A Lovely Fall Day

Say so long to our Redneck Riveera Cottage

We cleaned out the little trailer this weekend since the guy who came to cut the last tree down is taking it off our hands. It's still viable with a little more TLC than we care to put into it since we are putting everything into the house. It served us well the last 4 years. I'm ready to see it go so I can plant some trees which will be coming in the next couple of weeks from the Arbor Day Foundation.

Bye little home...I hope you make your new occupant comfy and get him out of the tool shed. Giving - 'Tis the season right? I thought so too!

After the trees were down, I walked out to see the carnage and when I turned back to the house I was faced with this scene. Wash on the line, crap in the yard...we thought it ironic. It looks a little better now that I've been out raking and picking up the stuff. Sonny will have to move the wood piled there before the termites decide it belongs to them.

Pests and new pets

Bad dog! Newman hasn't been very good this week
Mom is mad at him for scratching her and pulling
her into the dirt twice! Strong little fella.

This little fella is Darkling.

He showed up all beat up.

Skinny and scratched from head to toe.

We fed him and talked him into hanging around.

He brought friends... hmmmm.

Time to move the shower

Since the permanant power is going in soon, we have to move the outdoor shower and the little crate shed we have that is in the way of the trucks.
We decided to move the shower closer to the house and thinking of attaching it temp to the house lines. But til then, I'm clearing a spot and getting rid of that wicked vine that grows everywhere here... it has thorns! Then we can move the shower over. Thankfully Dad and I made it so it can come apart easily... gotta love screws!
I will take a pic before its down and then again when its been moved.

Oreo taste good!

Our Oreo girl on her way to market....

We did good growing our Oreo girl. I fried up some pork chops and couldn't get my fill of the stuff! Nice fat lined chops, an inch thick with great flavor!

Remember when she was just this little?
