PORCH PONDERINGS

Oops - You're out of order here

25. Pumpkin Pie Day
Are you a fan? Why or why not.
It’s okay. It’s a good source of Vitamin A - but by the time you put all that whipped creme on top, you’ve ruined it.

We went to a friend’s house. She has a ranch. She and her brother raise cattle, sheep and she has some chickens and a good size garden in the summer. It is pretty ramshackle. She and her husband live in a run-down single-wide trailer. There is stuff, and I am being kind, everywhere. The house is a mess. She is not a good housekeeper. But what we go for is the company, not the environment.

My hubby goes in the spring to help with lambing. He also helps when it is time to shear the sheep. Quite an eye-opening time for a guy that used to commute to NYC each day and work on Wall Street.

She brings us fresh eggs each week. But I think that is just an excuse to sit at our kitchen counter and talk for an hour. Which is just fine.
We need to talk.
