Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Just a quick note to everyone

I thought I better update this blog since I have been so busy lately. Everything we are doing is late this year. We did not get in hay until September. Then, it looked like we did not have enough firewood for winter, so we started harvesting some trees that needed thinned. K was cutting and I was loading it up, hauling it to the house, and stocking it into the woodshed. I have been so busy storing wood for winter it seems as if I might be part squirrel.

The first real snow is suppose to start here tomorrow. It is called lake affect. The temperatures are different between the lake and the air hitting the area so it creates snow storms. It rained all day today. The snowy weather is forecast for at least the next 10 days.

I usually put up my Christmas Tree on the first day of deer hunting season. I managed to get the tree up then OK. But, it was another several days before I had time to put on the lights and now I'm getting the ornaments on about 4 or 5 a day so I will be trimming this tree for another week at the rate I am getting it finished.

Today I was suppose to be ordering presents online so they would get here on time but, I missed so I stopped in here first.

I also jumped into "The Monthly Reading Challenge" with a try for reading 5 books this month. I'm reading a book by Matthew Walker, PHD. called Why We Sleep. It is taking a while to finish because there is all kinds of information about how he designed the tests he used, to form the conclusions about sleep he is presenting.

All this plus, house cleaning, laundry, dishes,cooking, barn cleaning,dog walking, and reading as regular daily chores. It has been keeping me really busy. Today, I cleaned the eaves on the back porch as well. There is a big Maple Tree in the front yard. When it loses its leaves the wind blows them over the roof and into the eve troughs. It doesn't take long to clean them just busy work. But, I got drawn in and cleaned up the back porch as well.

Merry Christmas I'll be around more soon.
