A Day in Pictures

I like pictures.  I got up Saturday morning,((COFFEE)) grabbed my camera and decided to document my day.  My life isn't exciting, so you're not required to read the text, you can just look at pictures.
First thing after breakfast, I headed down the road to a farm I'm taking care of.  They have a batch of collie pups there right now.
Not a good picture.  Puppies are hard to get to sit still.  You'll just have to take my word for it, they're adorable.
Next, Honey and I pull started the grader for a friend who had to grade his driveway.

Nice grader, eh?
Went home,((COFFEE)) jumped in the pick up and started loading bales off of some of our fields to bring them home.

This is one ugly load.
Time to get home for milking.((COFFEE))  My view. :)

Thought I'd show you the bright trees around us.  They are rapidly losing their leaves.

Back to the house to get the raspberries trimmed and the fruit trees pruned.
Next pumpkins ready for the cellar and corn hung to dry.

((COFFEE))
Back to the collie farm to do chores and then down the road to take care of someone's cattle.  These ladies didn't have any water and I spent awhile trying to figure out why not.  Finally got my honey and he was able to get the water out to the trough.

This was my view as the sun went down.  Time to get home and get supper.

Honey said "Let's go out to eat."  Yeah! 
Told you it wasn't exciting.  It's just life.

Well I thought it was kinda exciting... It sounds like nothing broke all day (except the water trough mishap, maybe), which is exciting. And the leaves are GORGEOUS, which is also exciting. And you went out to eat! That happens once in a blue moon. Exciting!

Beth-So good to hear from you. You must have been raised on a farm. :) I miss you and look forward to next weekend.
Jessica-You are a busy lady. All of your chores and your shop besides. Still wish I lived closer.
CaryAnn-Maybe my life is more exciting than I thought???I am grateful for so many blessings.

Those look like some prime jumping haybales... And just looking at those pictures made me feel the fall! And Dulce had more puppies?! Gosh she's a machine! :) love you.

Mama Pea said...

Sounds (and looks) like a pretty good day to me! Would you have it any other way?

odiie said...

Mel-I wish you were here to jump on those bales. We have a couple hundred this year, that's some serious bale jumping. Dulce is taking a break for awhile. :)

Mama Pea-Yes, it was a good day. Things are settling down a bit now and it feels so peaceful.
You must be on the remodeling homestretch.
