A few randoms

Sitting as far away from the candles as her chair would allow...she wouldn't blow them out.

• There's a blanket of snow covering the ground. I must admit it is beautiful.
• But still. Much to early.
• Our chickens are laying eggs these days. Yay!
• We weren't sure if they were all laying in the coop. I thought we should be getting more than we were.
• Turns out, it wasn't the chickens-they were doing as directed.
• Caught red handed (or is it red pawed?): Sam. Dadgum dog. (at least he'll have a luscious coat, eggs are good for that.)
• We've also discovered that we have another rooster. All of a sudden, a third 'chicken' was crowing. Humph.

• My brother Carl has been here from GA. He's achieved rock star status with my kids. Especially with Oliver. That Unc is just plain cool.

• Need a good way to make yourself look gray haired for Halloween? My kids have discovered the solution: Gold Bond Foot Powder. That stuff covers very well and doesn't come out.
• I'm headed out tomorrow morning for a R. ladies weekend. Wahoo! We're off to an awesome looking vacation rental house by Red Wing. Should be a wonderful time.
• Here's hoping the weather shapes up for us!
• Now, I better be off to accomplish the list of things before I can leave: make soup to bring for tomorrow supper, make supper for today, buy a birthday present, stop at the library, do laundry, fill out a job application, pack...best get on with the day!
