do I sometimes stop? No reason other than I just really love cows. Doesn’t everyone stop and talk to the cows for a minute? I am also guilty of naming the neighbor’s cattle. Do they care? I have not asked and figure They don’t have to know! I drive 115-120 miles a day. I actually enjoy that. I see the same cows, same horses, same roads every single day. It amuses me and it is harmless. This bull I call Bad Bart. I am sure you can see why. Go ahead and call the men in white coats, but I feel like it is a harmless thing to do.
My favorite sight of the day - the road home with empty seats behind me! Daylight savings time means when I get home, there isn’t much time before it is dark now. Have I mentioned my disdain for moving the clocks back to standard time?
One thing I love, and it is ridiculous - is sumac in the fall. Yes I know it is an invasive weed, but seriously it is beautiful! If you have to be poisonous, at least be beautiful!
The hedge apples (monkey brains, Osage orange balls - whatever you call them) numbers are massive this year! This isn’t even a big tree! I wish I knew some useful thing to do with them. I tried putting them in the basement a few years ago, to keep the spiders out. Yea, that was a waste of time! Ideas welcome I guess.
Every single time I pull in, Maude comes running. She is so happy to see me. It is stupid though, and I legit worry she is going to be run over. This is a source of mild contention between Jim and me. He thinks by letting her come running and load up on the bus (don’t tell my boss) I am encouraging the bad behavior. I understand what he is saying, but I’d rather load her and insure I don’t hit her. Plus it makes me laugh when she jumps her short legs up the stairs. She also runs around while I park and eats all the crackers, cereal and probably candy the kids drop. It helps me!
Such a good girl.
Saige wasn’t feeling well after school today, so I went out to do her chores for her. We went from 12-15 eggs a day down to 2-3. The chickens and I had a discussion about soup tonight. The pullets I got in June have not started laying yet either. There was a lot of lecturing done this evening.
Chickens don’t listen. But Zoey does!
Blitz listens but doesn’t care what I say. She is old and opinionated. Like her owner I guess.
Wednesday randomness for you.
