First Snow..

or so it looked like this morning when i woke up to Den grumbling and tracking in clouds of fluffy white stuff all over the floor.

But snow..in Sept? Oh.. wait.. the stupid dog decided to bust open the sack of DE on the porch and roll in it! That *cloud of snow* was really a cloud of DE!

DE is great for a lot of things.. esp bug killing..but its not great for having heaped on your door step! So after dusting the cats and dog better with it for flea control.. i started the morning sweeping up 40 lbs of dichotomous earth!

Blue skies!

Finally blue skies here in Oklahoma! We have had soo much rain thats its felt more like spring than fall! But today is gorgeous. In the low 70s so cool and crisp like fall is supposed to be and not a rain cloud in sight!

Right now im waiting for the grass to dry and then i'm going out to turn out the large sheep flock and worm the small goat herd. Then I've got to clean out the small goat house and get it ready to wean the mini togg kids to overnight so that i can start milking their mom.

Theres always something that needs to be done on the homestead..but life is good here :)
