We’ve had a lovely extended fall.  Ducks still enjoying pond with no ice.  HOWEVER, that might change.  We’ve got some real cold descending upon us and no guarantee that it will warm up again.  Tho I’m hoping…..

So today DH and I were busy!  Take out A/C window unit.  Wrap swamp cooler in plastic for the winter.  […hope we don’t have any really warm days now ]  Put horses to pasture with shelter…in case of snow???  And I really pushed to finally take down a temporary shelter that certainly wasn’t supposed to be up this long anyway.

I think I got some wind burn.  I got choked with dust cuz the rare road grader chose this day to keep going back and forth, stirring up dust.  It was worse in evening when wind died…I didn’t go with DH to feed critters.  I don’t get along with dust/smoke/etc.  I carry masks all the time.  Besides, even after hot shower…I can barely move!  Ack!

We are really a couple of ACHING old folks tonite.  Told DH I’ll set my alarm to get up and walk around every hour thru the nite……else I might not be ABLE to get up in the morning.  This too shall pass.  But we’re pleased to have gotten so many projects done quickly before this sudden change of season.  Very much hoping for more autumn….dislike winter more every year.

OldMtWoman   G’nite all.
