Nuttin' much, honey!

Not a lot happening, but then again, when is there ever. Anyway, the weather has definitely turned fall-like - cool, but sunny and in the 60's (F). You'd think this would be great weather to work outside in. Like, say, cutting some of the branches that fell during the ice-storm last winter (Jan. 07). We've been putting the majority of the work off because of the summer heat, and thick & high weeds, not to mention ticks, seed ticks, and mosquitoes. And we've also had 3 gallons of yellow paint that a friend gave us a couple of months ago to paint the porch-roof wood. Sigh! We're just lazy, good for nuttin', countrified fringe folk. *snicker*

The garden is being closed down/let go/infrequently harvested. All that's left is a few tomatoes, couple of cantaloupe, and a few green beans. We started letting the chickens in a couple of weeks ago to eat whatever they wanted, hoping they'd zero-in on the bugs, which they did for the most part.

It's also time to start bringing Rain's tropical plants from the small garden. The pineapple plants, orange trees, and a few others that I can't recall.

And of course it's about time, and it's about space, it's about time to change the air-conditioner place. *giggle*

Still waiting to hear back from the Centurytel guys/gals on the new equipment they plan on putting in so that we can get DSL. He said the turn-around time on the order would be 3-4 weeks, and it's only been a week and a half. I was going to send him and email asking if he's heard anything, but changed my mind after I re-read the 3-4 week thing.

We strongly suspect we've got an egg thief visiting our chicken coop, because a fake egg was found on the floor yesterday. We seriously doubt a chicken knocked it out of the nest box, because they haven't before. The cats don't go in there, ever. So, I've been checking on the coop frequently, but haven't seen anything yet.
