Monday Musings

 There is stuff to do.

But I don't want to do it.

(grin)

I could say it's because I taught

over the weekend.

Or because it's chilly in the house.

Or I'm a teeeeeny tiny bit burned out

on preparing food.

And all of that would be accurate.

I have cucumbers that need to be

put into the freeze dryer.

And tomatoes that need to come OUT

of the freezer.

And onions that need to be chopped

and put IN the freezer.

And a chest freezer that needs to be emptied,

inventoried, and organized.

And I need to get a big pot of soup on

the stove for dinner after class tonight.

(yum!)

But I don't WANT to do any of that.

Kyle came by and we went for a walk

up our magical path.

It's so pretty after the rain last week.

We got to the fence where we usually

turn around, and instead we headed up

the hill to the hill top tree.

If you squint really hard, you can

just barely make out the garden.

With my glasses on, I could just see

some of the white tops on the t-posts

and a couple of the orange buckets.

It was a lovely walk.

The dogs were tired!

(Bear starts with a trip to the pig yard

where he runs and plays with the big dogs,

and THEN they walk down to our house

and what ever walk we decide, and then

they still have to go back up the hills to

their house...)

So we stopped for a bit at the big stock

tank and Kyle lifted him in so he could

play in the leftover rain water.

Cool off and get a drink.

(I just dipped some water into a bowl

for Beau, he's not as big a fan of

"swimming" as Bear.)

Rod is busy putting another coat on the island.

In between getting the cinder blocks cemented

in under the house.

And Jim just arrived, so he and Kyle are down

harvesting pumpkins for Jim to take into 

town and try to sell now that it's October.

I guess I should get something done.

I blogged....... doesn't that count?

hahahaha.

(I also sat down and played my piano

for a bit - first time since we moved!)

Need to get ready to teach here in 2 hours.

And maybe I can have the guys help

put the freeze dryer on a pallet so we can

get it shipped back to Utah for repairs.

Ok.

Get crackin' girl!
